The Oculus Rift for the longest time has been considered one of the two best VR headsets available in the market now. It somehow shares the top spot with HTC Vive but the Rift is a class of its own. It may belong to the higher price range but makes up for what it can offer for players.
According to IT Pro, the Oculus Rift will run smoothly on low-end PCs. This came about after the company introduced a new feature which is aimed at improving experiences at lower frame rates.
Asynchronous Space Warp is a new technology that helps Virtual Reality run more smoothly. This is possible by inserting automatically-generated frames based on the movement that is detected by the software.
The ASW is available with the release of the Oculus Rift 1.10 runtime. It will be available across all ranges of hardware and systems that support the feature. The ASW on Oculus Rift will engage when the application needs more time for rendering.
The requirements to have ASW available is attainable and easy to comply. The functionality has been enabled on all current-gen AMD GPUs and previous NVIDIA GPUs.
This is another added feature of Oculus Rift elevating the experience and making its reach broader as it is compatible with many other devices available. As other VR headsets exclusively work with its own such as Google Daydream only working on Pixel and Pixel XL, the Oculus Rift spreads its usability in greater lengths.

It will give players a way of playing the games on an enormous virtual screen. It may not enable for players to be part of the game but this option is good enough.
Any Xbox One games will run on Oculus Rift. It also will enable players to use wireless Xbox One controller that comes with the Oculus Rift to control the games.
There are more developments available for Oculus Rift enough to excite owners and future owners. Is it worth the steep price range of about $600? It all depends on a player's requirement, but if money is not an issue, then the Oculus Rift is a device to be had. Period.
