iscabox Flux Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm trying to access HMD mode but I get a notice saying my graphics card does not support the shaders required to use an Oculus Rift, I gone into graphics tab but it's all greyed out.. I only have the one card installed.. no onboard (disabled at Bios does not even show up on windows) and I'm running Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 HoF 4GB, my processor is i7-5th gen 8 core with 16GB RAM... any ideas?

The Oculus Rift project viewer is built on old code that still uses a GPU look-up table to determine the capabilities of a video card. The 900 series Nvidia cards are too new to be on the table used in the viewer, but it's possible to edit the GPU table manually to put more cards on it. Viewers built on newer code don't have this issue. This JIRA entry has an updated GPU table attached to it as a text file: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-8771 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into the viewer install folder and delete the file named gpu_table.txt Replace it with the gpu_table.txt you just downloaded. Login on the viewer - hopefully your card will now be correctly detected and you can use HMD mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalates Urriah Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I have an old article that tells how to modify the GPU Table. http://blog.nalates.net/2013/08/26/gpu-table-performance/ PS: get a file that has your card.
