"This [The Exemplar 2] PC doesn’t just meet the specs for VR, it exceeds them..." - Gordon Ung

To find out if that’s really true, I decided to test it. For my high-end control hardware, I used an AVA Direct Exemplar 2 box. This PC doesn’t just meet the specs for VR, it exceeds them with a GeForce GTX 1080, 64GB of DDR4, and an overclocked Core i7-6700K. Indeed, AVA Direct built this PC after consulting VR specialty site RoadToVR.com for guidance on achieving an optimal VR experience.
