Tricky11 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Just though i would let you guys know. I ordered my CV1 yesterday..( Yes thats correct Sunday) at 11.45am. Got a email tonight at 6.45pm with my tracking number and should be here by wednesday. I guess they have got rid of all the back log orders then? Ohh and i am UK based to and it is being shipped from the Netherlands.. Wooo hooo i cant wait:thumbup:
sohei Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 You're in for an awesome time dude! Make sure you've got any required port adapters. I had to wait another 48 hours for a 4k compatible mini display port to hdmi adapter before I was up and running. A small pie is soon eaten

Do i need a adaptor?
Chivas Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Ohhh.. what adaptors might that be? Im running a reference gtx980? Do i need a adaptor? If your 980 has two HDMI ports, or your monitor has a display port then you should be fine.. For some reason many of the new gpu's come with 3 Display Ports, and only one HDMI port. I had to buy a Display Port to HDMI adapter, as my monitor and Rift both required an HDMI port.

Ahh its ok my monitor uses display port. Jeezz i was getting worried then lol :thumbup:

If you get an adapter then make sure that you use that to the monitor, not the Rift. At least in my case, the Rift did not like it.

If you're going to use an adapter, it has to be specifically 4k compatible otherwise you'll get no signal. A small pie is soon eaten
j0nx Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I wouldn't use the adapter for the rift. Use the adapter for your monitor and use the native hdmi port on the video card for the rift.

hansangb Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 My problem was that native HDMI didn't work. It just stopped working after about a week. So I got the 4K capable HDMI to DP adapter and it worked like a charm. Annoying, but it's the price you pay for being an early adopter (which I'm happy to do) hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
j0nx Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Ah, I guess it's beyond time to RMA your video card at this point. Glad it works for you.

hansangb Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Honestly, I didn't even check. Simple adapter fixed it, and I'm sure I'll upgrade soon enough so why bother! :) hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
Gman109 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Ordered one today, they sent me an email saying it's shipping tomorrow - 1 day service in Canada, crazy. 914$ total, incl tax+shipping/etc. I've been stressing out about cancelling my Rift and going with the Vive after a lot of reading and questions here, so just decided screw it, no reason not to have both, not like they are going anywhere or that there isn't going to be PILES of stuff to use both units for (Elite Dangerous I really want to play too, and apparently ED + Vive = Poop...nice equation huh, I'm a math major!).
