NVIDIA Brings High-Grade Specs To Run HTC Vive LAN Party

Nvidia will reportedly provide a machine that can run four units of HTC Vive headsets simultaneously. This means that four users in a similar physical space could enjoy shared VR experience. However, they will need a powerful PC with four high-grade Nvidia Quadro P6000 graphics cards worth more than $5,000 each to make the setup a reality.

Reports suggest, however, that it is not only about booting up Windows and having the four HTC Vives connected. Nvidia, instead, will have a machine that runs four virtual machines on a PC server, which means every HTC Vive has essentially an instance of Windows to itself, TechRadar reported.
