Oculus CEO Palmer Luckey has a message for Apple: build computers with better GPUs and then maybe we'll add Mac compatibility to Oculus Rift.

In fact, his actual words were even more blunt. During yesterday's Xbox press event, he told Shack News that Oculus Rift support is up to Apple. "If they ever release a good computer, we will do it," he said.

It's true that the Rift requires some hefty hardware: an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 or AMD R9 290, as well as a CPU that's at least as good as an Intel i5-4590. Most computers don't have those high end components, which means that if you want a Rift, you might have to shell out well north of $1,000 for a computer in addition to the $599 asking price of the headset itself.

Luckey, whose public statements have caused confusion in the past, clarified his dig at the quality of Apple's computers: "It just boils down to the fact that Apple doesn't prioritize high-end GPUs," he told Shack News. "You can buy a $6,000 Mac Pro with the top-of-the-line AMD FirePro D700, and it still doesn't match our recommended specs. So if they prioritize higher-end GPUs like they used to for a while back in the day, we'd love to support Mac. But right now, there's just not a single machine out there that supports it."

So if Mac users want a Rift, they'll have to buy a PC first, but they can take comfort in the knowledge that many PC users will also have to buy a new machine.

If you're interested in the Rift, which is now available for pre-order, we've done the legwork to come up with a list of PCs that meet those requirements. Not sure if it's for you? Here's our hands on to help you decide.
