Will an HTC Vive Work with an RX 460 and FX4350?

I want to know because I might get this for my birthday in a couple of months and my sister and I would really enjoy it. Will it function on frames above 30 for the most part? I'm assuming no, but it's always good to ask.

It will not be playable.

I'd like something more in depth, but okay.

How more in depth than "no, it won't work well, if at all" do you need? Do you want the precise number of frames you will get, because no one can predict that.

Look at how far below the minimum GPU (GTX 970, R9 290) your GPU is (three tiers). I can predict with almost certainty you will not be able to push the frames required for the HTC Vive to be even close to playable.

And it requires an FX 8350 or greater, of which your CPU isn't too far behind, but the FX-series is garbage for this day and age - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

it won't work. there is nothing to add.

the 460 is WAY too WEAK. to use a Vive you need at least a GTX970/1060, or RX580; and you probably want to go a bit better then those with a 1080.

you're talking about a $600 peice of hardware. Marrying it to a $500 pc isn't going to cut it.

Unfortunately I am only 13 and I am broke. I would love to get a 500 dollar graphics card but I just simply can't do it. Thanks for the answer though.

Well, start mowing those lawns and saving those pennies.

My dad won't let me cut yards. He's afraid I'll stick my hand under the motor and cut my fingers off, like what happened to his friend a long time ago.

That was figure of speech.
