Details On Valve's Index VR Headset Leak, Will Ship In June

From PC Mag: Whoops. Valve may have accidentally leaked details about its upcoming VR headset by posting the Steam page for the product a bit too early.

Twitter user @Wario64 spotted the Steam page, which includes a clearer picture of the VR headset, and says the product will start shipping on June 15.

According to the Steam page, the headset will feature integrated headphones, a tether that'll work with DisplayPort 1.2 and USB 3.0 connections, and two "face gaskets" for narrow and wide face sizes. In terms of minimum requirements, the headset will need a graphic card using either an Nvidia GTX 970 or an AMD RX480 to run. But its recommended the owner use an Nvidia GTX 1070 card or higher.

A seperate page spotted by @Wario64 also indicated that the headset will work with what's called an "Index base station," and two controllers. Unfortunately, the pages are no longer up. But Valve told The Verge the information on the pages is accurate. The company plans on making a full product announcement on May 1.
