What's DK2?
Guessing the Rift Dev Kit 2.

Yeah it was the last dev kit before the consumer release.
It all depends on whether it needs the controllers, and whether you can use a 360 controller instead.

At launch Batman Arkham VR will support the HTC Vive’s motion controllers and Oculus Touch. It’ll also have full gamepad support on PC, including the PS4 Dual Shock 4 Controller, Xbox One Controller and the Steam Controller
Well that sounds promising
Will just have to wait and keep an eye on youtube. Not wanting to waste £15 atm money is tight.

in the latest release, and the final installment in the Unity 5 cycle, they added Vulkan support officially(it was beta before iirc) as well as massive updates to there particle and lighting systems.
This is very nice to see from them. Unity is pretty popular, and since it now supports Vulkan, it should hopefully entice devs to use it.

This could be interesting, Microsoft are going to add physics support to Direct X -
https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/76424-microsoft-planning-to-add-physics-support-to-directx
This line is interesting - “The PhysX simulations can also be accelerated using Ageia hardware.”
Could this see a return of physics cards ?

Integrated havok? I'm just curious, but like SPS or Sub, what is so special about Havok? Is it just that great of a physics engine?

Havok is brill and the performance cost is tiny compared to something using Nvidia's Physx for example.

Havok and PhysX are both very good physics engines. Microsoft own Havok now so that's why it's probably mentioned.

New Firestrike Vega benchmark spotted, I really hope this is the lowest end Vega as that graphics score is terrible, I got nearly 31K with a 1080 Ti.

Yeah, I imagine that's the lowest Vega SKU.
AMD to make Public Announcements May 16
NO THIS ISN'T A VEGA PRODUCT LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT !
But these announcements still will be big. Arguably bigger than Vega.
The meeting will take place at AMD HQ in Sunnyvale on Tuesday May 16th. The announcement themselves will be more of the nature of strategic planning whereby time tables will be divulged for future core components.
These will include Navi the third generation Graphics Architecture that will succeed Vega. It will include information on the 7nm manufacturing technology that will be used for Navi. There will also be major news on Zen+/Zen 2 including details into the timetable for that product to be launch. Reports thus far say 2018
There should be some news tidbits on Naples also.
And speaking of tidbits no meeting would without a couple on Vega just to keep the torture fest going. So how is the pain ?
This meeting is about revealing what plans AMD Management has for the company after 2018.
Vega will have a dedicated Launch Event......but they are not telling yet.

MSI teases an X299 motherboard:
Too much Christmas on everything today (thank f for an off button lol)

I'm really quite looking forward to X299 and the new HEDT CPU's. Haswell-E was good. The 5960X was a beast, though ridiculously overpriced and the 5820K was a corker. Broadwell-E was a disappointed release. I think they should have skipped Broadwell-E and gone from Haswell-E to Skylake-E, if possible. They would have been in a better position against Ryzen if they could have done that.

What does a corker mean? Yeah they could've skipped this current generation easily, especially now that X299 has been moved up significantly.
I decided I need an 8C/16T on the HEDT X299 platform, not for today but for tomorrow (though starting off with a 6 core mainstream may be a good idea). I'm looking forward to learning more about everything that Basin Falls will entail
I looked in my crystal ball (read: a glass of wine) and foresee an Asus X299 Strix board in my future (that model is somewhat affordable).
Yeah pretty sweet eh! They kinda have to offer more than the two on current mainstream boards. And there won't be a shortage of lanes on the upcoming PCH
