What is Windows Mixed Reality Ultra?

Not all Windows Mixed Reality experiences are created equal.

Alongside the final details for the Fall Update to Windows 10, Microsoft announced there would be multiple "tiers" of Windows Mixed Reality PC. Your PC can either be Windows Mixed Reality Ready, or it can be a Windows Mixed Reality Ultra computer. This raises a lot of questions, in particular how you can tell the difference between the two tiers just by looking at a PC and what it might take to upgrade your existing machine to be an "Ultra" machine.

Here's what we know so far, and what you can do to get started!

Defining Windows Mixed Reality Ultra

According to Microsoft, the two PC tiers are all about performance. From the initial announcement (emphasis ours):

Windows Mixed Reality PCs will consist of desktops and laptops with integrated graphics. When plugged into these devices, our immersive headsets will run at 60 frames per second. Windows Mixed Reality Ultra PCs will consist of desktops and laptops with discrete graphics. When plugged into these devices, our immersive headsets will run at 90 frames per second.
