    Future proof VR Build?

    Can this run VR smoothly?

    You are fail. Look at the reviews and benchmarks on THIS WEBSITE. The only 3 cards that render all the frames. Please stop speaking to something you have no idea of.

    Can this run VR smoothly?

    You sure are wrong.. just plain wrong that or you fail to see the difference between a rendered frame and a frame that was copied from the last frame. Either way you are wrong. From you idea a 1080 ti would be the same as a 1060 3 gb. To the op, a 1070 will run everything out there. It will...

    Solved! PC for VR

    1080 will work.. the 1050 will work. What it does is copied the d frame and displays it again. This makes it 90 fps but can have a sick feeling. 1080 does that 10 percent of the time. 1070 like 40 % my old 970 was 50%. For cartoon games not even a issue but in fps. Like onward Insta barf...

    Solved! Processor question for VR

    The CPU is not as much as the GPU. I ran HTC with a 2500K I run ED maxed out witha 3770k not oc'ed with a 1080 ti.
