New graphic Card for VR... ?! Need your Help Guys..

[J★ker]

I am currently running on a rtx 2060 with an AMD 5800 processor... Which graphic Card would improve FPS and settings preset Set to ultra? I can spent Maximum 600 Euros... Thanks in advance 😊

i run a VivePro2 on a 12gb rtx3060. it works very well. wasnt too expensive,

Not sure you can run in ultra with a 5800 cpu since some of the settings such as track details and shadows are heavily CPU related. I couldn't run it in ultra with my 3900x not sure for the 5800, for info I refuse any repro method and need 90 fps)
Also without knowing your HMD it is complicated but for 600 euros I would go 4070 which can be found @600, nvidia is better for VR and you'll get a bif perf upgrade..

If you are using a quest 2 with link or air link then Nvidia is probably your best bet.

Your best card would be the RTX 4090i for the best garhical experience you can have for VR
👍🤙

LousS is right a lot of things now are CPU related from what im reading, get a bloody good CPU then you wont need a top of the line GPU unless your all about eye candy and want to run the highest possible settings.
I also believe this is because most developers are still not really catering for VR & even Triple screen. I will say AMS2 is better than most in VR

RTX 4090 by stealing from neighbor.

And then, if you has some cash left after buying the super hard core RTX 4090 nvidia card throw your headset you own now into the bin and get the PIMAX CRYSTAL instead! You will never will go back into reality ever again, skip school, work, sleep, girlfriend, cat, dog food and your boring normal live in all. We welcome you into da world of the real VR! 🤙🤙🤙

You need the best GPU your budget allows Which is around a 4070ti, 6800xt / 6950xt.

Source is the project cars 2 VR benchmark (which is the same engine as ams2) =

thanks for all your insights guys, much appreciated. for the cpu i was wrong i am running a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor and was planing to buy a 5800x 3d . could my current cpu be a game breaker / bottleneck? i am using the pico neo 3 link cause of the dp cable. thanks again

As mentioned before think about update the amount of memmory above 8 gigabyte. At least 16 and recommend 32 gig. You want to have the graphics card to have at least 12 gig mem olso. Olso make sure your cooling is on par as well together with a good power suply.
Look around for the best prices because between stores there are big diverences.
Good luck with building your new rig bud! 👍

i was looking for a 3060 ti currently from msi (gaming trio) which has good reviews. but it "only" has like 8gb vram.. but the card itself is known as the best 3060 ti and it only is like 10% slower then an 3070? i tried out a 7600 xt but that was worse then my 2060 regarding vr ...

[MISTER WU]

I run the 3070 and over clock it past what the Ti version is and its never needed the whole 8 GIG of RAM on the GPU.

[J★ker]

u mean for playing in vr or in general? thanks

[MISTER WU]

I only ever race in VR mate, have been doing so for some 5-6 years now.

EDIT: I am looking to upgrade but was also expecting more from my tax return after paying 40K in tax, i only got $900 back LOL.

Thats Australian Gobberment!!!

Your actual CPU is indeed a bottleneck for ultra, but your GPU too.
Your CPU will be an issue for shadows and polygonal complexity (mostly pit crew, track details, car details) but also for shadows.
Everything else (resolution, AA, filtering, and other quality settings) will be more GPU related.
What is your headset?
