What GPU can run this in VR?

[Adden]

I have a gtx 1060 6GB and i thought that was enough so i bought an oculus rift S. But i asked for help with some stutters and was told that my card was way under the limit. Which one should i aim for to be able to handle this game?

I have a laptop with the VR ready sticker on it, ASUS GU501GM Has the 1060 6gb, but I have read this is the weakest card, the minimum. Without VR, this game is resource hungry, GPU at 70% average spiking to max. CPU is still ok I7 8750H @ 20% during the gameplay.

vr ready, nice advertisement, but dont excpet too much with thsi hardware, its minimal.

I read in another post people changing CPU thread counts, helped them with stuttering, might help with VR too.

Hi Adden,

I have a 1060 6GB (plus Ryzen 5 1600X, 16GB RAM). If you check my other posts on NMS VR you will see my experiences. But in short, I am running the game at 50% resolution in SteamVR with all settings on their lowest level.

Based on these settings I am still running at way under 90FPS on Rift CV1 almost all of the time. However, as others have said the most recent experimental build has improved things. I am definitely able to play it now but it's best to set your expectations fairly low if you're using a 1060 6GB.

Who said GTX 1060 6GB is a low card? come out here, let this grandfather beat your a**! The lag is most probably more CPU related than GPU. RAM could be the case as well.

So what I suggest is to buy a good CPU, probably an i7-8700 and upgrade your RAM to 16 GB 3200 MHZ!

If those don't work then.. maybe your VR config or something?

[Adden]

Thanks for all the info. Everything counts! I'm just going to wait a bit since NMS is the only thing that won't runt smooth. But i'm due to an upgrade and this was really helpful.

I see. I never thought it would run good, but i'm just looking for an aim of what to get in the future. Thanks.

I've got a 1060 6gb and its fine. In fact I think its a great card all round for VR, easily the best price to performance ratio, at least when I bought it a few years ago, the 2060 might be a better choice these days but still, people way over estimate the need for massive amounts of GPU performance in VR. Sure more is always nice, but the only VR game where I have to accept sub par frame rates is XPlane 11 and that's only because I refuse to lower the building count from max. Gotta have my fully populated cities to fly around.

Note this is for first gen VR headsets like the Vive and Oculus CV1, newer headsets with higher res screens may need a bit more power.

I've got gtx 1080 and it works well (i got oculus rift S). Might depend about your cpu aswell? I got i7-6800k

Hi Adden, tbh NMS is so CPU intensive it's hard to know which GPUs might struggle.
A few additional things to try though, for Rift S (same hmd I am running) "opencomposite" helps, it's a small program that's kinda like a reverse "revive" as it can run SteamVR games direct to oculus api rather than the additional load SteamVR can present.
Also, the numhighthread & numlowthread settings in the VR settings file are... Odd, it doesn't seem to correctly set them up, there's various suggestions around setting to try depending on your cpu cores/threads - it vastly improved things for me and the last update yesterday reduced the cpu load considerably so they do seem to be finding optimisations.

I have a 970gtx and i can play everything VR has to offer, and i'm having a blast. Your gpu is better than mine so you shouldn't worry too much. Maybe 16gb ram would help, but 1060 is good. People with the last and more expensive GPU are crying in this forum beacuse of performance. The problem with NMS VR right now is optimization, if it gets better, it will for everyone, if not, there are a lot other vr games that your 1060 can handle easily.

2070.

ALso I wouldnt say its worth of an upgrade between a 970 vs 1060. The two perform rather equal .

You are playing this with only 45 FPS thou.....

Oveclocked 1080ti, RTX 2080 and 2080ti.

[Rea1_Vision]

My i7 6700k must be picking up some of the slack because I have a 1050ti and I haven't had problems with any game in VR including this one (after a few patches).

[Adden]

I didn't expect so many good tips and hints. This is great.

Of course, maybe more, maybe less , it is still great! I could say the same with your 2070, you can't play this on 8k, 150fps, 144hz and 130+ fov, so you are not playing VR correctly either. So what?

there is a difference between playing VR correctly , wich is impossible now, since vr is making its first steps, and having enough to experience it and have fun.
