Performance with Gtx 1060 3GB?

Hey guys I'm wondering if I should buy HTC Vive next week on Black Friday.
Is any1 using 1060 3GB variant and can say some words on available games and any FPS issues?
I did get a score of 7.5 on Steam VR test, with frames under 90fps - 0.
I'm wondering mostly for coming Fallout 4 VR, do we need to run games on high settings, or is it fine on VR to play lower settings/textures but HTC Vive resolution?

you can also run VRMark Demo on steam . At the end you can compare with actual standards and see where you are.

Thanks, I did a VRMark demo benchmark.

6510 score, it doesn't seems to look bad.
It was run without any boost to cpu/gpu.

I have an i7 with a 1070, but I configured my son's pc and it's almost identical to yours. I tested my Vive with my son's pc and it worked. But... it's not the same. No supersampling and there is a degradation on every aspect of the image. For example, the basket ball at Rec Room was not spheric, it was polygonal. Could I play and enjoy the Vive? Sure. Anyway, it was about six months ago, and many improvements appeared in the meantime. Now everything runs better. Enjoy the Vive and welcome!

You can test your system yourself

and compared it to these

this one adds a 480

Yeah, I thought on this seems 1060 will sucks for stable 90fps on games with a better sampling, I'm thinking to buy gtx 1070ti or 1080 but not sure yet, which is better in long term.

Go with a custom pcb 1080. It will overclock better.
Here's what a custom 1070 ti can do

A 1080 ti requires a good power supply and I'm not sure has one one coming from a 1060.

I've ordered GTX 1080, I think that should be enought for most of games with around 1.5 supersampling.

I don't even use SS or AA when I play multiplayer games. A 1080 should last a while and will even make VR playable. Make sure you have a good power supply or else you will have problems.

I have a GTX 1060 3 GB as well, and even though I can get upwards of 120 FPS on Steam’s VR performance test, I’m still a bit skeptical about its VR capabilities.
