Valve Index on a gtx geforce 1060 3gb

[Karl]

i know this has probably been asked already but anything i searched up didnt answer my questions. ive been thinking of buying a index in a couple of months but when i did the test your pc thing it said this pc would have trouble running vr so is it possible to run games like blade and sorcery and gorn with a geforce 1060 3gb?

blade and sorcery? HECK TO THE NO. Half-Life: Alyx? Barely... If you want VR, aim for 2070 SUPER and above.

get a better GPU ..as the 3 gig gtx 1060 also has cut down vid shaders vs a 6 gig card
plus many 3 gig GTX 1060 cards make use of slower GDDR 5 ram and clock speed

will it work ? .. it may ..but may be a bad experience

ok well thanks for the responses

Recommended
Processor: Quad Core+
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 or better
Additional Notes: Available USB (3.0+) Port required for Headset Pass-Through Camera

the GTX 1070 cards have 8 gig of V ram , not 3 or 6

That's a pretty absurd claim yet again made by you.

Blade and Sorcery requires a 1060 or 970 and recommend a 1070, so a GTX 1660 Super would be perfectly fine. Half-Life: Alyx's minimum is a 1060 or 580, GTX 16 series would again be fine.

For "headroom" an RX 5700 or RTX 2060 would be perfectly fine. You don't need a 2070S for high quality VR.

and again you miss the point of the users post he has a GTX 1060 3 gig card

I didn't recommend the 1060 3G nor 6G for VR nowadays, now did I? No. I clearly recommended the GTX 1660S and above. Maybe you should read instead of slamming your fists into your keyboard because I disagreed with Kurumi's statement that a 2070S or better is ideal for VR, as if everything beneath it is far from adequate. He's literally content with recommending way overkill hardware for the task people are looking at doing, because he has no idea what overkill actually is. (For reference, he uses a 10900X and Titan RTX for gaming at 1080p with light work that 3600 can do.)

and again you change the topic to be totally different question the OP asked about a GTX 1060 3 gig card ..

My recommendation of the GTX 16 series is literally an answer to the OP's question, just rather indirectly (it goes without saying that if 6GB and 8GB cards are the recommended minimum, a 3G isn't going to cut it), and you made the choice to pick at me when I was merely making it known that Kurumi's claim was way incorrect when the recommended spec is more in line with a 1660S or Ti. If you want to complain about topic changing, don't do the exact same thing

Your aggressive tone and convoluted answer is why he responded to your answer in the same way I initially did in my head while reading it.

Further interpretation reveals a miscommunication tempered by a foul tone, likely representative of previous negative interactions.


(An outside opinion).



To clear it up it is a simple disagreement about the 1060 being able to handle Blade and Sorcery.


A suggestion for the 1660 super was also made.

The issues with VR games is unlike traditional 3d games, VR games often do not have in depth graphics settings. They are meant to run on a decent cpu and gpu that at least meets or exceeds the overall VR minimums, which are generally...

CPU: I7 class or Ryzen 5 class (non U model cpus, which are much lower class due to being low power cpus)
RAM: 16GB
GPU: GTX 1070 or RX 590, or better

Gtx 1060 3gb isn't even good enough for many games at 1080p, high or ultra due to being slower then a 1060 6gb (basically a gtx 980 performance class) and also the fact that below 4gb vram just doesn't cut it ever since VR released. Even many demanding non-VR games can eat up over 4gb vram at 1080p, depending on graphics settings.

So yea a RTX 2070 Super or 5700 XT are what's realistic suggestions today for VR
