The g/f loves flight sims and has inherited my recently old PC with a 1080 GTX And I’m struggling for idea for Christmas presents.

Sooo I’m thinking about a HTC VIVE Cosmos Elite HMD VR Headset. Will that VR headset run ok on a 1080 playing a MS Flight Sim and Elite at anything other than potato settings?

A 1080 will struggle with MSFS, it'll be ok with Elite. There are better hmd's than the Cosmos Elite for reasonable money
 
Ok thanks, don’t know forum rules about other recommendations so l‘ll do some googling.

Cheers.

Yeah having a look at some others :)

When you say struggling do you mean even at low settings, or at high?
 
I ran an Oculus Rift CV2 on a 1080 without any trouble but this was a few years ago now. I never got round to trying Elite and I’d sold it on by the time SW Squadrons came out. It will work OK with some older games but I suspect anything more recent will struggle. It has to show two different screens to get the depth effect and a 1080 doesn’t have the grunt.
 
Would one of the Gigabyte RTX 4060Ti WindForce OC 16GB be a worthy upgrade for VR gaming over a 1080 GTX?
 
MS Flight Sim is very borderline on a 1080. I bought a HP G2 specifically for FS, but ended up never using it because the visuals and performance were so poor with a 1080. It's about playable on minimum settings, but the quality is so low it's hard to even make out numbers on display.

The 4060ti is approximately 60% faster so would certainly be a fairly decent upgrade. But don't expect it to play FS in VR at amazing quality either.
 
if its for PC simming the Pico would be a nice option currently reduced, or even a Quest 2 would be better than a Vive Cosmos IMO.
