Looking to get a new GPU for mostly VR and I was going to go with 5070TI, but it's crazy £900+ prices don't seem like a good idea.

Only thing not being 100% on AMD is I read it's not as supported in VR as NVIDIA over wireless using virtual desktop.

Using my RTX 2070 in VR been very good with no real issues other than it's lack in performance.

Hi, afaik VD supports AMD. I'm considering a 9070 too because of nvidia prices, I think 1 thing to be aware of with AMD is in the past their drivers when a card releases do not work that well with VR but they fix things eventually, so it's possibly the 9070 might not be great with VR initially.

Yea that is my worry as I think for the 7 series it took a while to fix?
 
i think they've seen the Nvidia issues, and i suspect they are working closely with Valve on the deckard so would hope they would have it sorted for VR..
 
either card AMD or Nvidia will be fine

it all depends what your expectations are, I've now got a 5080 with a Quest 3 so i can run higher resolution in AMS2 and Elite Dangerous etc

Well honestly I was using 6600K cpu with the 2070 until recently I could upgrade to 7600x, 64GB ram (for DCS) so after playing on low to medium settings for long time anything above that would be nice .

I do have ASUS RT-AX56U WiFi 6 router just for my VR streaming which helps.

With the issues with the 7 series was VR broken on release of the card or was a later patch that messed it up?

Thank you.
