AMD 9070XT VR good idea?

That's good info. Actually, during the AMD presentation before launch, they did emphasise that they improved the performance in the various codecs. So that's good news for all headsets that use any kind of streaming.

I would imagine that these will be good for most VR headsets.

Would stick to whatever budget you have though.
 
A few thoughts:
  • Prior to the 9070, I got the impression from the DCS forums that the AMD GPUs weren't really that great at VR
  • I did see a VR test of the 9070 in DCS over the weekend. The frame rate looked good, which is positive
  • Nvidia's DLSS upsampling was a real mess in VR until DLSS4 arrived. That's now been resolve and it genuinely works well
  • DLAA is awesome in say DCS in VR, and completely superseded MSAA for myself
  • AMD have introduced their hardware based version of DLSS in the 9070, but it's early days and it's going to take a while for it's introduction into a number of PCVR titles
  • There was comment earlier in this thread about the 50 series not being great in VR. Sorry, that's dead wrong. I received a 5080 last week, replacing a 3080Ti. The improvement in DCS is phenomenal. The frame rates I've seen suggest that it's roughly halfway between a 4080 and a 4090 in performance. No, that's not a dramatic improvement on the 4080, but it's the same basic cost as a 4080, but with better performance. Hardly fair to call it pants.
Let me put it another way. I put my money where my mouth is and bought a 5080 over a 9070 last week, and it's probably not fair to poke an "nvidia fanboy" comment at me, as I use a 7800x3d CPU.

Yeah with DCS Nvidia definitely the way to go, but AMD for £660 vs £860+ for 5070ti where the line drawn when I want great VR experience but paying over the odds for it
