Okay so i own both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
I recently upgraded my GPU to a ASUS Geforce GTX970 about 2-3 months ago.
I purchased my custom gaming rig from Overclockers about 3 years ago.
My hardware specs include:
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor @ 4.40GHz
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Patriot Intel Extreme Masters 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9
1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
BeQuiet Dark Rock 2 CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2)
Corsair 2013 Edition Gamer Series GS 600W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
Ive made sure that i switched my fan on the machine from Auto to manual and have it on full. Also i use the Asus GPU Tweak Tool for overclocking the GPU and I've made sure that is also set on Overlock settings and not the silent gaming mode.
Most things work fine, however i can not play all VR Vive games with high consistant frame rates on full settings. Games like Hover Junkies, Chair: The Room, The Gallery can sometimes stutter like crazy on full settings (low fps i presume).
My question is that i feel that i should upgrade my Graphics Cards to nVidia such as gtx1070 etc... but will this work with my current Processor, motherboard, power supply etc...?
Also I think that i should upgrade my processor is this possible with my current motherboard etc as it all is? and which processor would you recommend i go if i go for the gtx1080?
Thanks!
