VR Gamer/Streamer, looking to upgrade.

[Haira]

Hi All,

Recently I've got back into VR and with the way my system struggles with some VR titles I'm considering an upgrade. 4 years ago this was roughly £2000 as a new build, but hopefully I wont have to replace too much...

I generally experience instability and some screen tearing with the VR titles, and then streaming any recent games higher than medium settings causes the stream to drop frames. Thanks in advance for the tips!

Could you wait for the rumoured 5080 Super? I wouldn't be keen on dumping £1K on the 16GB version.
