What GPUs are you using for PCVR?

[danlightbulb]

Thought it might be a good snapshot, to see what GPUs people are using for their PCVR gaming, given PCVRs fairly high end demands.

Please post your GPU, your headset, and if you like, how you perceive performance and quality to be in the games you play.


I'm on a 3070 and Quest 2. Mainly use it for flight sim now and it's decent on mostly medium settings but there is certainly a lot of quality improvement left on the table and it can be a little jerky still especially when flying lower. Still a great experience though. On driving Sims it gets better framerates.

5800X3D with a 4090, on a quest pro.
Mix of watching movies, walkabout mini golf and ams2. Manages it all with ease.

 

[drakulton]

4790K, 3070 and Q2, I don't play AAA stuff so everything works without cranking the settings down, apart from the steam home room which I have on medium.

 

[Tykey]

i7 7700K and a 4090 although i had a 3080ti before it and it did ok, i think we adapt to what we have.

 

[Unseul]

2700x with a 6700xt. Don't do much pcvr and definitely not aaa

 

[Firestar_3x]

5800X3D and a 4090 running a Valve Index.

As this is a SIM setup its mainly project cars etc, basically runs everything cranked.

I'm still on my 3080 with quest2.

 

[SimonRigga]

i7 12700K , 2070 Super, Quest2

half life alyx, which runs ok surprisingly
DCS - settings quite low, but does play
Project Cars 2 - again settings reduced, but does the job

Played lots of other PCVR games, and they tend to run ok. Surprised the 2070S hold up quite well.

However I am looking to upgrade and currently looking for someone to convince me I don't need a 4090. (I can afford it, but £1600 on a grfxs card just makes me pause!)

3090FE on a Quest Pro/2. Works great for most games but some poorly optimised games can make it chug.

 

[ShiWarrior]

7600 with a 3090 here
using a pico 4
i run via virtual desktop and I'm 2 settings below Godlike setting
i can run it 1 setting below rather well, but i checked the latency and its a little high for my liking, so use medium to get maximum performance at the best possible quality

Is the CPU that important for VR. I only play ZZZ titles, so the gameplay isn't taxing and they still look very nice with a 3070. Obvs in AAA pancake gaming it's CPU bound.

 

[ShiWarrior]

GPU is most important

The 4790K will do me for a while yet then.

 

[ShiWarrior]

I don't know that line of CPU but i think you'll be fine, if you want to upgrade, the 4090 graphics card is what I'd get

5800X3D and a 4090

 

[BigBANGtheory]

7800X3D & 4090 with a Vive Pro 2 (2448 x 2448 pixels per display)

The 4090 was necessary to get 90fps in graphically demanding (or poorly optimised) PCVR games I'm pleased with the results its still much better than the PSVR2 but the expense was very high to realise that high resolution.

 

[kevman]

3090 and valve index

 

[Craig R]

3070. I'll probably look to upgrade when getting the Quest 3.
4090 is way too pricey for me though.

 

[Zefan]

The 4790K will do me for a while yet then.

Probably getting quite bad minimums though compared to a newer CPU, which will surely be especially impactful in VR. Average FPS never tells the whole story.
