Tbh, that VR spec is a joke. Looks like it was put together about 3 or 4 years ago!

What is your budget? Do you have VR gear and a joystick/throttle already?

I had a 1080ti and performance in vr was terrible.

i bought a 3070 and performance was bad.

then I bought a 3090 and have never had to think about performance again

Yep the 3090 is one sweet card.

Funny, how many praised the 1080Ti back in the time when Rift CV1 and Vive Pro were the top ones, that how amazing performance you got with all settings up. All the way to the time until really the 3090 has come, has there been something much better. But you pay for it. But having a stable 90 FPS in VR with previous gen doesn't make the latest and greatest does any better than that.

well to be fair with a low res headset like the rift s you can get decent frames out of the 1080ti. But once I switched to the index it fell apart
