The development of CPUs has come a long way since the dawn of VR gaming, allowing for the previous 3-4 generations of CPUs to run the newest VR titles. While a GPU does the heavy lifting for producing images, a CPU can process many physical objects simulated in VR at varying interaction speeds. The 2nd most important component in a VR-based computer system is a good CPU that helps alleviate bottlenecks between itself and the GPU. A card in the RTX 20/30 series, such as the RTX 2080 or 3080, will have no problems hitting the higher refresh rates in most VR games. The Valve Index and Oculus Quest are for more modern hardware than the 1660 Super and 590. You can check out benchmarks of the Nvidia GTX 1660 Super card and its performance against its counterpart, the AMD 590, both released as a price to performance card for the lower-spec VR capable builds. Let's look at the most popular headsets in the market and the amount of FPS you need to push these headsets to their limit. Depending on the headset you want, the graphics card will offer a performance relevant to that headset’s maximum refresh rate. This applies to VR headsets all the same. When looking at monitors, you may have seen advertisements referring to “60hz/144hz/165hz refresh rates.” Hz is an abbreviation for Hertz, which transitions into FPS (frames per second). When considering which GPU, we first have to see the specs of our selected headset.Įach headset has a specific output that it can manage. Generating that much pixel density requires a dedicated GPU to produce this effect. To project video into the headset's lenses, imagine squeezing an entire 1920x1080p (or in some headsets, even more) resolution monitor into a 7 ½ by 4-inch space that you put on your head.
