    As someone who dropped $550 on a 1080 (not Ti) years ago and still using it for VR, I could be tempted to go AMD. Nvidia has gone off the deep end with pricing and I can’t see myself going that route. I’m starting to hit some bottleknecks and I’m sure I’ll upgrade in the next 3 years.

      I nabbed a 6800 XT for $550 last fall also for VR and the same one’s even cheaper now (but the 7800 XT probably has it beat assuming the same or greater performance)

      Too bad amd has always lagged in VR performance. Especially if you were trying to do wireless quest, I think the encoding latency was quite a bit higher.

        I use an AMD GPU and I stream to my Quest 2 a lot. I’ve only had one app have issues ever. It was Google Earth VR which I understand that they quit developing. I have never noticed latency either…

      I’m in the same situation and at the current overpriced frame cost I’ll be waiting either for the next gen or the secondhand market once the next gen drops or just keeping the card another year.
