Hi, I’d like to ask a question regarding a possible HW upgrade.
My focus is on having a smooth VR experience (currently owning a Rift S headset but aiming at something better in the future).
My current system:
i7 10700 (non k) 32GB @3200, GTX1080Ti 11GB, AIO liquid cooler single 120mm fan, 650W PSU
I can’t say for VR but for a new system for regular screen 1440p I’d go with 12400f, 3060 Ti and 16GB 3600Mhz DDR4. You can add more power on top of that, but you can’t beat the cost performance. And once 13th gen with the expanded L3 cache (which MSFS likes) comes around you could buy 13400f on the same mobo and will still probably maintain superior cost-performance compared to beefier 12th gen Intels even if you don’t manage to resell the old CPU.
Agreed. VR is GPU limited, even with the best GPU’s out there. I have a non-K i7-10700 with an AMD RX 6800XT (Basically the AMD version of the RTX 3080) and I am fully GPU limited when running in VR on an HP Reverb G2.
