    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.

      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 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)
