I'm okay with another $350 for the card, but I want to avoid a situation where I spend almost $1200 today only to be told I'll need a new card tomorrow. I don't want a $350 card just as a 6-8 month stop-gap measure. I'd prefer to limp by with my 950 if possible. Seems like that might not work out considering the performance demands of VR.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoAgreed. There are some blogs out there claiming that nVidia Pascal will be 10x faster than Maxwell[1]. It's been partially debunked, but there's no doubt that it's going to be a big improvement. Fast video cards are important enough to VR that if that kind of power is available, it's going to be used. A 970 may be enough now, but I don't think it's going to be enough for long. 1: http://wccftech.com/nvidia-pascal-gpu-gtc-2015/ http://wccftech.com/nvidia-pascal-gpu-gtc-2015/
