Ryzen 2400g ok for VR?

Long time lurker first time poster.

 

So around Christmas time I bought my self a PSVR and I love it. I enjoy it so much I want to buy a PC VR headset to try out some of the games that are not available for PS4. I want to make full use of room scale VR and I do have a space for it. Issue is moving my main PC (has a 1080ti) to another room is not an option.

 

So I want to build another computer that is good enough for VR. My plan is to build over time I simply can't afford to buy everything in one go. I have enough to buy a motherboard and CPU and about 8GB RAM at the moment. Am thinking off getting the new 2400g APU. Reviews are looking good and some benchmarks have really surprised me. So am wondering would this APU handle VR ok? I do plan on buying a dedicated GPU for this build at some point. But I flat at refuse to pay the prices most places are wanting for a GTX 1060 at the moment.

 

TL;DR: Would the 2400g APU be ok for VR gaming (without a dedicated GPU)? If not would the APU be fine for gaming with a dedicated GPU?

 

Thanks

None of the APU out there is enough for VR gaming. They demand a 1050ti at least, but the Vega 11 in 2400G only has GT 1030 level performance.

Definitely not. Vega 11 is barely 80% of a GTX 750 Ti (which is inadequate for VR at non-sickening framerates), so it's absolutely not enough.

 

With a dedicated GPU though, it could definitely do VR just fine.

Depends on the VR application I guess? Generally on something even remotely demanding...no.

Why not just get a long hdmi and usb cable to use it in another room? 

 

Thanks for the suggestion. But the room I plan on using for room scale VR is upstairs. So I would need like a 30ft HDMI cable.

 

Might as well just save each month and buy a dedicated CPU and GPU if prices fall.

 

Thanks again

You can get adapters to run hdmi over cat5 and just use the wiring already in your walls.
