Intel or AMD for VR setup

[yoyDIY]

Hi guyts

 

I would like to get some recommendations on what would be preferred for an ideal VR setup, AMD or Intel?

I'm looking at AMD's Ryzen 5 or 7 series (3rd Gen), or and Intel i5 8th or 9th Gen. What would you guys recommend

CPU it doesnt matter both are way fast enough...most VR games aren't CPU intensive and you'll run out of GPU in no time flat so get the cheaper option when it comes to CPU and get the best graphics card you can afford.

The current gen i5s are really bad purchases at the moment, so my pick would definitely be Ryzen 3000 (a 3600 will be more than enough for VR).

I would recommend any cpu that won’t bottleneck your gpu, and personally I would go for ryzen 7 or i7 if you need Intel for a specific reason

I have a Ryzen 3700X for my build, but like others have said, VR is more reliant on GPU than CPU.

ryzen 3600 should do it
