Hey my pc currently has a Nvidia GeForce 1080ti. I have recently gotten very into VR games on my PC and wonder if I should upgrade to a newer model like the 2060 or 2070. Graphics mean a lot to me and my experience and wonder if it could be better Should I stay or should I upgrade? I also play normal PC games btw.

Hey ! Your GTX 1080TI have better performance than the RTX 2060 or RTX 2070. Just stick to it unless you have the cash to spend on a 2080 :)

Ye, just stick to that 1080 ti of yours. Even with a 2080, the performance boost is not that big and you will practically waste more money for a small bit of boost from that 1080ti.
