Hey Guys What would I need for a VR computer getting above 90 fps on two 1200x1080 displays (The HTC vive)

i'm on a under 2k budget but it needs to be in aud

i think its not Dual 1200x1080 Monitor on a Single VR,  i7-4790 + 980 + 8GB + 512GB SSD

pretty sure its higher res than this, pretty sure its higher than 1080p so you need more gpu power

980Ti / 390X ?

980Ti / 390X ?

I think I might go with a 390x

Nvidia recommends minimum a GTX980.

 

But for 2k you can go with GTX980Ti / Furry X, or GTX 980 SLI / 390x CF as well.

A good quadcore is also sufficient.

 

EDIT: Your prices looks higher than expected. 980 SLI is not an option.

Yeah more VRAM more Res

I'd recommend either a 980ti, or crossfire r9 390s - the 390s will give you more performance, but not all games support crossfire and there are a few stability issues you may come across with that solution, not to mention the extra heat and power consumption. No need to bother with 390Xs, at that resolution 390s will be plenty.

is a single 390x an option i'm sorta looking to go with a mini itx but i think i can do a micro and sli/cf

i'm leaning towards an amd but nvidia has the thing where you can do 1 gpu for each screen

 

Please Help

yeah i'm worried about the heat but i think most fps have cf support

Yeah, most AAAs have cf support, it's the indies I'd be worried about. As for the heat, it won't be damaging your components, but in summer your legs might get a bit sweaty... and that's about it. It's not a huge deal, just something you need to be aware of.

I'm pretty sure AMD will also have a CF support for VR.

Also an mATX board gives you much more features at the same price than mITX usually.

A single 380X and a GTX980Ti produces about the same heat.

CF/SLI on the other hand doubles the heat output obviousely

Thanks a lot Sauron (My Great Master) and Stefan (The Fan Less)

I will go with cf r9 390x 

 

Kind Regards
