A card for VR

Can any of you suggest a graphics card for VR. Is for a build I'm doing for my cadet squadron and they want flight sims. They originally wanted to run VR on a GTX 660 2gb....yes I'm not joking I eventually convinced them they need a new card. I've been looking at the RX400 series as well as the 1060s but I'd like to get a better idea of how the cards performance is so any benchmarking for VR would be fab. Budget is around £350

Thanks in advance

Get the best you can fit into your budget. I don't know the exact prices, but get the 1060 6gb if you can and if you can't, buy the rx 480 4gb.

Go for RX 480 8GB. VR Benchmarking is not a thing (See below video). It's mostly just taking people's words for it.

 

 

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.
