Can i run Vr?

[Randomismo]

Ok, so my setup is kinda retarded, but bare with me. So I have a Asus GTX 1050 ti 4gb Strix OC with i7 8700k. I also have one of the top best power supplies out there. So I was wondering if I can run vr, specifically HTC Vive. I will upgrade my gpu in the future so no worries about that. What’s your ideas on this?

Btw, no I don’t have intentions on buying the oculus.

Currently, not at all. Or at least not at a frame rate that wouldnt make you vomit

you should be able to. i do know that there are some free tests out there that you could use to test your rig to see what settings that you would be able to play at.  i beleve that steam and superpostion both have free programs

LTT did a test with the 1050 ti, it was awful. stepping up to the 1060 3gb basically solved the issue.

See their "VR on a budget" video

server lag, duped post

Nope. Why do you even have an 8700k with a 1050 Ti?

You will be able to. But until you get a better GPU you will definitely suffer motion sickness. That is why companies dont recommend the 1050ti as a VR GPU.

I will straight up tell you that even with a 1070 I found myself wanting more in VR ...too many stutters and too often making things look like a potato to run, add in some blurry visuals with a lack of being able to supersample and I went all the way to a 2080ti

I get asked 'can I run VR' a fair bit in real life - entry point IMO for a sensible entry level of performance across all the available applications (with a few exceptions) would be intel i5, 16gb ram, 1060 6gb and SSD.

I don't have AMD experience, and only say this in relation to Vive VR.

This build or higher has proven to work well, all things considered.

Won't even be able to launch Fallout 4 VR  (with the current GPU). But my main question is why do you even have an 8700K with a 1050Ti in the first place?

I only got the 1050 ti and i7 8700k because everything was sold out except that. It was on christmas. I regret but it is what it is.

Btw, I only want to play vr game like google doodle and beat saber. No plans for anything else

understood, but the best laid plans and all that....................

Use the steam VR test and post your results here, will be interesting to see.

[Randomismo]

Alright, so I did the test, this is what it gave me for anyone interested. I'm quite surprised tho

[XDXD_4U3IF1P]

Yes not a bad result.

You will find, if you go Vive (for sure) that you will struggle in more demanding VR titles and you will want to change your GPU.

But if you have tried VR already and really enjoyed it, then go for it!

I am fascinated by VR, whilst I don't use it much, when I do it blows me away and is a real fun thing for the family and friends.
