building a new pc for Vr advise needed

[Night0wl]

Msi b450 tomahawk max mobo

Amd ryzen 5 3600

Corsair vengeance 16gb ram (3200mhz)

Geforce gtx 1070 ti 8gb

 

Will this setup be able to cope with Vr well?

You can use Steam to test the PC, if it's already built, by running their Steam VR Performance test.  That will give you a fair notion of where it stands.

 

Also, VR Mark is available to test VR performance, as well.

 

Better to use standardized benchmarks than seat-of-the-pants guesses.

I would try and get a more powerful GPU, 1080 minimum for VR  That's what I  started with for VR and it worked well, I  know theirs not a massive difference between a 1070ti and a 1080 but you will need every little bit of that GPU power for VR.

If you are just building it, consider the RTX Super series. The RTX 2060 Super is faster than the 1080 and should be cheaper than the 1070 Ti.  Just don't fall into the trap of the RTX regular series (2060/2070). They were updated with the Super series (much better) and are cheaper.

+1 to this. The 1070ti is barely enough. 2060 Super or even 2070 Super would be a lot better. What headset are you going to use? They are all a bit different in what they require.

 

Try to get low latency RAM if you can (3200-CAS14) as IL2 likes this a lot.
