i use a titan xp

2019-09-13 18:02:22 UTC  

And half the cost too

2019-09-13 18:02:35 UTC  

I prefered the Oculus S for not having to deal with all the fucking camera sensors

2019-09-13 18:02:38 UTC  

waiting for that intel 10nm

2019-09-13 18:02:40 UTC  

I had first gen titan (900 series) and the thing broke last week, so I Decided to upgrade now

2019-09-13 18:02:42 UTC  

I just went up from a 1060 3GB to a 1660 to get up to snuff for VR

2019-09-13 18:03:00 UTC  

wouldnt a used 1070 be smarter

2019-09-13 18:03:02 UTC  

Nice its the sweet spot for VR

2019-09-13 18:03:05 UTC  

I definitely was hugely attracted to the inside-out headtracking

2019-09-13 18:03:08 UTC  

a 1070 is like twice the perf compared to 160

2019-09-13 18:03:08 UTC  

I'm on a 2070

2019-09-13 18:03:39 UTC  

Im not upgrading the motherboard though, its not expensive, I just cba lul

2019-09-13 18:03:46 UTC  

Yeah I couldn't justify the cost to go any higher since by all accounts (and now having had it for 2 weeks) the 1660 is great for 90% of VR applications

2019-09-13 18:03:49 UTC  

I'll upgrade it when I get a ryzen CPU lol

2019-09-13 18:03:54 UTC  

God, upgrading bones is my nightmare

2019-09-13 18:04:00 UTC  

dont buy ryzen

2019-09-13 18:04:05 UTC  

intel is better for gaming at all price points

2019-09-13 18:04:20 UTC  

Ryzen is cheap as fuck

2019-09-13 18:04:24 UTC  

I thought I was SOL cuz the Rift S doesn't work with ASmedia USB 3.0 ports, and of course I have an ASmedia mainboard

2019-09-13 18:04:36 UTC  

My Ryzen does me good no point in upgrading

2019-09-13 18:04:42 UTC  

I have an i7 5th gen atm

2019-09-13 18:04:49 UTC  

that single core performance on ryzen is laughable

2019-09-13 18:04:58 UTC  

Yeah I had that issue at first I had to use my case USBs

2019-09-13 18:05:20 UTC  

Ended up just buying a PCI USB 3.1 card for like $30 at my local Fry's

2019-09-13 18:05:59 UTC  

SSee my motherboard is like first gen x99, but its still good for now 🤔

2019-09-13 18:06:18 UTC  

I want to get a new one eventually for the 2 m.2 slots for SSD sticks tbh

2019-09-13 18:06:58 UTC  

I'm lucky enough to work in a place where I'm 3rd in the pecking order for who gets the old hardware, and the two people above me are gen x'ers who don't want to work on hardware

2019-09-13 18:07:02 UTC  

The S is great because you can set it to camera mode and see your surroundings with the headset on

2019-09-13 18:07:32 UTC  

So I ended up lucking into a seriously nice former-server rig that I just had to drop new storage and a GPU into

2019-09-13 18:07:44 UTC  

Nice always good to get tech handmedowns

2019-09-13 18:08:18 UTC  

replaced the PSU too cuz it was cheap and dying but I'm still running an FX 8350 8 core @ 4.3

2019-09-13 18:08:30 UTC  

And 32GB of RAM cuz server ^_^

2019-09-13 18:08:38 UTC  

Once the ram turns up tomorrow <:Snakegasm:533665229280903196>

2019-09-13 18:08:40 UTC  

Also dude yes, passthrough is awesome

2019-09-13 18:08:49 UTC  

32GB homies ❤

2019-09-13 18:09:23 UTC  

FX 8350 😄 they still exist? haha

2019-09-13 18:09:38 UTC  

lol right? I have some issues every now and then but she still runs like a fucking champ

2019-09-13 18:09:50 UTC  

I know it's gonna be my bottleneck in the next couple years

2019-09-13 18:10:10 UTC  

Yeah should be alright for another year or so. Ryzen is cheap as fuck though so upgrading wont be too much hassle for you

2019-09-13 18:10:26 UTC  

FC5 had an update early this year that makes my entire system tank to black, not even BSOD. Just dumps power entirely and hard shutdown.

2019-09-13 18:10:44 UTC  

😂 I remember those day s
