    So are you boys going for these SuperMegaOC cards/room heaters purely for VR?

     

    Yes mate. I've been VR for over two years now, and the only thing I miss from pancake is the fidelity.

    The immersion, even on a 1080 and Rift CV1 was a game changer, for me. Appreciate it's not for everyone.

    Thankfully, DCS performs spectacularly in pancake on NON-SuperMegaOC cards/room heaters. 😁

    Indeed Col. It's one game I definitely don't want to play.

    They say buy the best card you can afford, but even now I'm finally in the position after a couple of years saving etc. to get the top card, the principle of it feels all wrong.

    I suppose it boils down to measuring value in these things rather than just raw cost. And that's a personal thing. I then reflect, that despite suffering with stuttering, low resolution and rapid filling of VRAM for the last couple of years, I still bloody love flying DCS in VR right now. So, the improvement I'll see with a 4070Ti SUPER & a Quest 3 would surely be worth it.

    Damn DCS, why can't I be into Minecraft.

    Oh I don't know now; reading a lot on the OC forums, I'm now leaning back towards a 4070Ti SUPER.
    I could stretch to a 4090, but I can also think of plenty of other things to spend the difference on. It would still be a tangible jump for me from a 1080.

    Perhaps, sit at a 4070Ti SUPER until the 5090 comes out next year 😁

    Hmmm, I'm reconsidering.

    Plenty of comments on the Overclockers forum suggesting the 4080 SUPER is only 1-3% performance gain over the 4080.
    Asus TUF 4080 Super going here for £1,200 ish, so I'm now sorely tempted to bite the bullet and just go for one of the Gainward or Palit 4090s which are only £400 more.

    Haha, listen to this madness!

    Holy thread resurrection Batman!

    I'm close to (finally) pulling the trigger on a new graphics card and a Quest 3.

    Currently eagerly awaiting the release of the 4080 SUPER - any minute now, right - which after some consideration is probably the card of choice for me.

    Or, do I just bite the bullet and get a 4090 that'll see me for a number of years... 🤔 I can hear @fruitbat whispering "do it, doooooo iiiiiiiit"

    @wingflyr where are you on this now? Did you say you were holding out for the 4080 SUPER?
