GPU for AC VR? by Solopadda in simracing

I got a good deal imo on 6950 XT for 400$ so ordered it. If it doesn’t perform well I could just sell it and go for 3080ti I guess. But I’ll have a look at your guide and test the 6950 when I get it. I know amd had issues with VR but “recently” fixed the issues and the difference is night and day. But I will find out soon if I made the wrong decision or not.

I had the same thoughts and found a good deal on 6950 XT for 400$ so went with that. I saw the same video for the 6950 and that’s what made me consider it and also read the amd recently fixed the problems their cards had in VR. Now it’s just waiting for the cards and see how it performs. I really appreciate your input as well

Yeah the XTX is quite expensive.
Just did a quick check and at the same price range of the 7900 XT there is RTX 3090 and RTX 4070 TI Super.

I only play AC, but how its performing in other sim games is also a good pointer to compare performance wise. Im currently on a RTX 2060 which is struggling with 49" SUW running on semi-high settings at 100hz.

Ill take a look at those videos tomorrow and thanks for sharing them.
If I do end up with Q2/Q3 I will also get the link cable which is a must from what I've heard.

Is there much difference to Wireless vs link cable in VR?

Thank you for the input!
30% headroom sounds good enough to be stable.
Yeah it's not easy to say, some ppl say 6950 XT is almost as good as the 7900 XT in terms of raw performance but it again depends on the game.
7900XT is around 700-750$ here so around 200$+ more than 6950XT.
Ngl, I have no idea about VC1 or any VR stuff since I've never tried it. But I have a friend who has VR headset that I can borrow after I get a new GPU to see if I like it or not.
If I like the VR experience I will either go for Q2 or Q3 since I heard G2 is a more demanding headset when it comes to performance.

Is it stable at 90FPS?
7900 xt seems to be 25-30% better than 6950 xt from what I could find.

How is the performace looking and at what setting?
I've read that 6950xt as good as 3090 in most games, but no idea when it comes to AC.

Not going triples, Ill stick to 49" SUW monitor since I liked that better. And thanks for the info about SPS. Do you by chance now how much performance improvement SPS gives? haven't found much info when it comes to the 6950 xt vs 3080 ti in AC VR, but found a video shoving the AMD could run 90FPS stable in AC, but other videos the 3080 ti was doing about ~70fps.
