    Hey guys.

    I'm running a 980ti in my main PC and it can handle VR perfectly fine. But in my parents place 540 km away there is just an older graphics card in the desktop PC (same CPU though).
    Since my simvibe racing setup is still there i'd like to race (R3E, AC) a bit when i visit them from time to time. That means i need a graphic card that can handle Oculus Rift. So is a Radeon 480 (8GB) or Nvidia 1060 (6GB) enough to run it or do i need a Nvidia 1070 which is a bit faster than my 980ti?

    thx for your feedback!

    You should be fine with 480 or 1060. RX580 is now out, so unless you find a good deal for the 480, you may want to get the 580.
