A GPU that can double outperform a GTX 1060

[Lycaone]

Hey there, i'm looking for a GPU (or more if necessary) that can play VR, but for 2 people (me and my brother) in 1 rig, cause of space issues.

So i was thinking that in order to play VR (solo) you need, at least, a GTX 1060,so a graphics card that has double the performance of a 1060 will do the trick 😉

Which GPU/GPUs should we get ???

Thanks

Multi-player VR on a single PC is not currently possible. Also even the fastest video card (a 1080ti) would not have enough horsepower for this. And your assumption that a 1060 is capable of VR is not correct. For VR you really need at least a 1080 for a single player.

You can use a hypervisor to pass through hardware to multiple virtualized operating systems.

And a GTX 1060 is easily capable of VR for a single user. Splitting a GTX 1080 Ti to two users wouldn't be straightforward, but the raw performance would otherwise be sufficient for 2 people running VR. But it would be a better idea to simply have two separate cards (1060s for example) and just pass through one to each user.

Whether this setup would work with all the special tricks that go into VR I can't say for sure.

It doesn't work well for gaming, as I said, Vr is just a monitor, so if you can play 2 games similtaiously using both GPU's separately with 2 different sets of inputs on 1 copy of a OS, then there is a chance. Odd's are, it won't work.
