hi guys, im about to buy a new gpu, and i want to buy an oculus and play VR games in the future.
Would the 470 nitro be able to run vr games?
As long as i can play VR games in high/medium settings, it would be good enough.
Ive been checking some benchmarks, and the 470 nitro comes pretty close to a stock 480 in fps.
Also, i havent been able to find a decent review for the Asus dual RX 480 4gb... would you guys recommend it? or... the 480 would cause a bottleneck for my pc?
My system is:
i5 4460
2 sticks of DDR3 ram, 4 gb each
1 ssd
1 hdd
1 dvd drive
4 fans
PSU: cooler master extreme power plus 500 watts
ty for the help
 


ty for the help dude.
One question.
Taking in count the PSU, would the 470 nitro be a better choice?
I havent been able to find any video or page describing VR gaming with a 470 though D:
ANd.... would the CM 500 watts PSU be good for the 470?
