Question Upgrade advice for better VR performance ?

[Bastian Hidalgo]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to upgrade my PC for a better PCVR experience, i currently use the Quest 2 with a cable or sometimes airlink.

My system specs are:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
Ram: 16gb 3200mhz
GPU: Gtx 1070ti

i've been playing a lot of vr games lately and the performance is fairly good but sometimes i get some stuttering that gets distracting or it even ruins the experience.
Should i prioritize upgrading the processor or the Gpu? i want to make the most cost-effective choice for a smoother experience since i have a limited budget.

Would it be better to upgrade to something like a RTX 3060/4060 or is the 1070ti capable enough for VR and i just need a better processor to get rid of the stuttering?

Your insights and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

VR is pretty demanding on GPU so your GPU should be more important. Having said that, that 2600 is pretty dated by now and upgrading to one of the latest AM4 5xxx chips might be helpful on the same platform since MA4 gives you that flexibility.
