Is a GTX 1070 good for Valve index?

Is Valve VR worth?

The prices might be a bit high, but there’s definitely a lot of value and quality for the money. Certainly, this is more expensive than the Vive Cosmos and the Oculus Rift S, but it also seems to deliver even more immersion, so if you’ve got the rig and got the budget it looks like the Valve Index is worth it.

What is the difference between a 1070 and a 1070 TI?

The GTX 1070 Ti is based on the same GP104 GPU used in GTX 1070, but with a CUDA core count much closer to the GTX 1080—2,432 instead of 2,560. The GTX 1070 Ti isn’t a pumped-up GTX 1070; instead, it’s a cut-down GTX 1080, the key difference being the use of 8GB of standard GDRR5 memory instead of faster GDDR5X memory.

Is the GTX 1070 the best GPU for VR?

A few days ago we took a hands-on look at the beastly GTX 1080, but if you own a virtual reality headset and want the best balance between pricing and performance, the GTX 1070 is the current-gen sweet spot GPU. Note that we’re reviewing the GTX 1070 strictly from a VR experience standpoint, using the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

How does the GTX 1070 Founders Edition compare to other GPUs?

Switching from the $699 GTX 1080 Founders Edition to this $449 GTX 1070 Founders Edition (EVGA variant), most of the games in our VR library looked, more or less, exactly the same. And, compared to the entry-level VR gaming card we were using before that (GTX 970), both provide the same slight presence boost compared to that last-gen GPU.

How does the GTX 1070 compare to GTX 1080 for Tatooine?

In the ultra-short Trials on Tatooine, we had to go from “High” settings for the 1080 to “Medium” for the 1070 (the game suggested “High” for the 1070, but there was some slight judder). Here too, though, my experience and sense of immersion were more or less identical between the two cards, despite the lower settings.
