Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades is a VR game built on Unity which features a "Authentic ‘Murican BBQ experience with obsessively detailed grilling simulation" as well as bocce, lawn darts and hand grenade skeet shooting. [H]ard|OCP tested out the Early Access version of this Vive title on their usual GPU suspects, it is worth mentioning the i7-6950X @ 4.2GHz as well since the developer feels that CPU could also be an issue. This title continued the unfortunate trend we have seen with AMD cards, RX 480 performance lagged behind even the GTX 1060 and there were several crashes during testing. For the moment NVIDIA is enjoying unchallenged status in VR gaming, lets hope AMD can find ways to improve their offerings to compete at a price to performance level in the near future.

"Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades is more of a firearms simulation than it is a game. H3VR certainly does have some gaming and scoring modes of play and the developer is has been very busy increasing the H3VR content depth. If you have never handled a rifle of pistol, H3VR can be somewhat daunting, but certainly rewarding."

AMD heavily marketed their 400 series GPU offerings as a low-cost VR GPU solution, but that sort of fell flat on it’s face, didn’t it?
Sort of sad.
Yes definitely. I notice the
Yes definitely. I notice the lack of AMD commenters in VR related content. They only want to comment in dx 12 which was designed for them or Vulkan. Can’t do too much in VR with 5 year old architecture design (GCN)and technologies (async).
AMD fanboys don’t worry AMD is working on another proprietary VR package after failed Liquid VR. AMD logo should be : If we can’t win in something we’ll design software we’ll definitely be better in.
VR…. maybe in a couple
VR…. maybe in a couple generations. Having tried a few VR games, they all look really primitive.
On another note, that website sure has gone down the drain though. Seriously.
