AMD's RX 480 and Fury X are capable of providing decent performance in VR applications and will save you some money for the VR headset, dongles and games. However NVIDIA upped the ante today, giving away three games to anyone who purchases a GTX 1080, 1070 or 1060 and an HTC Vive.
The giveaway encompasses more than North America, as long as you can purchase the bundle from either Microsoft or NewEgg where you happen to live you should be able to get your three free games. They are redeemable on Steam and should be available immediately, a peek at Sports Bar VR is below.
Jeremy, you’re being too
Jeremy, you’re being too kind. AMD’s VR performance right now is anything but premium. It’s bad. You won’t save enough to even get a game with price difference between 1060 and rx 480. It’s maybe a tenner at retail price. Right now there still isn’t enough supply of 480 that they are still going for more than a 1060.
Of course if you are talking 1070 and 1080 then yes. However you’re getting a way better video card for VR or anything else for that matter than the 480 is capable of.
Other than that a good piece of work.
Wow, some deal. Free
Wow, some deal. Free games.
Get back to me when they’re doing deep discounts on the hardware itself.
You mean to tell me that I
You mean to tell me that I can get 3 crappy games for free, and all I have to do is spend over $1000? Wow! Sign me up!

VR software crap everywhere
VR software crap everywhere right now. Comparing VR performance is completely futile with the low quality content, or very short content available.
