Nvidia and intel are garbage, their the apple of tech componets. Get a used Vega 56, best deal on the market.

given Oculus are oft compared to the Apple of the VR market it is interesting that you choose to support oculus then.Nvidia love them or hate them make the best gaming gpus on the market today. this is an objective fact (sadly). My hope is navi 20 will change this but I am not holding my breath. I have heard all the positive spin from AMD before WRT their gpus but the reality is AMD do not even have a gpu to better a 1080ti at the moment and that is early 2017 nvidia.

if you want to play games like pCARS2 and get a decent experience a GTX980 / GTX 1070 / any turing card should be fine (sorry I do not know how AMD are with VR)if however you want to run pCARS2 at full bubble in VR and not rely on ASW that is a totally different ball game....... I would guess you are looking at a 1080ti or RTX 2080 for that.

Well not 100% true - but I do mostly agree. Current AMD cards can compete up to a 2080 for half the price. The problem is they don't support the new features such as RT or VRS that we need for VR. Granted, these are not added yet, mainly do to time and AMD not supporting it, getting a 20s card will grant you at least a few more years for when they do start supporting it. In the mean time, if you are looking for something like a cheap rig to start getting into VR - AMD does do a slight better job here in terms of latency that does result in a smoother game play along with less game breaking patches. NV is still price really high - so unless you have a little extra money to spend - value to performance AMD still comes in. Granted, if you want the best of the best - then NV has your back though even if its only maybe 10 fps higher while costing another 20-25% more.
AMD is behind - so while you are buying a AMD card that could meet up to a 2080 - remember it just release these cards and NV about to release new cards that beats that by Q1 of next year with AMD not releasing a new group until Q3-4. A bit of a leap frog - but the difference is that is AMD highest end card already on a new node. NV will be releasing their new cards on the same new node next meaning we should see some big performance gains or cost gains again.
Intel is now in the same boat with Ryzen 3s costing half of what Intel does for with in the same FPS in games and 10% in benchmarks. If you need that extra little bit then Intel is still the king - but over all - most people could get by now using Ryzen 3s and not even know the difference other than cost.
Over all - if you can wait - I say get the NV next line up of cards as it'll support all the new features and improve on the current ones by - well - a lot. On the other hand, if you want a PC now on a budget - get an AMD system. Sure you will need to upgrade the GPU next year - but least you will have something "now" to carry you over until then. If not on a budget, then get NV card instead or hybrid AMD cpu/NV Gpu for both a performance and cost saving feature. Over all - what is consider the "best" really just comes down to how big is your wallet 😛

AMD's working on their own ray tracing and variable rate shading for foveated rendering. Word is, Navi cards will have ray tracing by December...the drivers have had the code since July, and they're currently working on the variable rate shading.
