Hi I have a gtx 1070 and 6600K. I noticed lots of the newer rift s games recommended cpus had more threads and higher speeds. If I can overclock the 6600k will it be enough. I might upgrade to a 1080 soon. I'm wondering if I should upgrade to a 6700k or 7700k. What kind of resolution do you think I could run at 72 fps with my current set up? How much of a difference would an overclocked 6700k make? Thanks for any advice.
The processor is not usually the limiting factor for PCVR. Link in particular doesn’t add any significant CPU load, since the video compression/encoding is handled by the GPU, and the tracking is processed by the Quest. I think you should be fine with your current CPU.
Thanks for the reply. I just got a really good deal on a 1080 ti. I really want to max out the resolution on the quest. Do you think I'm still good with the 6600k or will it bottleneck the gpu much?
I upgraded my i5-6600k immediately to an i7-9700k after watching this video. Short answer it works but I do feel like it sometimes it throttles my 1080 TI on certain games.
