    Great video! After watching your 4070ti review I had purchased the 4070ti Super and it's been perfect so far! You're the only one testing a lot of these GPUs in VR and it's honestly an amazing service to the community.

    Another great review! it's always interesting to see these VR AMD reviews especially because you're basically the only one out there making them. Also I'm glad they improved the drivers so much to the point that it was plug-n-play for you, after all the headaches we went through when the 7000 series came out it's awesome they finally overcame them. Hopefully they can get it right too for the 8000 series right from the get-go.

    I have this exact GPU that you tested and I can confidently say that it's really nice to use. AMD needs to get in the spotlight when it comes to "affordable gaming". All this makes me excited for the 8000 series that will be out later in 2025. I can't wait to see how AMD performs. Thumbs up for your video and can't wait to hear your opinion on RDNA 4 GPU's.

    4:04 this is exactly why I much prefer using virtual desktop or even steam link
    Idk what happens inside the spaghetti code of oculus, but the app loves to take about 3x more encoding resources than virtual desktop, so if you're on something like a 2070 or below, using oculus is basically not an option, you won't get 120hz on the video stream unless you tune the res down
    This is also why if someone wants to stream or record long sessions, I can't recommend oculus as it'll struggle to keep the encoder framerate while also sharing resources with OBS
    But I will admit the graphs of the quest app are much better for measuring performance, been a while since one of these has came out so really glad to see them

      I thought the Quest 3 is a standalone headset, unlike something like the Valve Index, which is hooked to a PC.
      Are virtual desktop and steam link things to play PCVR wirelessly on the Quest 3, or how does this work?

      @derkevevin The quest 3 can connect to a PC and play SteamVR games, you can go wirelessly with virtual desktop (paid app but it's by far the best), steam link or the official oculus app
      You can also connect via USB cable for minimum latency with the official oculus app

      it's official that AMD is not making higher tier GPUs, they are only making up to 8800 XT which is limited to 256-bit bus and lower VRAM and monolithic design. Once that was official it was no brainer for me to pickup the 7900 XT or XTX since they run 320-bit bus and higher VRAM which helps dramatically for the 4k and VR games I play.

      There are no problems with H.264 on AMD GPUs and in fact it works better for me than H.265 since you can use a higher bitrate, it's only when you compare its hardware encoder to nvidia's that you notice that it has lower quality at the same bitrate, but I did notice that for the 7000 series they improved it and I see no difference compared to the 4000 series anymore except at very low bitrates of less than ~10Mbps, it's the same thing with H.265.

    • @GUCFan

    What you are not considering about the GRE is that it is artificially power limited due to being a Chinese market card. You can overclock it and gain way more performance. It's on you to do this. The specs are there, it's just artificially limited for US sanctions. Once you realize this, you should understand it's worth MORE than the paltry premium AMD asks for it, and it outperforms everything in it's price class.

    • @Maraksot78
      @Maraksot78  3 месяца назад +2

      I typically do all my GPU testing with out of the box settings as that's what I feel the majority of people will do as many people are not comfortable doing any kind of over clocking. There are of course the enthusiasts out there that will do that and my understanding is it's overclocking the memory on these GPU's that can increase the performance quite a bit, especially at higher resolutions like 4K. This should also benefit VR performance as we're usually running at resolutions well above 4K in VR. I am planning to do a follow-up video to this one where I overclock the memory and show how much of a performance uplift it provides, so stay tuned.

In your opinion, does Nvidia encoders really make a difference? The pricing is steering me away from Nvidia since prices outside the US are outrageous.

      When the Radeon 7000 series first launched, and for a LONG time after, their drivers didn't handle VR all that well, but it seems they've pretty much got that all sorted out and fixed now, so I feel AMD is a much more viable option for VR now. Also with the drivers and stuff where they're at now I don't feel like there's much of a difference anymore between using h.264, h.265 or (if you have a Quest 3) even using AV1 with Virtual Desktop. I don't think Quest Link allows you to use AV1 yet.

    After using a 6700XT for 2 years, I recommend choosing Nvidia for VR.
    1. Nvidia cards have NVENC, which generally offers better image quality and performance for VR applications
    2. Although I haven't had issues with AMD drivers before, I've encountered problems with VR. For example, Virtual Desktop, a PCVR app, frequently warns me about buggy drivers and suggests downgrading to version 23.12.1. These driver issues have persisted for almost a year and still haven't been fixed. Additionally, airlink and ALVR had specific problems that were hard to identify. In retrospect, choosing a 3060Ti would have spared me a lot of trouble with diagnosing these issues.
    3. Apps that helps customizing VR experience like VRPerfkit have some options only available to Nvidia cards

    No one is doing that, and since you are the only one that tests this for us, since no one do it. It would be nice for you to do it too.
