Thanks Benjamin, that really helps make my choice! Between the 1070 and 1080, there's still the price difference and the lab doesn't want to purchase a used card, so I'll push for it, hopefully I get the 1080 Ti.

Hi guys,

My second post here on the forum and I'm hoping that it stays relevant to this sub topic.


My PC configuration (with Oculus Rift) will be (purchase will be made in january 2019):
- HP workstation G4 V4
- Core : 7th gen intel i9 processor running @ 3.3 GHz
- 8 DIMM slots
- RAM : 16 gb for the first year
- Disk space: 2 TB Segate solid state hard drive
Nvidia GTX 1070 or P4000 Quaddro (still undecided as P4000 might have specific drivers that enable LFS to work better as a simulator in our lab)
- 3 monitors (NEC 50inch) linked side-side

@ Bator, how is your Gaming PC style B working out so far with the Oculus Rift? Any particulars to report regarding frame rate and motion sickness, if any?

Thanks!

Hi team,

I'm replying here in search of answers or advice.
I have purchased the Oculus Rift set with extra sensors. I'm in the process of upgrading my PC hardware to use the Rift. I am currently comparing two graphics cards, both from Nvidia - GTX 1070 and Quadro P4000. The Quadro P4000 has disadvantages in such that it is more expensive and doesn't offer the same level of performance as the 1070. However, the P4000 has dedicated drivers that augment performance for specific software used professionally. In my case, I am using the VR to add to my motorcycle simulator which I'm running with a version of LFS.
What I'd like to know from you is whether this P4000 card does have specific drivers that make LFS better perform, compared with the GTX 1070 card. I intend to keep this simulator and VR functional and relevant over the next 4 years.
Thank you in advance and I apologize for hikacking the forum in advance. I did not find any other sub topics on the forum (in the last 8 months) where people discussed graphics cards.
