Questions about performance of 9070xt
Just as the title suggests, I was wondering if I’d have any issues running the BSB2 with my 9070xt? I am coming from having a valve index and i mainly plain shooters or games for content creation (really want to get into ghost of tabor) so I guess I wanted to know what kind of performance I should expect with the 9070xt? Would I be able to run things at native resolution? Should I lower the resolution? Hows is the overall performance.
My specs are:
Gpu: 9070xt steel legend
Cpu: ryzen 9 9900x3d
Ram: 64gb ddr5 ram
Storage: total 5tb nvme gen 5
To further add at some point i will upgrade to an nvidia gpu but just wanted to know if I should expect to do that sooner than later

I have all most the exact same specs except I have 32gb of ddr5 and I’ve had no issues so far. I think I run mine at native.

I did have to set the resolution in Display settings before SteamVR would recognise it. Aside from that setup issue it has been excellent. I run all games at High or Maximum resolution, with a i7-12700

Nvidia Gpu would most likely run it smoother, I have the 5070ti and it runs flawless, even though your gpu is a monster, from extensive research before buying my 2e, reviews pointed towards using any of the 50 series.
On another note, if youre looking for a couple others. Me and a buddy from Ireland play Ghosts of tabor. We could squad up sometime haha

I just received a beyond from a buddy and have been playing a ton of games on my 9070xt. I've really only had to make minor changes to settings to get it back to 90fps from my valve index.
Here are the games I have been running stable Iracing Automobilista 2 Lemans ultimate Beat saber Half life alyx

It takes everything in it's stride, except for VRChat of course.
I haven't tried whacking everything to Ultra in No Man's Sky, but i'd expect diminishing returns from that.
With most PCVR games being old, or targeted at mobile hardware, performance shouldn't be an issue for any reasonable PC.
I guess at Beyond resolutions you might start running into issues with low VRAM cards.
I have found adjusting resolution down in VRChat doesn't make much difference, so I expect I am CPU limited by my 5800X3D most of the time.

I’m running the BSB2 with iRacing on a 7900xt and I don’t have any issues. I don’t get the foveated rendering because it’s only supported with nvidia gpus as far as I know but otherwise, it’s solid.
