since it's looking like we might actually have a job soon and thus have more money than we usually have available to us, does anyone here know much about what the best way to get VR going on a budget is? We want to get a valve index (which i know is far from the cheapest VR thingy out there, but we don't want to give money to facebook), but our current computer has a GTX 1060-6GB and we're led to believe that might not cut it for some VR stuff; what gpu is a good cost/performance balance?

we're probably going to not upgrade the gpu for a little while and focus on just getting the vr headset first, i'm sure we can do some stuff with what we have and it'll just be a bit lower quality and stuff. we're going to have *some* money, not a ridiculous amount of money
