Nvidia & AMD's New Graphics Cards Are Set To Push PC VR Forward
At CES 2025, Nvidia and AMD unveiled their latest PC graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 50 series and Radeon RX 9070 series, respectively. Both series offer moderate performance upgrades with significant improvements in neural upscaling, neural frame generation, and ray tracing. Nvidia introduced the RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, 5080, and 5090 models, featuring their new Blackwell GPU architecture and GDDR7 VRAM for enhanced memory bandwidth. Key features include fourth-generation RT Cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores, supporting DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. However, this tech leads to increased latency in VR compared to VR-specific methods.
AMD's RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, based on RDNA 4 architecture with a 4nm process, are designed to compete with Nvidia's RTX 5070, offering 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM and second-generation AI accelerators for FidelityFX Super Resolution 4. Pricing and release dates for AMD's cards remain undisclosed, except for a Q1 2025 timeline.
While PC VR users enjoy simple, popular games like Beat Saber, the real strength lies in its ability to handle complex simulations and AAA VR titles. Even powerful cards like the RTX 4090 struggle with these high-demand applications at ideal settings. For the full story, visit UploadVR.
