I forgot to say: "Hey, HappyHimitsu!" Nice to see you back on the boards.

Anyway, I'd recommend staying with a single GPU card. Dual GPU is not worth it because of stutter and lag issues.

Thanks, between work and getting up to speed with UE4 I haven't had as much time to check out the forums lately.

I ended up going with the EVGA GTX 780 3gb Classified I found on sale on newegg for 540 bucks.
I should be able to make enough from my 580 to keep the difference around $220-230, which is a little more than what I was planning initially, but my Wife says it's fine so I'm good. :D
I'm hoping it will keep me going with the Rift for at least a year or two without having to dial things down too much.

So stoked!

With the oculus coming in july i'm looking for an upgrade of my gpu.

Possible problem is that my cpu will be a bottleneck. I want to buy a gtx 780 (upgrading from gtx 570)

I have an I5 750.
Will this cpu be to slow and if it is, what card could i buy so that the cpu wont slow it down?


This is all assuming my rig is to slow to use with the oculus and games on medium to high settings.

From what I've heard on various forums, any i5 will produce a bottleneck of varying degrees on a 780.
This is all based on reading anecdotal reports though. I haven't used intel for years so I really have no idea (although I do want to upgrade to an i7 sometime in the next year or so).
