I’m upgrading from an older GTX 1080 rig that is honestly still usable, but there have been a few newer titles here and there that I’ve been putting off playing.
What are some beautiful and demanding hardware wise games you guys would recommend? Bonus points for underrated games or hidden gems.
If you went high tier, did you leave enough coin for a Quest 2 headset? With a cheap, dedicated router you can stream wirelessly and the experience is mind blowing. Games like HL:Alyx are ridiculous; I just wish there were more native ports to VR.
I was at one point really excited about VR (2016/2017) and actually built this rig I have right now in big part for it, but ended up returning an Oculus Rift after my very disappointing experience with it. And other than HL: Alyx, Beat Saber and a couple other titles, there don’t really seem to be many really captivating titles that justify the cost and space requirements for a proper VR setup. I’m open to maybe getting a VR headset in the future if something compelling comes along, but a Quest ain’t it. Thanks for the recommendation though, I hear HL: Alyx is fantastic.

No, I won’t ever buy a Meta/Facebook product.
