1080 or VR Headset?

[Loldielol]

Title says it all!

I'm getting a big back pay due to pay rise

So I'm now down to the decision in getting a GTX 1080 or a VR headset... I currently have a GTX 970 FYI.

1080 all day. (even tho its more expensive than my life)
I would only buy vr if you have 1060 or 1070 cause its not worth upgrading due to the price of the 1080 being so expensive, Instead I would wait till the price goes down but its up to you.

1080.
While VR has a few fun games, it's not worth buying right now.

I'd say 1080 even though the 970 is already a good GPU. While the VR headset is fun and something different you'd probably get bored after a while because of the limited games as of now.

Yeah, fair points lol I noticed a lot of games coming out lately require 1060 for recommened, so might just get that GPU xD

VR has a few decent titles worth looking into, but nothing long-term other than maybe DOOM VFR. Upgrading to a 1080 would be the wiser choice.

For sure 1080. Honestly, I would wait a bit more and gather up some more money and buy a 1080Ti, that way you're future-proofed for at least the next few years, and you're 110% VR ready.

i have a 1070 and it works just fine with my htc vive and i can run pretty much everything at 60fps ultra so save the money get a 1070 and a headset

Didn't even know of the Ti that was out xD I might just get that one lol, its a big back pay
Edit: fml just realised I might just have to get the original one, as I need to get another monitor again to make it 3 monitors >.< Currently have 2x DVI-D and 1x HDMI, the 1080 I was looking at had 1x DVI-D 1x HDMI and 2DP
