To avoid issues with poor performance, you really need to shoot for a powerful graphics card that's up to the task of running modern AAA VR titles. Though it's hard to argue that any graphics card is too fast for VR, opting for a card like an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT or an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, at a minimum, is a good idea for high-end HMDs, even though their minimum GPU specs are much lower. If you've got more to spend, then there's no harm in going straight for some of the best cards on the market, like AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XT or Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4080 Super. (The RTX 4090 is awesomely fast, but awesomely expensive, too.) Both are extremely powerful, but that's the point. These will drive games in VR with ease and can run games at 1440p or 4K when you don't feel like playing in VR. If these high-enders are out of your price range, but you're still looking for something that's a step above the VR GPU baseline, the best middle-ground card is one based on the GeForce RTX 4060, or even the GeForce RTX 3060, if you can still find one on the market. You can always try to scrape by with lower-end cards, but this could leave you unable to run newer games at fast enough refresh rates for you to enjoy the experience. Depending on what games you intend to play, you certainly can do this. But if you're new to VR, which you likely are if you are here, it's best to aim for something like one of the cards we just mentioned to drive a high-quality experience and get the most out of your HMD, and your monitor, for when you're not in VR. (After all, no one can stay in there all the time.)
