Yeah I do need to keep that in mind to.  I have oculus right now, but don't develop for it too much as of now.

Quote from: nnodley on Jul 08, 2016, 02:22 AMYeah at this point I'm leaning towards 1060 or the 480 from AMD as they will give a considerable bump in power for working with higher res textures and more geometry and better effects at an amazing price.  Right now I can run a full populated jungle(without fine-tuned LOD's) with fully dynamic shadows at 30fps at 1080p on the 680.  The 1060 plus a much better CPU should get me up past 60fps. But I'm not gonna not consider a 1070 as I would like to go to 4k at some point.
If you wait another year the technology is already going to have improved so much a 1070 may seem inadequate compared to maybe the 1170. However if you were going for 4k rather soon I would definitely shoot for the 1070.

1080ti shpuld run 4k 60 or really close to it.
It would be super nice to get some really clean images out of my environments to show off on my website by doing 4k easily.  I always do high res screenshots at 2k out of unreal as those are pretty quick, but rendering a video at 4k would be amazing to be able to do easily.

mVidia doesn't give any chance to AMD RX 480. Funny that the AIB 1060 will launch before AIX 480.

Can't you run it at 10 fps and set timescale to 1/3rd? Then just speed up the recorded video to 30 fps.

That's a trick console devs use  ::)

I'm probably going to pick up the 1070 some time this year. I was thinking about the 1080 but I think that's a bit much considering I don't have a 4K monitor and I'm probably going to do a full motherboard swap in a couple years.
