Another data point: I got into VR with a GTX 1070. It ran games made for VR (half life alyx, VTOL vr, skyrim vr, beat saber, pistol whip) at 120hz full resolution with minimal issues - but games not well optimized for it (ie DCS) were basically unplayable even at the lowest settings.
I have since upgraded, but even the hot shit card I bought specifically for VR sucks at running anything not specifically made for it :agony-shivering: . If I had known what I know now I would have kept the graphics card the same and just gotten a new motherboard + more RAM.
btw, Alyx was kinda mid. Like it's not bad, but I've had a lot more fun with custom content in pavlov or VRChat.
It came around at a time that VR controls weren't quite standardized so switching guns and fire modes isn't intuitive, guns stick to your hand, you can't switch hands, and their actions are weird, grenades never go where you throw them (this is somewhat remedied by carrying around a bucket full of grenades, health, ammo, and vodka).
Also, IDK if it's just me, but HL games have a weird sense of loneliness and isolation.
At mostly max settings, Alyx ran 90hz smoothly, except in The Quarantine Zone and a few other spots.
It runs PavlovVR fine, Beat Saber is fine except for a few absurdly detailed custom maps, VRChat is as reliable as it is in flatscreen, SkyrimVR and FO4VR are a crapshoot, VR modded RE2/3/7/8 are mostly good, VR modded Alien Isolation ran solidly.
For the life of me, I can't find a way to watch a 3d movie in VR that doesn't look like garbage.
My 1060TI ran VR at reduced resolution for years. I actually ended up getting motion sickness for awhile when I switched to a 3070 and 2160x2160x2
