From NVIDIA themselves:
While the 1650 is cheap and good enough for battle royale, it won’t run virtual reality games very well. When I asked Aevermann about what VR performance is like on the 16-series GPUs, he recommended that people should stick with the 1660 Ti or higher.
“1650 is not VR ready. That’s really a performance statement — there’s nothing fundamentally blocking the GPU from playing content or anything like that. Maybe some lower-end or middle-end VR content will run just fine on the 1650,” he said. “But for how we guide gamers, 1660 Ti and above is really the minimum GPU [if] you want to play the latest VR content at high framerates without any kind of stuttering.”
For VR, wait for the $1K'ish RTX 3060 deal
Nice deal this one if you need a bit more power and if you get those 10% off vouchers even better!. I am still happy with the $698 HP Aero, but would have grabbed this instead perhaps if I had a need for a $100 voucher.
Hello, would anyone know how to get a 10% off voucher @boxall mentioned. And or the $100 voucher also mentioned.
Edit: i found a post for the BF 10% gift cards reward, now expired https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/740280
If any current discounts known, much appreciated if someone could share.
10% vouchers was Black Friday only. The $100 was taking into account the 10%.
If i am not mistaken, it seems there is now a price match? By Bing Lee for the same item
