AMD is looking to release a graphics card capable of handling VR at a price well under the accepted rate.
According to Engadget, the Radeon RX480 will cost $199 and is based on AMD's new Polaris architecture. It is capable of over 5 TFLOPS of computing power, compared to the 6 TFLOPS of Nvidia's recently announced GTX 1070, which costs $380.
There will be 4GB and 8GB versions available, and the RX480 will run 2000MHz GDDR5 memory, much like the GTX 1070.
AMD's performance tests have shown using two RX480s manages to beat out Nvidia's new monster GTX 1080 while running Ashes of the Singularity.
It will be coming out on June 29, and looks set to become the best value-for-money card by far, even with Nvidia's recent price drops of its existing cards such as the GTX 970.
If you're going to upgrade your PC for virtual reality, these are the HTC Vive games worth checking out right now.
