From my experience VRAM is important especially if you ever plan to use vegetation which without a proxy system will eat your VRAM fast, so my advice is to go for the most you can afford.
@enscape team: I definately want to move in my projects with a Oculus of Vive (with is the best for now?), I will buy my Alienware for at least for a couple of years and in the meantime there will be updates from Oculus and Vive I guess wich will affect the hardwaredemands, can you say something about that issue in choosing between cards
But wait! - Nvidia just announced the new Titan XP today, meaning the 1080ti’s reign has been short lived. It costs twice as much though and is unlikely to be offered in a laptop.
Yeah there will be new better tech all over again, but you cannot buy a 1080 Ti in a laptop right now neither a Titan X.
So @RemcoNL_1 I’ll stay with my advice but if you can wait longer and the 1080 Ti gets available in Laptops, maybe in 2 months from now, I would hit that one.
Yes tnx, Jonathan and others, yesterday I ordered the Alienware with 1070, cause the 1080 and Ti (later) will cost me a bit too much… I guess I can get along for a time for now, and: next week we are going to order a floating license!! YEAH
So the next step will be a choice between the Oculus or the Vive → I need:
roomscale experience, with moving in a square 4x4m
At the moment I would recommend you the Oculus Rift cause we haven’t implemented the positioning system of the HTC Vive completely so far as mentioned above.
