    WTF Nvidia, no GeForce pascal card announcements? :-(

  • Mario Baldi

    This was sooo boring :D
    The way I saw it: “This is xyz hardware, is faster, better, revolutionary”.
    Surely the Pascal chipset is a big innovation, but I couldn’t see any real added value to VR.

      Nvidia are working on an amazing VR system. Regarding the new gpu: any increase in perfomance benefits VR.
