If we're lucky Witcher3 could get a VulkanAPI update in the future since it looks like most the Bethesda games will get it I don't see w3 devs excluding themselves.

PS. VulkanAPI runs 1:1 parity with windows under Wine, fyi.

Miracle, ironically if they switched their engine to Vulkan then they could spin a very effective linux port themselves rather then doing this slow outsourcing work thing which sees the Linux users unable to enjoy mods or multiplayer due to version mismatches!

NVIDIA releasing this sooner rather then later is likely a tactic to grab up some of that top-tier player money whom might have spent it with AMD and VEGA, but since AMD has decided to not talk about the actual hardware there is a good chance its barely faster then a 1080... I will be surprised if AMD can make VEGA on par with a 1080ti.

Ultimately it comes down to price really, hopefully they don't price the VEGA out of the market because we all know that new memory type is ultra-expensive!

Its in Valves and everyone's best interest to promote VR, including more hardware. The whole VR scene is already taken some SERIOUS blows this year with oculus and zenimax nonsense, good chance that platform dies out within a year! (because no one wants to pay 20% tax on their games and headsets in a walled garden scenario!)

unlikely, most early access releases have little idea of when the final build is done, that is even more true with a VR title.

Phoronix saw over double increase in Deus Ex frame rates on his rx470 test. Very nice indeed.

Its a good game, I have allot of the tanks and planes but was disappointed with mid tier Japanese editions (their BR is WAY too high for allot of them) so I have taken a LONG break from the game until I see some BR changes or something to that line up.

Most the Tier4 Japan tanks are a hilarious joke in a frustrating way, there is the bulldog and that small recoiless tank which are fun, but that's it!

Don't expect much performance from games that are not built for VR such as titles on the oculus store and such that say VR ONLY.

In saying that the Serious Sam VR game should be fine at 4k resolution I would think.. even thought the screen is 1200p, IMO you'd be better up-scaling to 1440p.

I dunno how elite performs at 4k but the Vive expects 90fps, so if you can't get that standard with the 1080gtx then yeah its a issue. Its not really designed around VR so I don't even know if it allows for the use of the Nvidia VR boosting tech.

I'm wondering what the 1700 is missing in comparison to the rest, I mean if there all vcore and multi unlocked then surely it be the best buy?
