There is no doubt in my mind that many gamers have been waiting for this day for quite some time. Today marks the launch of Advanced Micro Devices’ (AMD) new Radeon RX 480 GPU, the company’s first VR-capable GPU that is sold for $199. This GPU is AMD’s first new major GPU architecture change in quite some time, and although it is still part of the GCN family of graphics chips, it does have a lot of new capabilities and improvements that make it a worthy successor. AMD is positioning the RX 480 as the best GPU for high quality VR enabling both Facebook’s Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive VR headsets at a price point that has never been seen before. Most GPUs that are labelled as VR Ready by AMD and NVIDIA were a good $100 or more than the RX 480 at launch.
