Thanks for the reply. I know that the main focus of the game is to cater to the VR users, and I appreciate that. I was just curious if I missed something. If I had the disposable income to shell out on a VR setup, my questions would probably be more interesting. But I very much like the game, in the state my hardware can run. I also do not have the desire to spring for a liquid-cooled custom gaming-only machine. In any event, thanks for replying.
"liquid-cooled custom gaming-only machine" imma say u have wierd understanding of PC hardware
Custom, or really any form of liquid cooling is unnecessary most of the times. Like, you can do it, but you either have lots of money to flex with a cool looking PC, or lots of money to buy power hungry, high performance hardware that demands it and would melt and boil without it.
Heat isn't that hardware demanding, really you can play as low as on gtx 750ti and i3 10100f, but sacrifices have to be made, namely potato graphics in-game and ~900p resolution scale in steamVR. Also 750ti is an old gpu, so in some games UI is all wonky, others may randomly crash or not run at all.
However, it'll be a relatively cheap PC build and good enough for it's price, especially if u also buy a used cpu and/or motherboard. Just make sure you buy hardware from well-known brands, like MSI, Asus, Gigabyte etc. and not suspiciosly cheap HW from random chinese manufacturers, or you risk ending up with an unreliable "thing" with PCB made out of cardboard and ramen, and refurbished components from other, broken hardware.
RN I have 3060ti, 16gb RAM and same i3 10100f, is enough for VR gaming as a whole, not only a small selection of games like with 750ti. So I'd say you just upgrade from 750 later, or buy a bit better gpu straight away, and the only way is up.
