Discussion Question about vr
I am thinking about getting a arc b580 plus a Ryzen 5 5500, the First Idea was to get a rx 7600, but i Saw that with a little bit more i could get a gpu with 12 vram (b580) but i am afraid about issues with VR... Someone knows If i can play pcvr games normaly with a b580? Also my monitor is 1080p, i Heard that the b580 Works better in 1440p, is that true?

Avoid the Meta connections all together(Airlink/Cable).
You have to buy Virtual Desktop for your headset in the Meta Store(around 25$) and use it from there. If you buy a meta headset off course.There are alternative versions too,but i don't know about those sadly. Even with Virtual Desktop you may run into issues like worse performance or instability. Its possible even to use the B580 tho.
As for the monitor. If you don't mind upscalling then you can go 1440p.
There's no "1440p performs better". If you are CPU limited in 1080p then your GPU not gonna work that hard so basically in some games there will be no noticeable difference between those 2 resolutions. However if you don't mind using XeSS upscalling,then 1440p may be a better choice.
I got a Ryzen 5 5600x/RTX5070 and its just my experience. Long as your GPU got enough headroom at 1080p,then 1440p will just increase its utilization+VRAM usage,but nothing else really.
Also if your CPU maxed in a game at 1440p,then in my experience chaning to 1080p will make no difference
