A important thing that a lot of people forget. Do not forget to buy a wireless adapter or wifi card for your computer. Without it, your computer can only connect to the internet using a ethernet cable.

Uh, that's actually how my computer connects to the modem, as it's directly next to it. I mean, a wired connection is a little bit faster then a wireless one.

it's also more stable

What's up with "VR Ready"? Both the 480 and 1080 advertises that it's "VR Ready".

>480 thinking it can slap VR ready on there

not fucking happening pal

That's supposed to mean the cards can handle HTC Vive. And I'd be REALLY surprised if RX480 could. 1080 can for sure and very well, but the performance of a 480 in VR must be shit.

Very close to the 970 and 390. 970 beats it by an insignificant margin in performance and has all the GTX card features, but the 480 is more than a hundred bucks cheaper.

it basically means that they're powerful enough to run VR headsets
