Just a quick question about CPUs for VR.
I currently have an i5-6600k, which I am looking at upgrading slightly, as I am not inclined to buy a new motherboard as well at this time.
Looking at the i7-6700k vs i5-7600k and their comparison here, I am unsure what would be considered the best option for VR. The i5 has some aspects where it performs better, while the i7 has others. Which matter the most for VR?
The reason for comparing these is that they are quite comparable in price. I could always go for the i7-7700k (which is max what my motherboard can take), but for comparison reasons the two above make more sense. Additionally I am running a 1060 6GB GPU, which I think will bottleneck if I start going for 8 or 9 gen. So going beyond 7gen would pretty much force me to buy a completely new pc, sans harddrives, and I am not there yet
All thoughts are appreciated.
