Card looks to be fantastic value for money, would have preferred if it was maybe 10% higher performance but it is certainly the card that is going into the machines I am building in July for myself and a couple of friends. perfect for 1080p gaming and ok for 1440p and provides some capacity for VR while sucking less juice than previous gen offerings. No it doesn't compete with the 1070 or 1080 but then it was never meant to except in price where it slaughters both in bang for buck. I am just glad I don't have to get another Nvidia card!

I doubt it is going to be any good for VR, not with all the bells and whistles turned on anyway.
VR's resolution and framerate is 2160x1200 @ 90fps in most cases.
And considering that Tomb Raider, Ashes of Singularity, Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, The Witcher 3, The Division, GTA 5, Hitman and more isn't able to hit 90fps (Heck, it even struggles to hit 60fps) at 1920x1080... With everything turned on... Well. You get the idea.
You would need to turn the graphics effects down for VR, which in my opinion isn't an ideal scenario.
You would likely need a pair of these for the best VR experience.

yep, hence why I said "some" capacity for VR, it comes in just above the entry level requirements which at least allows you to try it out and if need be you can throw a second card in(though VR really doesn't interest me enough to bother). What I actually expect is this card is a great mid range card that is a good compromise on performance vs price and provides a good future. AMD seem to have made the right choices for a change.
