We are at the stage where nothing is enough for either fps or resolution. I use a vive original and its painfully blurry and thats 1080p per eye and a very low fov. For a high fov lens we will probably need 16k per eye at 144hz before people will consider it good enough like 4k for monitors is now. We don't even have the cables to push that much data currently, let alone render it.

I expect to reach this we will probably have to start using foverted rendering.

So the 3090 they announced is shown at 8k on 320 Hz monitors on the presentation. They are quite far still from 2*16k at 144 Hz.

I was surprised over the difference 320 Hz monitors make according to them.

Foveated rendering might take that 60 FPS to 90 FPS or 120 FPS on the same GPU. That will cause a step change in realism.

The interpolation tech they've come up with is not shabby, 45 FPS will get you pretty far with that
