Choosing A Graphics Card For Our 1080p TheBluVR PC Build
Getting the right graphics card is a good way to start any game PC build. So lets take a look for the best price to performance gpu hardware available right now, that isnt overpowered for this game but will still run TheBluVR at 1080p ultra settings. Today’s prices for graphics cards lead us to the GeForce GTX 1660 Super Asus Dual Evo OC 6GB as the smartest GPU option for this computer and one that will deliver some good frame rates at this gaming resolution at ultra. We have seen this card drop its price recently by $47.68 which is part of the reason it has been slotted in to this build. For reference, our lowest tracked price for this graphics card was on 28th Nov 2019 and it was priced at $229.99. Todays price of $239.99 is certainly a good price for this hardware, considering the performance returns are a good match for this game.
Selecting The Right TheBluVR 1080p Motherboard and CPU
To fit with the above graphics card we have chosen a well priced motherboard, the GIGABYTE GA-A320M mATX AM4, that will allow us to slot in a compatible Ryzen 5 2400G processor based around the shared Socket AM4 socket. With the chosen cpu and gpu working together we will get a great TheBluVR experience, that helps achieve steady frames at this resolution. The chosen cpu has itself been selected because it represents a good fit with the game and the price we found it at when comparing today’s cpu market prices, finding it currently priced at $149.99. You can get this processor for $118.98, which we saw it at that price on 3rd Dec 2019. This is the lowest we have seen it at while watching processor prices.
The GIGABYTE GA-A320M mATX AM4 motherboard has a cost today of $59.99 that helps find it a place in today’s TheBluVR build. A low price point for this motherboard would be $51.88, which we recorded it at on 18th Feb 2021.
How To Choose The Best RAM For TheBluVR At The Right Price
To make sure we meet the TheBluVR system requirements and to help us achieve the required FPS for Ultra at 1080p we have chosen the Patriot Viper Steel Series 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz, which is todays best priced system memory. It is priced at $42.99 and compliments the CPU and GPU nicely. The cheapest system memory price for Patriot Viper Steel Series 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz was recorded as $30.35, and this was on 29th Nov 2019.
PC Performance Review at 1080p Ultra Settings on TheBluVR
Our PC build can run TheBluVR at High graphics settings comfortably, returning a 1080p FPS of 88 and we would expect an average of 63 FPS on Ultra with the GeForce GTX 1660 Super Asus Dual Evo OC 6GB, Ryzen 5 2400G combo we have put into this computer.

Other Popular Game 1080p Ultra Custom PC Builds
Increasing the screen resolution for TheBluVR would mean this setup would be getting FPS that are 48 FPS average, at 1440p Ultra. The FPS would go up to 67 FPS if the graphics settings at this resolution were lowered to High.
How this build performs for other popular games
Obviously we will want to run other games on our new TheBluVR PC so lets explore some anticipated frame rates of some other popular games today with this hardware at 1080p. Grand Theft Auto VI should get 63 when run on Ultra and this raises to 88 FPS on High. The popular Far Cry 6 gets a return of 63 FPS on Ultra and then up to 88 FPS when settings are dropped to High. Then there is Battlefield 2042, which is popular at the moment, which is returning 63 FPS run at Ultra and 88 frames on High.
An Alternative TheBluVR Graphics Card Option for 1080p
Why not switch out the graphics card in this build and replace it with a similarly powerful card from AMD. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB graphics card has a 7% better performance variation compared to the currently chosen video card. As the best price point for an alternative manufacturer in this range it currently costs $899.98.
