Both the Vive and the Vive Pro run at 90Mhz refresh rate, as does the Rift (if I'm recalling the Rift correctly).

I agree the increased resolution could impact FPS though.

I suspect these headsets all use VSync anyways so I would think you would have to run 90fps to satisfy 90Hz (Not Mhz) with VSync.

They want 90 frames to be rendered per second and the screens need to refresh fast enough to make that happen. In this case it's sort of a defacto-Vsync @90FPS.

Oculus has a software trick to make it "work" at 45 FPS if it can't get 90, but 90 is ideal.

My 1070 is just "okay" for the two 1080p screens in the rift now. PC1 and PC2 runs smoothly, but only at medium settings.

Sounds like it's time for a 1080!
