Okay fam, I'm done with lag. What GPUs will give me buttery smooth VR performance? (self.pcmasterrace)

I've had my index for a year or two now, I've got both desktop and my beefy AF laptop that I play it on, but both are still super janky. The laptop is actually better for it believe it or not but I still get some hiccups here and there.

I know my bottleneck on the desktop is my GPU, CPU is ready for anything I can pair it with, what's a good one that will never let me see a frame drop again?

Come on I know you guys have suggestions

Edit: since you're all asking here's a list I made some time ago with most of my parts

Ignore the storage you see, i have like 2nvme drives and several SSD's that I didn't list

CPU can also play a big roll even when you have a weak GPU. Frame time spikes are generally more from your CPU, and frame time spikes can make VR pretty rough. And even with an older GPU (GTX 1080) I saw quite the uplift in 1% lows going from a 3700x to a 5800x3D.

Also don't buy an rtx 4090 if you've got like a ryzen 1600x, that'd just be stupid.
