Delivering a great VR experience demands seven times the
graphics processing power of traditional 3D games and applications – driving
framerates above 90 frames per second (fps) for two simultaneous images (one
for each eye).

NVIDIA® GPUs are at the heart of the VR ecosystem and are
powered by the award-winning NVIDIA MaxwellTM graphics architecture, which was
created with VR in mind. In addition to powering fast framerates, it includes
unique VR features, such as support for NVIDIA Multi-Res Shading, which boosts
performance by up to 50 percent while maintaining image quality and reducing
latency.
