VR ready is really just a glorified way of saying it meets a minimum performance requirement.

huh? Samsung Gear VR runs off a Samsung phone by default, and not a PC with NVIDIA inside. why do you need to worry about NVIDIA or AMD if you are looking at Samsung Gear VR?

I also curious about VR. Heard the display for each eye is less than 1080p so is it easier to drive than a 1440p monitor? :D I would think Nvidia is the stronger brand when it comes to 3D? Is there anywhere we can try a VR headset? I only know of the Occulist Rift.

Samsung gear VR cannot support nvidia. Because it need to use a phone to work.

7 times more for the same kind of thing e.g. you won't be able to play CS:GO on your phone

You can play pre-rendered stuff like YouTube, or simple 3D render games on your phone, no biggie.

To be honest, I still have doubts if VR will take off. It almost seems like the all too familiar 3D feature that was all the rage with the marketing teams back then, but failed to take off.

I won't doubt it if the costs comes down much lower. I've tried it and its way, way better than 3D features. I would sell my monitor if everything can be used on a VR headset. The only thing that comes close is Microsoft Hololens and that tech is still years away compared to VR.
