Are you guys going to do a review on the VR headsets?

Although I have already pre purchased the HTC Vive it will be good to have some professionals do a in depth review of the upcoming VR headsets. Just an idea.

Or add vr gaming to GFX card reviews?

That's a good idea, would like to know if the consumer Rift is as pixelated as DK2.

I didn't catch this until now. I cant speak for TPU's reviewers, but I doubt you'll see a VR hardware review on here, as the time for those in the big news has been and gone.

As for NPU, I intend to dive into the VR bandwagon as soon as I see a viable market. I'd only be including it for the sake of Performance Analysis articles however. I currently run the 1080p PA and 4K PA because they're big/upcoming markets (4K will replace 1080p in the next 2-3 years, but not sooner) and what people care about. Once there's an interested market in VR (which quite frankly there isn't currently right now, most average gamers can't afford it), I'll probably start adding in a piece of VR hardware into my benchmarking charts.

tl;dr not until 2017, unless a Vive falls into my lap Q4 this year.
