Because of the need to keep latency to a minimum, VR already has a high bar for framerate. In the case of Index, which supports framerates up to 144Hz, the extra efficiency could be used to raise the framerate overall, thereby reducing latency further still. PC VR headsets expect games to render consistently at 80 or 90 FPS.
