GPU Profiling - To activate the GPU profiler, all you need to do is press CTRL + SHIFT + ,(Comma Key) together, while running your project. To track down assets that are too expensive for VR, you need to profile what your project is doing on the CPU and GPU as much as possible over the lifetime of your project. I will try out Oculus Link with several different setups and will post the results on my Oculus Quest review page.Please see the Forward Shading Renderer documentation for more information on this feature. 🙂 (In fact, it’s more powerful than either of my laptops and I paid 30% more for my laptop last year). This is the laptop I would buy if I didn’t already have two VR laptops. This VR ready laptop has an i7-9750H generation chip, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and a GTX 1650 graphics card, for under $900! It has enough power to edit 5.7K 360 videos, and it’s thin and compact enough to fit in a backpack. But if you have a full-size tower PC, then the GTX 1650 will work. The issue is that GTX 1650 won’t fit slim PCs, unless you’re willing to wait for a GTX 1650 low profile, which is hard to find at the time of this writing. Like the GTX 1050Ti, it doesn’t require external power. Graphics card: The most affordable graphics card that supports Oculus Link at this time is the GTX 1650, which is quite affordable at around $150. Look for one with a tower case, not a slim case, because a slim case will limit your options.

Oculus Link required specs – graphics cardĭesktop: You can look for a used desktop PC on eBay with an Intel i5-4590 and 8GB RAM for around $250. AMD cards don’t work with Oculus Link at the moment. To run Oculus Link, you need an i5-4590 or better, 8GB RAM, and a compatible graphics card, namely GTX 1070 or higher, GTX 16-series, RTX 20-series.


Here are some affordable ways to get a VR-ready PC. However, to do so, you’ll need to connect the Quest to a VR-ready PC, which is now more affordable than ever. On the other hand, some of the best VR games are available only on desktop VR, such as the recently released Asgard’s Wrath.įortunately, now you won’t have to choose - you’ll be able to use the Oculus Quest to play Oculus Rift games. For many first-time VR users, they would rather have a VR headset that is untethered, self-contained, and does not need a powerful VR-ready PC to run.

One of the few criticisms against the Quest is that the graphics are not as good as those of desktop VR headsets, such as the Oculus Rift S, which is not at all surprising given that Quest is running on a mobile chipset (Snapdragon 835). It’s probably the most popular VR headset at the moment, and on pace to outsell the Playstation VR. Oculus Quest is a standalone 6DOF VR headset, with two 6DOF wireless controllers. And if you’re wondering what’s the most affordable way to get a VR-ready PC that is compatible with Oculus Link, I’ll discuss some options.
#VR SUPPORTED GPU UPDATE#
Oculus Quest (reviewed here) can now play Oculus Rift games officially and with full desktop quality, thanks to the Oculus Link update promised at Oculus Connect 6 and finally released today. Oculus Quest standalone 6DOF headset (formerly called Project Santa Cruz)
