Hi Brad. Do you have Rift or Quest? The minimum graphics card for VR is GTX 1050 Ti see here https://support.oculus.com/248749509016567/ And GTX 1650 is better than GTX 1050 Ti, so it should work. What message are you getting? Also, have you tried the Steam VR performance test? https://store.steampowered.com/app/323910/SteamVR_Performance_Test/

On laptops with GTX 1050 Ti, the HDMI port is connected to the integrated GPU on the motherboard instead of the GTX 1050 Ti, so Oculus can’t run on those, although SteamVR can. It’s possible that there’s a similar issue with GTX 1650 laptops.

Hi Mic,

Just wondering what kind of laptop specs you need to comfortably edit 8k 360 content? Looking for a powerful laptop to be my sole machine. Don’t mind spending a bit more if it means it will last and cope with high resolution files. Mainly using Premiere Pro and any camera company rendering software. I’ve seen the RTX2080 card thta seems promising but easy to get lost with all the specs!

Thanks.
