hello. I have a new laptop from yesterday MSI gp73 leopart 8RE I7 8750H 16 gb ddr 4 gtx 1060 NVME drive.
I use a Rift on my desktop with no problems , now on the laptop it stutters like hell, games are un playable, hands are extreme lagging. even in the menus of oculus home and steam VR is lagging. is this because the laptop is not good for this or is it something els ? allready tryt new and older gpu drivers.
Hey there. You should check that VR does use the NVidia GPU instead of the integrated graphics card. Don't trust the laptop for doing it by itself! It should do so, but it doesn't (that's Optimus for you ^^').
The first test I would advise is this: go in the Nvidia Control Panel, and change the "Preferred graphics processor" option to "Nvidia GPU". (something like that) Then try the Rift again. It should be smooth.
Your specs seem fine to me, but if you have a doubt, run the Oculus compatibility tool ^^.
the tool says im good for recommended settings, ans the laptop is useing the 1060 GPU And morgum i dont use extensions its connected directly to the laptop.
Did you change the preferred graphics processor? And it still stutters? That's weird... Check the Task Monitor while running a VR app. Can you confirm nothing shows "100% usage"? if any component is full, it may be a bottleneck (it's most likely not the issue, but let's check just in case ^^). Also, run the Rift configuration again (no need to uninstall the software, just press the "configure Rift" button in the device tab of the desktop app). Make sure your laptop is plugged in as well (the battery won't be enough for VR).
If none of this works, I'd suggest asking for Oculus Support.
