My thoughts are that oculus link is going to work through single USB cable connected to PC, so you probably will need extra PC power to encode video before sending it to quest unlike just outputting to displayport for rift s. Am I right?

Yes, the encoding will take some extra work, but that probably won’t drive the GPU requirement higher; it will most likely be the CPU that deals with it.nalex66 said:

Oculus hasn’t released any details of minimum or recommended specs. For now, assume that it’s the same requirements as Rift. The frame rate is a bit lower, but there’s extra work to be done encoding the stream.
If you’re looking at a current gen GPU, I’d say at least a GTX 1660. The AMD equivalent is probably cheaper, but I don’t know their video cards well enough to make a recommendation.

Apparently AMD graphics cards are not good for Oculus games, so best to stick with Nvidia.

Nvidia and intel are garbage, their the apple of tech componets. Get a used Vega 56, best deal on the market.
