Oculus link with a low spec laptop

in Oculus Quest 2 and Quest
I'm just letting people know after hours of trying to find out and having no success if a lower spec laptop could run the oculus link and it can, just depends on the visuals. I only got to use vader immortal to try out and it seemed fine for the most part. I did experience some crashing while trying to set up the link with the laptop.

If you have this same laptop make sure windows is up to date as well as your drives in your geforce experience, use a usb 3 port with a anker or official oculus cable (I don't have the party link cable)

My laptop specs (acer nitro 5)
Intel i5 8th gen
GPU GTX 1050 4G DDR5 
RAM 8GB

I don't know a great deal about computers but I just hope this helps anyone who is in the same position as me with a budget game laptop.

    To the best of my knowledge, WMR standard is the only VR app that will work with intel integrated. Both Oculus and Vive require pretty beefy Nvidia or AMD accelerators.

    You can look into getting a video card dock. Its the only way you can connect an external high end video card to a laptop that I know of and Ive been reading that many ppl are having success with it.

    Thats only true if you use the TB3 but there are other options out there that use mini PCI-E and EXP GDC. It wont let me post a link or I would. just google it and youll see
