So I just spent about 20 minutes trying to get my Rift CV1 setup on my Alienware. It seems that the HMD isn't registering the 3.0 USB ports. I know that my ports are all 3.0, but the HMD sees them as 2.0 for some reason. And when I switch things around, the sensors acknowledge the 3.0 version, but not the HMD.
I'm sure I can figure something out to get it working. But that's where I'm at for now!🙂

Thanks for the Feedback, Tom! The main issue I'm having is that my Rift won't actually turn on. The little inside sensor light responds, but when I put the HMD, the screen stays dark. I assumed that this 2.0 USB is the issue.

Hmmm, this makes me think my CV1 may still have some life in it yet. I've been dealing with this same problem with my system in my Signature. For the past many months my CV1 has been showing the same...not connected to USB 3.0 even though it is. It has ran fine for months showing only connected to USB 2.0 but late last week went all black screen. I tried switching all my USB ports around + even installed another USB 3.0 card I had but HMD wouldn't connect to USB 3.0 and remained black screen. Also tried different HDMI ports but nothing helped. I also tried a few different Nvidia drivers but nothing helped. It leads me to think there has been a recent Windows 10 update that has fff'd everything up. Oculus is saying they haven't changed anything affecting USB. Looks like I may try to install the CV1 on my 980Ti system and see if it still works there.Good luck getting yours to work with your Alienware!!!

VR on a GTX 1050ti is like driving with 3 wheels. It's possible, but not as enjoyable. Never play on "minimum" specs. Use recommend specs instead. Also, laptop graphic cards are a little bit weaker than their desktop counterparts. If you really wanna do VR, buy a quest, sell your laptop and buy another one with at least a GTX 1060/RX 570/470, or buy an eGPU(external graphic card).

I'm using Oculus v20 with the latest win10 2004 with current updates and nvidia 422.19. No USB3 problems with my Rift cv1 w/2x sensors.I'm always weary of upgrading windows to the latest release due to how many times they have screwed up everyone systems with botched releases...LOL!!! I've deferred full number upgrades for the maximum year...but will see, I might do the upgrade now that things have settled...when I have some time... Cheers!!!Out of curiosty...why Nvidia 422.19 instead of latest 452.06 or anything in between?OP...apologies for hijacking your post... o:)
