Compatibility Issues

[Alex4411]

Hello! I bought a VR-ready PC from ASUS and I now want to buy an Oculus headset too. Recently, I found out that even if the compatibility tests have positive results, Oculus won't work if the PC isn't "Oculus Ready". Although, some users were able to use the headset for other laptops. How can I know if mine is compatible?

From what I see, your laptop has a GTX 1060, which is within the Oculus VR Ready Requirements.  The Oculus does technically work on weaker computers, just the frame rate will be low, leading to a poor quality experience.  Being that your computer is within the requirements and specifically says VR ready, you'll be able to hook the Oculus to it and run it with decent FPS.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to know for sure without actually testing the laptop with Rift. That is the point of the Oculus Ready program, as we can test and confirm compatibility. The Compatibility Tool will give you a rough idea, and should work decently on desktops, but for laptops is it very hard to tell.

Should be fine, the technical specs are all pretty good and so it should run all games at higher detail settings at 90 fps locked. The price is fairly nice on newegg too, though out of stock.

The only issue that could possibly pop up is power draw on the USB ports. USB ports tend to have a max combined power output in addition to their individual port limits. VR devices, joysticks and other such high power draw items tend to bust those limits if all 3-4 devices are plugged into the same set of ports. So worst case scenario is you might need a $15 powered USB hub to give extra electricity. But that isn't a sure thing, it's just something that *might* happen. I don't see any other possible issues with it, looks like a really good laptop for VR.

I bought it a week ago and it works perfect. Thanks for the support.
