Hello,
I am a developer trying to use Unity on my Windows 11 laptop to develop VR apps for the Meta Quest 3.
To run my project on the headset, I downloaded the Meta Quest Link app. When I open th...
Hey ijoffe! It looks like you're viewing the Rift & Rift S system requirements page. For Meta Quest Link specifically, you'll want to look at our Requirements to use Meta Quest Link page. It doesn't look like non-super 1650 series NVIDIA cards are supported for Meta Quest Link, which would explain the error you're running into.
No worries, I'm happy to provide more clarity! It depends which side of the spectrum you're on for the unsupported hardware. There are some higher end GPUs that have yet to be supported, such as AMD's 7000 series. Those will typically run into error messages stating that their GPU is unsupported and that they may experience performance issues. However, looking at user feedback, they seem to run just fine.
When it comes to being below the minimum specifications, not only will your performance vary heavily, but the Meta Quest Link app may deny you the ability to use it altogether.
There's 2 types of errors related to GPUs that you'll run into on the Meta Quest Link app.
One is a blue banner stating that your performance may be impacted, but you should still be able to launch and play apps just fine.
The second error is a full screen error message stating that your GPU is not compatible—not allowing you to launch any apps or experiences within the Meta Quest Link app.
Since the hardware altogether isn't supported, there won't be much I nor MetaStoreHelp will be able to help with in terms of optimization and/or getting it to work properly. Your main options would be to upgrade to a compatible GPU based on our requirements, or to continue using a third-party PCVR software for testing your application.
The Meta Quest Link app worked on my PC, although I had an unsupported GPU (A2000). But with the latest update I did today, I cannot start the app anymore. It tells me, that my graphics card is not supported. So I cannot use Meta Quest Link anymore. Sorry guys, but this is unacceptable. It worked before, it should continue to work. I cannot buy a completely new device, just because Meta now thinks that a graphics card may not fully meet the requirements although in fact it does serve me well enough.
