can´t use, cause of 2 grafic cards :-(

:(
I have a gaming Laptop, called Medion X7831. It has a NVidia Geforce GTX880M and a Intel HD4600
Also a HDMI port and so on......(but no digital Monitor port, only a VGA port)

But when trying to connect the DK2, it says: Oculus is connected to different gpu

Hm...when choosing "extend Display mode" and trying again
But now the Display is 90° to the right

Tried everything in Windows 8.1, choosing Display th get 90° to left....I´ve seen the demo with the flowers..........but not in 3D, only in 2 Windows inside the DK2

Don´t know what to do now
Any Chance (in future) that the DK driver can be choosen the GPU i want?

best regards from Germany

  • It sounds like your issue is Optimus (switchable graphics). This is a hardware limitation of the GPU, and a software patch may not be able to ever fix it.

    However, you should read my guide as it may help you getting something working.
