Is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 compatible with Quest Link?

Hi,
I have a Dell XPS 15 7590, i7- 9750H with 32gb ram and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650.
I have been trying to use my oculus link with Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 however I have noticed the oculus link cable does not support the 
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card.
Are Oculus looking to make this compatible?

Yeah, the 1650 is sadly not supported with Link and I haven't heard word on when/if it will be supported. Your best bet is probably to just upgrade your graphics card. The 1650 Super is supported as are the GPUs listed HERE.

Genesis does what Nintendon't! Send me a DM if you have questions. I'm happy to help!

I get this answer from Oculus about fixing the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 this morning: 

"We cannot provide you any specific dates addressing this concern."

The Virtual Desktop app might allow you to use a GTX 1650 instead of link/airlink

Virtual Desktop from the Meta store

Well, if you did actually get it to run on your 1650 your laptop wouldn't even be able to run 2020. I have an rtx4060 and an i7 13700hx and i can only run it at like 15 fps in urban areas with vr.

I'm not currently using the GTX1650 graphics card, but when I first got my Quest 2, the computer I used for PCVR was a Ryzen 5, I believe, that had a GTX1650 graphics card. The basic one. Not the 1650s or the 1650ti... I say that to emphasize the model I was using because I think all too often people will say the model # for something(like graphics card) and wont specify even tho the different versions have very different specs. Anyways, sorry for that tangent. I had a Ryzen 5 with a GTX 1650 desktop pc that ran my VR games pretty good. I was pretty surprised. I know this reply is years late, but figure it may still help someone looking into getting a quest or something.
