Problems using oculus link

Hello,

I recently got a quest 2 to play games and use it with Unity (A Game Engine)

so I installed the pc Oculus Application  an connected my quest using my link cable  but it kept giving me this spinning circle .

windows recognizes it as a quest 2 and i dont know the problem.

 

when i open the oculus app it gives me this message

Is the problem with my GPU?

These are my pc specs:

i5-10400 @2.90ghz

16 GB ram

Intel HD 630 GPU

(note: i do not have usb 3.0 )

.................................................

Is the problem with usb 2.0 or with my GPU or Both?

 

Thanks.

The GPU is definitely your first problem. I think the CPU is also on the low end of "VR Ready".

    I don't want you to feel like I'm roasting you, but your machine specs are perplexing. You have a 1 year old CPU, a 5 year old integrated Intel GPU and no USB 3.0 at all? I don't think it's possible for a machine built in the last 4 years to not have USB 3.0 ports. You may not have USB C ports, but that's different.

     

    You should take a look at these videos. This guy reviews a bunch of cables that are compatible with Quest Link. You have to keep in mind that a USB A -> USB C cable you're using to charge your phone probably isn't going to work, because they're not designed for data transmission, but there are USB 3.0 A -> C cables that will work.

    Also, keep in mind that if you get a new GPU you'll probably need a new power supply, and the power supply may not fit in the case, and this is going to become an expensive slippery slope trying to upgrade this machine.

      Yeah man. What's been said.  I have a computer bought almost 5 years ago in 2017.  It's an i5 6600k and a GTX 1070.  Ya gota have the blue USB 3 ports for sure.. I can play Half-life Alyx on airlink.  You're not going to get it working on USB2 and integrated graphics. Are you actually on a laptop?

       

      Minimum GPU spec to run Oculus Home is a GTX 1060.  It is said that Intel HD 630 GPU is the equivalent of a GTX 1050Ti . So you are just barley brushing up against the low bar for minimum spec. Good luck!
