Issue with graphic card compatibility with Oculus software

[Mr.Abarth]

I have a brand new high end Dell XPS laptop with a RTX 4070 graphics card. The Oculus software however gives a message that my graphics card is not compatible with the Rift S software.

How do I fix this. I know my graphics card is more than capable. I have installed all the new drivers but still no luck. 

I do see that my laptop has 2 GPU's. Could this be the problem?

1. Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics

2. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU

Before we begin, let's understand what "spoofing" a GPU means in this context. It's essentially tricking your system into thinking you have a specific GPU, often a higher-end one, to enable features or bypass limitations.

Here's a detailed guide to spoofing your GPU for Quest Link:

Step 1: Uninstall Quest Link App
Step 2: Remove Leftover Files
Open File Explorer: Press the Windows key + E.
Navigate to Program Files: Go to C:\Program Files and search for any remaining Quest Link files or folders. Delete them if found.
Navigate to AppData/Local: Go to C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local and search for Quest Link files or folders. Delete them if found.
Step 3: Identify Your GPU's Hardware ID
Open Device Manager: Search for "Device Manager" in the Windows Start menu and open it.
Expand Display Adapters: Click on the arrow to expand the list of display adapters.
Right-click on Your GPU: Right-click on your GPU and select "Properties."
Hardware ID: In the "Details" tab, look for the "Propierty" and "Hardware IDs." Copy this value.
Step 4: Modify the Windows Registry (Proceed with EXTREME Caution)
Warning: Editing the Windows Registry incorrectly can lead to system instability. Proceed with caution and back up your registry before making any changes.

Open Registry Editor: Search for "regedit" in the Windows Start menu and run it.
Navigate to the Key: Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\PCI
Find Your GPU: Look for the folder that corresponds to your GPU's Hardware ID.
Go to his subfolder and look for HardwareID and CompatibleIDs.
Edit HardwareID and CompatibleIDs:
Right-click on the HardwareID key and select "Modify."
Add PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_2520&REV_A1 (this key belongs to GeForce RTX 3060) to the beginning of the value data.
Repeat the process for the CompatibleIDs key.
Step 5: Reboot Your System
Reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

Step 6: Install again Quest Link App and enjoy.
Note: The specific Hardware ID for the GPU you want to spoof (in this case, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_2520&REV_A1) will vary depending on the GPU model you're targeting. Ensure you're using the correct ID for your desired GPU.

Remember to proceed with caution when editing the Windows Registry.
