It seems that many people that have bought the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU (to run the Meta Quest 3 VR headset) are having compatibility problems with the PC Oculus Software app. The Oculus software says that it "doesn't meet minimum requirements" when in fact it exceeds minimum requirements. I've been working with meta support team since January 3rd and still haven't resolved the problem. They have been helpful but it seems that we keep going around in a circle trying the same things over and over again, much like a dog chasing it's tail. Some of the useful Meta support items that they had me do are:
- updated the drivers on: a new Asus Intel I9 CPU gaming motherboard, the BIOS, the RTX 4070 GPU - the Oculus app has been updated in beta mode (seems to be important) - Forced the PC Oculus Software app to the "Preferred Graphics Processor" to the High-performance Nvidia 4070 Processor { Settings >System>Display>Graphics add the OcuclusClient.exe file, click Options box & select High Performance GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40470, click save } - determined that most USB 3.0 link cables sold are in fact USB 2.0 cable. Meta Link requires a minimum USB 3.0 cable connection, so unless the description says it is a 3.0 or 3.2 cable assume it is a 2.0 cable. I purchased a USB 3.2 cable for Quest 3 VR from a local high end computer store for $34.00 and it now works without the Oculus warning "USB 2" message. Meta's cable is $110.00. (PC must have USB 3.2 ports for the cable)
So, the problem has not yet been resolved. I think the Oculus app is using the RTX 4070 GPU. Is it using it at it's full potential or has it been downgraded? No one knows.

it has been a month since this issue popped up and it still hasn't been solved. i just got new 2000$ computer only for the software you run on to simply deny access to your games because of the graphics card model? what is going on over there! I'm trying my hardest to be a nice customer but it is genuinely frustrating when i spent 2g's and still get denied because y'all just "don't allow this specific model" c'mon man.
The only thing the Oculus app says is "Your computer doesn't meet the updated minimum specifications which can lead to a poor experience in VR". My PC components far exceed their minimum specifications. I have been working with Meta support and sent them numerous diagnostic logs. They told me it's the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40470 GPU and that they were working on the problem. The problem has not been resolved yet.
4 months??? Did you contact them for the first time 4 months ago?? I contacted them last year during the summer holidays and hoped that they would fix it quickly
