Quest Link support for the RTX 4050?

I've checked on the website regarding the requirements for a headset, and it says that all 40 series GPU's are supported, however, looking online, I've been told that the 4050 is incompatible with Quest link.

Hi @OvenPenguin 

It will work but it will just have poor performance in some titles. I believe the 4050 is a Laptop only chip which does limit it somewhat.

Doing a little research it seems the 4050 mobile chip is about the same as a 2060 desktop chip. This still runs things like Half Life Alyx with no issue. If you already have the laptop you may as well buy a cable and check it out for yourself or even better give it a try with Airlink!

Happy Gaming!

So I've got Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop with:

 

  • NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 6 Gt
  • AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640HS
  • 16 Gt RAM, 512 Gt M.2 NVMe SSD

and USB 3.2 ports. Oculus software still says the machine doesn't meet the minimum requirements, without specifying further. So what could it be? It's connected with a cable that works with my desktop. Thanks!

 

edit.

No worries, ran the link test and all it was was not being connected to a router via LAN cord.

 

 

Hey @larson800! There's all sorts of neat stuff to see and experience on the PCVR side of Quest, so we're happy to help if you still need it! It seems like you've figured it all out, but we just wanted to check in to make sure everything was all good still!

Hey did you get it worked out. I just recently got a acer helios neo 16 with the rtx 4050 and it connects via the link but the framerate plummets to unstable/unuseable.

Hey there, @FamilyGoulart! We understand you were encountering some trouble with the frame rate with PCVR when using the link. Certainly understand wanting to be able to enjoy VR with the smoothest frame rate possible and we will work together on this. To get started please try the troubleshooting steps below

  • Check and update the GPU driver to the latest version
  • Does this happen when using Air Link?
  • Ensure cable that came with headset is being used.
  • Ensure that the dedicated graphics driver for the laptop is being used following the steps below:
  1. Close the Oculus Desktop software
  2. Open Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings
  3. Select Classic App from the drop down and click Browse
  4. Select the OculusClient.exe
    (By default, this will be installed C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-client\OculusClient.exe)
  5. Click Options > High Performance > Save
    Ensure the "High Performance" option has your dedicated graphics at the top of this menu.
  • Which headset is being used?
  • Try different port with link

Should it continue please let us know and we will continue to work together on this. We look forward to hearing back!

I'd like to understand why my computer's graphics card is RTX4050, but after successfully connecting with Quest Link, when I open the 'Desktop' feature from the menu, the screen is black. However, I can still interact with the computer. How can I solve this problem?
