I'm wondering why my PC doesn't meet the minimum specifications (Oculus Link Compatibility)
My PC:
Intel i7-3770
Radeon RX 560
16 GB RAM
Windows 10
Solved! Go to Solution.

It's the 3770, wasn't even supported for the original Rift. https://support.oculus.com/248749509016567/
There are no socket 1155 CPU's supported. I was using one when I started with the original Rift, with degraded performance.
That's a 3rd Gen CPU almost 10 years old now, official support started with 4th gen. If I remember correctly, 3rd gen was the first to have USB 3 support but those early controllers were not reliable to give full bandwidth.
I don't think your CPU is blacklisted or anything and you can spoof it using the Oculus tray tool. Expect poor performance in some of the newer games. If you have a modern USB controller card like this one
you may want to install it if you want to try wired link.
Based on my experience with the CV1 with the same basic system you have, and the Q2 and link needed more processing power than the CV1 did to run at a higher resolution. Sorry to say I have serious doubts that your PC is capable of giving you any good results in VR.

Thanks! It’s probably time to start looking at a new computer 🙂

such a historically bad time to be shopping for a video card, I would be tempted to grab a barebones without GPU and use your 560 until things got more reasonable. Something like this, a copy of win 10 and some RAM would get you by IMO. https://www.ebay.com/itm/393385169902?hash=item5b979553ee:g:ZoEAAOSwQdZgvuKR
