Oculus Link is not working on my laptop (Asus TUF FX 505DT)

I have had Oculus Link work only three times so far since it's release. For only one of those times, has it worked multiple days in a row without messing up. Typically it stops working after a windows update or after I restart my laptop. Used to when I would try it, I would get an infinite loading screen. This has stopped and now the screen is just black and I get a notification from Oculus Software on my laptop warning me of a hardware issue and that Link has stopped working. I would really like to get this solved because while using Virtual Desktop to play PC VR games works, my internet is too slow and the tracking prediction that the app uses makes it near impossible to play certain games like Beat Saber and makes the experience of certain games like Boneworks less fun due to the loss of video quality. I feel like it may have something to do with the fact that Oculus Software tells me that my specs do not reach the minimum spec, but i'm not sure. My laptop specs are a GTX 1650 Mobile w/ 4gb of VRAM, Ryzen 7 3700H, 8gb of RAM.

How is it plugged in?

It is almost certainly your GPU, The desktop 1650 isn't even supported and the 1650m mobile variant is less capable.

It’s a bit confusing actually, because if I Google ‘Oculus Link Requirements’ another top search link comes up: https://support.oculus.com/717936525348321/ 

And says ‘NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 Series (All)’ is compatible. I know the link you submitted is the later one. As I recall seeing the one above early on when I started using Link last year, but why does this still come up on searches?

I reached out the Oculus support and they confirmed that https://support.oculus.com/444256562873335/ is the correct place regarding Link compatibility. I knew this already, but wanted to see if they could remove the other section.
