Support Article - Oculus Rift or Quest

Buying a gaming PC to pair up with Oculus VR

The minimum specifications for The Rift is as below

For the Quest 

https://support.oculus.com/444256562873335/

So please note although for the Rift a Nvidia GTX 1050 ti meets the minimum specifications, for the Quest a GTX 1050 ti does not, and you need at least a Nvidia GTX 1060

As with most games, although your system may meet the Minimum Spec, you will have a much smoother and enjoyable experience if you meet or exceed the Recommended Spec 

This means that from our range of CPU's you cannot choose the i7-2600, which is a very capable and powerful CPU but  the architecture of the i7-2600 just isn't suitable for an Oculus headset.

This also means the i3-2100 & i5-2400 in our current range of CPUs aren't suitable for VR

So you will need at least a i5-10400 from our range to use with an Oculus headset 

If in doubt see the numbering immediately after the dash  for example the i5-10400 is a 10th generation CPU so would be suitable

You will also need to make sure that the system you choose has USB 3.2 ports. Or the headset will either fail to work or frequently disconnect from the PC.

This information is not easily available from Oculus, but is verified with their support channels 

USB 3.2 is support is relatively new but any system you purchase from us with a Gen 10+ processor should support  USB 3.2
