I just tested my friend's Oculus Quest 2 and thought about getting one for myself. I’m hoping it will work with my PC using the Oculus Link, but I have two issues. First, my PC doesn’t have USB-C ports, and second, my GPU model, the 6500 XT, isn’t supported. Any ideas on how to fix these? Thanks!

The Oculus Quest 2 includes built-in components that work until you upgrade to a GPU. The 6500XT isn’t strong enough to run VR games smoothly without causing discomfort. I suggest going with the 6600XT or the 3060/3060 Ti. Both are nearing their MSRP.

It should work fine, particularly with PCIe Gen4. My 480 4GB drive isn't causing any issues on the airlink. The Beacon is functional, though the resolution is reduced and frame rates are still solid.

We lack the full details about his specifications, and Linus encountered problems with a 2080.

there are significant variations in this setup. The index requires a much higher resolution, which means greater GPU demands per frame. I was running at a lower resolution setting to boost the frame rate. Additionally, individuals have different tolerances for discomfort, so some might handle it better than others.

Only the 6500XT offers 4x bandwidth, meaning even with a Gen 4 capable board, performance will remain poor.

On a board with Gen 4 support, it delivers the same performance as a 480/580 4GB drive, which is why I’m comparing it to a 480GB model.

On a board featuring gen 4 support, it functions "adequately"—meaning it's not as strong as cards from 5–6 years prior, but it's still in line with typical performance for its time.

I'm not sure if that's the best option, but I aim for a seamless feel. High quality and smooth performance are key. Also, we're uncertain about whether he has the latest version. If not, he should consider an upgrade for VR; even if it doesn't seem necessary right now, it could be useful later.

I'm using a PCI Gen 4 card with a 5600x slot. That should help. Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll give it a shot and find out.
