I can save you the effort.

1650ti are not "VR ready". Now that's just marketing blurb from Nvidia but it's a valid-ish statement. It's a under-powered GPU and you wont have a fun time with it with any current headset. It just doesn't have the horse power to run VR games well. But it can run them.


However if you really want to test it yourself, you need to tell your laptop to set your 1650ti as the default on board graphics processor. Depending on your model of laptop it's either done in the bios OR in your nvida settings panel. You'll have to check which by googling your laptop model number.

How much memory does your card have?if its 6GB or better chances are your fine. I can run vr at 144 hertz and 4k with a 1060 6gb at 60 frames on most games (besides Boneworks but eh) so you should be fine.

I searched it up and 4gb is fine.

I've seen a video of a monkey using a typewriter. Doesn't make him a good writer.

To be clear, I never said it couldn't do VR, I said it was under powered for VR. It's not a GPU either Nvidia or any headset manufacturer recommends for use.

Your call if you want to buy a headset but I wouldn't.

You most certainly can not run VR at 144hz with a 1060gb. I can do it in "some" games with a 2080 ti so no idea how you are coming to the conclusion you're doing it.
