Can my graphics card run it?

[Dethshil]

I currently have I believe a GTX 745 graphics card when the requirements say a GTX 1060. Is it possible to still play the game with the rest of the requirements being 100%? Please let me know, I'd rather not buy a VR headset and not have the game run. Thank you!!!!!

Also do you think its possible to run it on lower quality settings with my card as an option in the game settings?

No, it will not run right or run at all. Probably not run at all.

I tried running vr on a gtx 780 for fun, it was frames. It couldn't handle vr well at all.

I'd say minimum for running ok vr is gtx 960.

But alyx requires gtx 1060, don't skimp out on video card, alyx just from screen shots, looks like it needs a good video card.

Even if it did run (it might, it does support Dx12, GL4.6 and Vulkan 1.1.126, IDK what source2 requires) it will NOT be a good experience.
The processing on the card isn't good enough to render the frames quickly enough, and it only has 4GB of memory. There is a reason Valve have specified a 6GB card as the minimum :- it needs that memory. If you don't have it, the graphics card has to constantly shunt memory to and from your system memory, access to which is many times slower than onboard memory. You'll be in low single digit frame rates, if that. - we saw that with Boneworks - 1060 6GB (or equivalent) required, 1060 3GB cards were getting about 6-7 fps.
Slide-shows are not good in VR.

Just checked, and your card isn't recommended by https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-745-oem.c2561 for even gaming at 1920x1080. All the headsets have two displays that are both higher resolution than that... go figure.

I have a GTX 780 reference and I can run ultra at 50-90fps

most notable thing - use only windows 10 (if you on 7 or 8 - you are in hell in vr)
