Skyrim VR System Requirements

[JIO_GRAZE]

Me and a friend were looking over the Skyrim VR system requirements, and they pointed out some things that make me question whether the sheet is accurate or not. Such points as, the minimum vram is more than most people would have, or that the recommended CPU is actually slower than the minimum one. The reason i go to the forums is: i have no idea myself. I don't know much about the technical side of things. If the spec sheet is accurate, i'm a ways off from being able to run the game, and so my question is: "Is it accurate?". Here are my pc's specs, id love to know if you think i can run it or not (on lowest graphics if necessary):

Well, I think that they may have lowballed it a bit, but it is mainly in the ballpark. I see how you would believe that your laptop would have troubles running SKyrim Vr at the required 90 hz/fps per eye - I think it is. Or even would probably chug at around 30 fps which in VR is much more noticeable a drop than on a monitor.
Your VRAM is 1024 MB low.
and RAM is 8 GB, meets the requirements and basically is considered low nowadays for a gaming PC, although many arguments persist that 8 GB is suffice for everything.
I would look up your Graphics card on https://www.videocardbenchmark.net
and also look up what the recommendations for the game are and compare the Pass G3D mark ratings and such.
Processor speed isn't much of a bottleneck as Video Ram, that is Ram dedicated solely for graphics and SHOULD be listed in every system requirements, but is not, only RAM is mostly posted on requirements.
So whenever Video Ram caps out, regular RAM should be picking up what is left BUT RAM is also applied to everything else the PC is doing, and for a game it calculated AI, music etc etc.
I'm surprised that is so little VRAM, maybe it is for the integrated chip Intel HD 630. Because that AMD come in 2GB or 4 GB.
Play other VR games?
It is hard to say with Skyrim, as it is an old game, but this is the Enhanced version and then also in VR, so that means running the game twice - one for each eye...
I run it fine with everything closed on my PC but the game and my steam client - probably because I have only 8 GB RAM the game chugs with stuff running coincidentally.
But also have Nvidia GTX 1060 which has almost double the Passmark rating of your AMD, and is considered the lowest one would want to go while playing VR.
And honestly - My system struggles with anything VR past the 1st generation of VR games.
