will my pc run vr?

[Astro_hamada987655]

so im getting a gtx 1050ti at the end of this month

and im wondering if i get a oculus quest 2 will it run on those specs:

Gpu: Gtx 1050ti
Ram: 4GB
processor: Intel core i3 4150

You can search this online--from what I'm reading, these specs fall short--spec the RAM and cpu. You can find some sources like Reddit which do claim a 1050Ti is eligible but is at the minimum low end.

Here is one source, scroll down to find cpu (i5 4590 or higher), RAM (8GB) and gpu:

Here's a source that does list the 1050Ti:

If you go by the above source, even if you upgraded your RAM to 8 GB, the remainder is iffy as the cpu is weak. If you had the gpu already, you could test this system with SteamVR Performance Test to see where you'd be on the spectrum. This is a free program available at the Steam store.

Edited to replace a link that wasn't loading properly.

No

I talk too much, it seems.

No, you fall short in all specs, not just graphics card.

You'd need minimum...

i7 4770/4790 or newer (12th Gen i5 would do fine also)
16GB RAM
GTX 1070 or better
At least one SSD
Windows 10 64bit 21H2 or later

However with a QUEST 2 VR, this can download and play games without any other connected device.

Well GTX 16 series is kind of trash. You'd have no problems if you had a better GPU. Even a GTX 1080 would be like 200% better.

1660 v/s/ti were good, but weak for newer games or beyond 1080p

1060 3g was ok, but weaker than the 6g which has more cores/tmus/rops enabled

Not currently, but with a few minor upgrades it could be

I had i5 3550, 8gb ram, and GTX 1050 ti and it was good for games like superhot vr and beat sabre.

If you upgrade your ram to 8gb you probably can do it, but would definitely work if you also upgrade to an i5

[_I_]

for vr you want a cpu and gpu that can hold 90+fps in the game
falling below that will make you nauseous

kinda why the 1060 was the min when vr started to go mainstream

For most games in VR, it's not really enough.

I would suggest just going to a VR arcade if there is one near you, it's likely to end up being a lot cheaper unless you'd be playing for hours every single day, which is not really recommended.

And again if you buy a VR such as QUEST 2 you can load it up and download+install some VR games directly to it and play from that without any PC
