    Trying to get my computer to pass the Oculus VR Compatibility check, everything's green ticks with the exception of "USB" which says: "Some of the hardware that powers your USB ports is not compatible: Eltron USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller" I've tried installing drivers from both Intel and...

I've just been given a UHD4K2K by my sister on my birthday. Needless to say it runs like molasses but I can't really take it...
