[SOLVED] How to use oculus link on PC with outdated motherboard?

[AsteriskRin]

My PC has old motherboard which is h61. It has no USB 3.0. But, it has RX 570 graphic card. It also has outdated CPU: i5 3570. Its RAM is 2x8GB DDR3. Can I run oculus link with Oculus Quest 2 in this PC? If yes, how to do that?

Please help me

The best way to do this is get a pci-e usb expansion card.
Basically a card that slots into your motherboard like your gpu, and instead of display, it adds USB ports. You would need one that is USB 3 for optimal results.

Though I have heard you can use USB 2.0, it's just not as sharp and smooth.
These USB cards are not expensive (shouldn't be more than a few dollars.), so I think it's worth it.

Thanks! I was thinking of using AirLink by using 5Ghz pci-e wifi. Is it better than using USB 3.0 pci-e expansion card?

I have no experience with VR, so I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty certain that no. Wires are better than wireless in almost all cases.
Question is, if that worse wireless is good enough for you.
