what are the system specifications? maybe you need stronger GPU?

You see what I mean is that the laptop has one of those small stickers that says Oculus ready. It has a 1050ti

From what I read, the Nitro has a 1050, but the Oculus says it needs a 1050 Ti

The existence of a sticker does not automagically mean the hardware is sufficient.

I actually have the nitro with the 1050 ti. There are many versions out there.

USAFRet I understand what you mean but I don't think they would put it there for no reason.

"No reason" ? Marketing.
It worked on you, didn't it? You bought it.

Just like "Vista Ready" systems when Vista was first released. "Ready", as in it booted up. Sort of.

Or, Nvidia is lying to you, and your stuff is actually sufficient.
One or the other is not quite truthful.


Have you seen evidence of other people with the exact same system being able to use that VR?

I was just being curious why Nvidia is saying that. I know it CAN handle VR
