In today's video, we are renewing a classic on this channel. We will be taking a look at playing PCVR under minimum requirements. Let's say you have a Quest 2, and a PC,. however that PC is not VR Ready, but you would still like to play some PCVR. Well, today I will show you that you can play PCVR on something like the Quest 2, if you have a PC under minimum requirements. I will show you how to bypass the Oculus software and a way of boosting your performance using this method! I hope you enjoy this video :D

    I was hyped for 0.0005 seconds until I realised my pc can't run Geometry Dash at a decent fps lol
  • @qwerty555_
    I find it quite weird how I still watch these videos after selling my quest. Ig 5 years of vr and this channels awesome experiments are really what makes me enjoy this stuff
  • @eurodmyt
    8:45 I've actually finished the HLA campaign on Integrated Radeon Vega 8 Graphics with ALVR. It was.. very blurry, but still a bit more enjoyable than PlutoSphere on a 2.4 GHz connection in Eastern Europe
  • @lawnmowergirl
    Really loving your Aries kick you’ve been on about nodding and exploring tech. Keep it coming!
  • I loved this video, helped so much with my system, plus the new visuals lately are so appealing! Keep it up man!
  • @ohnobro3770
    Quest 2 on rtx 3060 works pretty well, I watch these videos to support the hobby 🎉
  • Awesome! Thanks for the video! As a developer the more people can experience PCVR the better. I was able to crowdfund getting a minimum spec SteamVR system back in 2016 with a amd 290. However it was pretty much unusable for Quest & link cable. Was able to get it to sort of work hacking at some of the settings in the config files but pretty much had to wait in line overnight to pick up an upgrade during the pandemic to get a decent gpu at msrp. Be good to have a workflow for people who don't have recent gpu can try our stuff outside of events we're showcasing at.
  • Finally Old Mystical Is Back Glad to see you 😊 ..... Mystry! You were missed
  • @CaptainRyMM
    Thanks for the shopping list! 😄 I hate to admit that the only game I really truly WANT to play is minecraft VR. But having the ability to plug in and play "almost" anything would blow me away! For instance I'd love to play vertigo 1 and 2. And there's just so much more you can do with a PC then you can with stand alone.
  • As a PCVR user myself this is really cool mystical. I started playing PCVR in February 2023 when I got my gaming PC. PCVR was only a dream of mine since I got my quest 2 back in 2020. It is a cool experience trust me.
  • As always, great video :3
  • @Cocomonk.
    My problem with Steam VR is that when I launch bigger games like Phasmophobia beat saber I can’t see out of one eye or it’s just a black and white screen I also use the same GTX 760. Oculus quest link cable too because virtual desktop is too laggy. Also, games like gorilla tag launch and work perfectly fine
  • @nardewascalling
    my pc can run pcvr pretty decently. I ran into a lot of issues with fps and latency at first when i first got the headset, but a friend of mine gave me a good suggestion that increased my fps drastically which is unplugging my main monitor while using the headset. After doing that, i was able to run games at approximately 90 fps
  • @CorreeHoey
    I'd love to see how this would work with some flatscreen to vr mods like L4D2 or even GTA V. Im Running a 4090 finally but my older PC is long in the tooth with a gtx 970. Gave that PC to my wife. Would love to have a solid PCVR experience. And yes, she's going to use my 4090 rig lol. That's if I ever inch around to trying these methods out on the 970 build. Great stuff!
  • @Kk_Rinix
    I connected my non pcvr ready pc to Ethernet and tried to play vrchat and it purfectly worked I played over 6 hours and I had no crashes no anything! But ofc I played on the lowest quality without the add on that u showed ! Today I’ll prob try to make the quality better to see how far I can go! But ye im really happy, I also tried with out Ethernet and i would crash, it only worked one time! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
  • I ran my Q2 with VD on an i3 9100f and a GTX960 4GB. Ran really well on Potato mode and SteamVR resolution of 900p. VRChat was a much better experience like this than in Standalone.
  • I played vr with a 1060 and a 15 year old cpu and it was a horrible experience yet some of the best times I’ve spent in vr😂
  • @Brand0n555
    I used to play VR on a 3gb 1060 until about a year ago. I would recommend just putting asynchronous spacewarp on all the time instead of automatic, it helps create less lag spikes since it will be capping your fps. It definitely makes games on the verge of being playable much more enjoyable. This obviously only applies in virtual desktop on the quest 2,pro and 3 but most people have a quest 2 anyways so it should help some. other than that try to close all the background apps you can and if you can get a slight overclock in msi afterburner a few extra frames always help. Also if you can set the target fps to 72hz which is the same as the quest 1 then with asynchronous spacewarp your gpu only really needs to be capable of 36fps rather than the 45 you'd need if you use spacewarp and 90fps mode
  • I played half of Half Life Alyx on a GTX 750 Ti with 2 gigs of VRAM and 8 gigs of PC RAM, and it was def playable! It obviously wasn't sitting around at 90 FPS but it wasn't below 30 either, for sure. VRC ran even better although I only interacted with like 5-6 people max in a couple private worlds so I doubt it would've held well if there were any more.
  • Last year i was playing pcvr games on my 1650. It performed pretty well with stutters here and there. Games like Bonelabs/Blades and Sorcery/Half Life Alyx would especially drop frames when they were loading in to certain areas. but overall it was good enough lol. Glad to say ive upgraded since then haha
