I recently move to a more powerful gaming system, my vr worked on my old system, but when I have everything hooked up to the new system the remotes won't show up when I have the helmet on, and the buttons do nothing. The Oculus software says they're connected, but steam vr says they're not. I've already ran the repair tool, tried a full uninstall and reinstall, taken the batteries out for a while, replacing them... I plugged back into my old system as well, just to make sure, and the tracking still worked, so I'm not entirely sure what to do. I contacted oculus support a week ago and still no response. Specs: Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600x 6 core processor, 3600 Mhz Motherboard: ROG Strix B550-F Gaming (Wifi) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, 8 gig Ram: T-Force Delta RGB DDR4 16 gig OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, So a nifty little trick was made aware to me the other day and I never knew it existed but it has made the world of difference to how things look within the Oculus Rift (IMO). Using the now included Oculus Debug Tool you can "override" how sharp the image is within the headset and crank it the f up. Give it a try, honestly, it works (at least in my opinion, edges, text and general images look much sharper than they do if I turn it back down) THIS DOES NOT BREAK ANYTHING AND IS NOT A PERMANENT CHANGE, IF YOUR CARD CAN HANDLE IT, DO IT. So to start off, browse to wherever your Oculus folder is within Program Files (So for example mine was C:\ > Program Files > Oculus) within their go to Support > Oculus-Diagnostics. and within their you should see the OculusDebugTool.exe. Right click and run this as administrator or right click > properties > compatibility and tick at the bottom "Always run this program as administrator" This will open the wonderful tool, now this may look like a lot of scary settings but it's fine, you only need three. Firstly, I would suggest disabling "Asynchronous spacewarp" It sounds super technical but all it means is that by default if your rift is experiencing frame drops or is struggling it will slow down to 45 fps instead of the optimal 90 (or 95 I forget) fps. If you disable this it will never do this and just run as best as it can and I find this is a better experience. EDIT: Asynchronous spacewarp, in a nutshell, your player's movement and any camera movement are taken into consideration and, if the game drops below a suitable frame rate, ASW kicks in to produce 'fake' frames that fill in. The result is an all-around smoother experience. This essentially means if your PC is not up to the task of smashing VR, it gives it a fighting chance. If your PC is already beast you might not notice this at all. So I would suggest turning this on and off in testing and see what difference this makes! Now, at the top you will see "Pixels Per Display Pixel Override" this is the bad boy, anything above 1 will be an increase (so 1.1 > 1.2 > 1.3 etc.) I run mine at 1.5 because anything over that my 1070 will not be able to push 95 fps solid, it will hover around 75-80. So I keep it there. A good tip if your really bothered about the frame rate. In the tool you will see the option "Visible HUD" if you turn it onto "Performance" it will bring up a little box in your headset and this will show you the current FPS and the performance headroom. (For me the performance headroom doesn't make sense, even when I've read up and had it explained to me, what I see on the graph just doesn't match what i'm, actually seeing....if that makes sense) So I put this on after every increase to the sharpness and run my most graphically demanding VR games (For me it was Robo Recall and The Climb) and see what kinda frame rates I'm getting, if it was stable and solid or stable 90-95, I turned it up, when it started to struggle with that I turned it back down. And that's it! Job done! I hope this helps anyone at all because for me I now never play VR without doing this. NOTES: YOU NEED TO OPEN THIS TOOL AND MAKE THE SHARPNESS CHANGE BEFORE OPENING UP THE RIFT SOFTWARE OR ANY GAMES. YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THE ENTIRE PROCESS EVERY TIME (I now have a shortcut to it, open it, put 1.5 in the sharpness, minimize it and then open the Rift software and start playing)

I am running a setup with a ryzen five 2600x, 8 gigs of ram, and a GTX 1060 Could I run an oculus rift, with these games: The climb Onward Beatsaber Blades and sorcery Bridge Crew Any input is much appreciated

I'm planning to buy an Oculus Rift and I need to make sure that it will work on my PC. My specs: Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3 3.40GHz 16GB RAM GTX 960 2GB

I just bought an Oculus Rift and it is arriving today and, right now I have a PC with a GTX 960 (with Intel i5 6500) and, a Laptop wth a GTX 1050 (MSI GS 63 7RD Stealth) and was wondering witch one would run vr games better? and I am also thinking if I should upgrade my PC's GTX 960 to a GTX 1060?
