hi guys , i just picked up an acer predator laptop with a rtx 2060 in it , this laptop is gonna be a vr pc for a new vr game that we are gonna display at the milan games week in italy. the problem is not with the laptop , the problem is that we need to display the vr game on 2 4k tvs as well on the vr headset , you think im gonna be better of buying an external gpu enclosure like the cheap omen one and throw in a rtx 2080 or just hope that the sistem dosent over heat ? yes, unfortunatly i cannot bring a desktop pc .

thank you for the replyes

Wouldnt it (the games) still be rendered as the resolution of the vr headset with the 4k monitors just acting as a mirrored display?
