Oculus Quest link

[MarnixRS]

Hello,

Next november Oculus link will launch. They say that you need a high quality usb c to usb c cable for it to work. My gpu doens't support usb c. So can i use a cable that is usb c to hdmi? Usb c goes in the headset and the hdmi cable goes in my video card.

I don't think it'll work, as I think the connection is doing more than just passing through the video signal. 

If you can find a usb c to hdmi/dp+usb3 splitter (if such a thing existss) that could potentially work? But again can't be sure. 

Last time I checked the nvidia drivers for newer cards contains a usb c driver as well.

allright, i have a gtx 1660 ti now. I think i need to upgrade to a rtx 2070 then. Thanks for your help.

I could be wrong, but I'd believe that they will sell some sort of adapter or include one. You probably won't hear about it until launch. It would be stupid of them to limit it strictly to systems with usb c.

yes thats true, we will wait till the launch of oculus link.

It just needs any USB3 cable, and that does NOT connect to the GPU, just any USB port. It streams video over USB and doesn't use the USB-C display modes. I got myself a 5m A to A USB3 extension, then plug a short A to C cable to it. Works great.
