Thanks for the advice. If this doesn't work I'll just have to get myself a new system that can run the headset.

@VibrantNebulaFirst thing I checked for was a type C port. Laptop doesn't have one that I can see.

That's what I was afraid of. Oh well. This laptop is new enough I can get a decent price and just get a tower, like I've been meaning to, anyway.

I also realize there will be a performance hit for using a GPU due to CPU bandwidth being stretched thin and I'm willing to accept that over having to buy a new computer.

I got the vive cosmos without realizing it required a dp/mdp connection. My laptop does not have either port connection on it (I know, I was surprised to realize it myself since it's fairly new). I also understand that an HDMI to dp adapter would not support the system. I was wondering if using an external video card with a dp connection available would be a viable option and if so could you give me a recommendation for said card that would handle most games available (I have a feeling my GTX 1650 card might not quite cut it). I'd really hate to have to return the VR set but if I have nothing that can run it then that's where I'm at. Specs for reference: System Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
