Squigeon Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I ran the Quick Compatibility Check you can download from their website (which you can find here: https://www.vive.com/us/ready/). And it says that my graphics card "May not work well with Vive". Does that mean it won't work, or can I still use one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaTaPulT Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Unfortunately, VR requires a pretty beefy graphics card, bare minimum recommended is a GTX 970 (or AMD equivalent). Intel graphics are motherboard (onboard) video graphics I believe thus this would be seriously under powered. In Example..... when I got my Vive, I was running it with a GTX-980, I noticed that certain VR software would drop frames here and there and I couldn't set super sampling higher than default (1.0). A couple of weeks ago, I broke the bank and bought a GTX 1080 Ti and now everything is smooth with both application and compositor super sampling set to 1.5 which makes things look better and the text easier to read.

Squigeon Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Okay, thank you. I'll see if I can afford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaTaPulT Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Best bet is to look on Steam, there is software on there that will check your computer system and let you know what parts are NOT ready for VR. This is handy since it'll let you know where you stand system wise. The Steam software is called "Steam VR Performance Test" do search for it on Steam. :) Regards: Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Mortex08 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I don't suppose that an Intel HD Graphics 630 would make a difference then would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Those onboard graphics systems are well below the minimum spec and aren't really designed for gaming. I would not recommend purcahsing a Vive if you have onboard graphics. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Claren Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Is it absolutely impossible with this onboard chips (like HD 530)? Actually I am between old (good offer, sold) and "new" card (used from Ebay etc.). And my actual primary game "Rec Room" do not need much power.

ola Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hi guys, i have a laptop with a Graphic card intel graphic 530, can anyone tell me is there any external graphic card I can use to make sure that the VR glasses would work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 @Tobias Claren - VR is 100% incompatible with Intel onboard graphics. To my knowledge, the only onboard graphics chip set that's compatible with any sort of VR is the AMD Vega M but even then, it can only first gen HMDs and less complex apps. Rec room is low spec so it might work on a Vega M but overall you can't get a Vive to work on any onboard chipset with the exception of the Vega M. @ola Please see my response here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
