egolikeness Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Hey, What adapter should I use to get from I guess USB to DP with a Cosmos Elite? I get the impression we can't use HDMI? Thank you.
HackPerception Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 @egolikeness - Are you in the 1050/1050Ti variant of those laptops. The 1050/1050Ti generally isn't VR compatible at all, let alone with current gen HMDs. The 1050Ti is a notorious edge case with first-gen HDMI driven headsets like the original Vive - it really would depend on the system it was installed upon. That said, it's below the modern minimum requirements of a 1060 for the first generation Vive and would certainly be below the system requirements of the Vive Cosmos which are at minimum a GTX1060 (but ideally higher as that is just the hardware minimum and doesn't factor into account modern VR apps which are getting pretty demanding. There are a number of 505D variants - can't isolate it down further without the full model number. That said I suspect all of these, including the 2060 variant would be incompatible with current gen HMDs as non of them seem to have native Displayport 1.2+ support. If you have the 1050Ti I probably wouldn't even recommend trying a first gen HMD, it's simply about half to about two thirds of the transistor count you need to run VR.
HackPerception Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 @egocentryczny And when I say "modern HMDs" I mean Pimax, Index, Rift S, ect... None of these can be driven by that laptop line if the spec sheet is accurate. That's a very entry level gaming laptop made for casual games and games like Fortnite.
egolikeness Posted April 8, 2020 Author Posted April 8, 2020 Are you sure about that? I mean, these are billed as "VR Ready"https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ASUS-TUF-Gaming-FX505DD-DT-DU/ Just making sure we are talking about the same thing.
egolikeness Posted April 8, 2020 Author Posted April 8, 2020 I'm running Doom Eternal on Max settings. So, it's far better than just a machine for fortnight.
egolikeness Posted April 8, 2020 Author Posted April 8, 2020 I'm just making sure we are on the same page.🙂
HackPerception Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 @egocentryczny 505D brings up older models. Which GPU model do you have?
HackPerception Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 @egolikeness So that'd fortunately run first gen HMDs (Vive, Oculus CV1, first gen WMR) but I'm not seeing any documentation that says that this laptop line has Displayport 1.2+ support or that the USB-ports have Displayport capacity that's driven by the dGPU. You can try running the question by Asus but I unfortunately think you're limited to first gen HDMI-driven headsets with this laptop.
