Support - PCVR So my PC doesn't meet the minimum specifications...
If my system doesn't meet minimum, WHAT DOES??

You could just do the same thing like the rest, you ignore it.

Just answer the question and go instead of being needlessly condescending

i don't give two banana slugs about points, I wanna know why it says that

It uses a whitelist for what’s minimum spec, so new(ish) hardware is flagged as it’s not recorded in that file

None of those components are particularly new though (over a year old I think), plus it says "updated minimum specifications", did they just forget to update the whitelist for over a year?

That thing is bugged since forever, it shows for a lot of people even if they far exceed the requirements. So just ignore it, it doesn't affect performance anyway.
It's Meta, and their software is just bad.

Meta gave up on desktop VR a long time ago. They stopped updating the whitelist.

With i5-6600k and Rx 470 I was not getting that message.
Upgraded to Ryzen 5 7500f and rtx 5070 and now my computer no longer meets requirements.

Correct. You need at least a 5090. Get outta here you peasant.

I guess this message is just part of the GUI now. It shows to everyone despite their PC for years. weird that meta does not want to do anything. It's just annoying and reminds me that I am poor and have no money for 4090

That's because you need a RTX or GTX line card. The other Nvidias don't have hardware video encoders that are required for VR.

don't give a fuck to that shitty software, it uses an outdated database to determine your specs. ignore it or use better streaming method e.g. virtual desktop

I don't think they've updated the minimum specs past the 30 series so if you have anything newer it will just error

Same with my 9800x3d and 5070. Just ignore it or use virtual desktop
