Quest Techie: A Weekend With Oculus Link
Hot off the heels of my Quest Techie: A Night With Oculus Link comes my follow up adventures where I take Link for a weekend ride with SteamVR, Oculus Rift games and some hardware discovery. Let’s rock!
Since I discussed exactly what the Oculus Link is within the body of my last article, I’m going to give you a short summary this time:
Oculus Link turns your Oculus Quest into an Oculus Rift. A tethered solution (but no sensors or crazy cabling) that allows your VR-ready PC to play pretty much ALL PCVR games (SteamVR, Oculus Store) on your Quest.
There — that was easy.
My PC VR System and Cable
During my evening with Link, I had an Intel i5–4460 Processor (four cores running at 3.2Ghz), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, 16GB RAM — all standard generation SSD drives (no M2 or crazy fast technology like that). USB3.0 PCIe card (prior use was for the Oculus Rift sensors).
I have since upgraded my CPU to something a little stylish; a higher-end motherboard, an i7–4930K, six core beastie running at 3.4Ghz. I’m using better memory, too.
