I have a PC with Geforce RTX 2070 video card which seems to have 3 ports. I have an Oclus Quest which specifies specs for its USB-C Link cable for wired connection to the PC. Whats my best option for connecting this to the graphics card? I will need an adapter for either DVI, HDMI or the last port to USB-C. Which port is the best to use, and which adapter is best to get to connect to the Oculus Link cable?

  • Are you sure adapters to plain video ports will work? I'm pretty sure VR headsets need two-way communication, they send sensor data back to PC over USB. IIRC Quest is quite picky about its USB-C cables.

  • I have no idea, hope to get some information if this is possible with asking here. Is there enough information on the specs page for the oculus quest to answer this?

  • Well, the photo on the page you've linked clearly shows a USB-C to USB-C cable. It also specifies that it needs a "USB 3.2 gen 1 type C" cable, not a USB-to-video cable. Buy the official one if you want to avoid headaches.

Oculus quest doesn't use a native video signal from your GPU. Instead, it uses software on your PC to convert the video data into a data stream and send it over USB to the headset. You can just use a USB A to USB C adapter to use it on a normal desktop PC as long as you have an actual USB 3.0 port.

Edit: There's also an entry on the official Oculus support pages.
