• SteamVR.

• A high-end gaming PC:

  • See the OS compatibility table above.
  • NVIDIA GPU with NVENC support (GTX 1000 series or newer), or an AMD GPU with AMF VCE support, with the latest drivers.
  • On laptops with both an integrated GPU (Intel HD, AMD iGPU) and a dedicated GPU (NVIDIA GTX/RTX, AMD HD/R5/R7), make sure to assign the dedicated GPU (or "high performance graphics adapter") to ALVR and SteamVR for the best performance and compatibility.
