If your laptop specs don&#8217;t look similar to the ones I mentioned, it might not be VR-ready.

If your laptop&#8217;s specs are compatible, then it&#8217;s VR-ready, but if they aren&#8217;t, consider upgrading the device to use VR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_RAM_Do_I_Need_For_VR\"><\/span><strong>How Much RAM Do I Need For VR?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>8GB RAM is the least you&#8217;ll need to run VR on any computer. While having more than 8GB RAM is better, having less will likely not be enough to run any VR games.

If you&#8217;re on a budget, consider getting a laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD RX 470. The two graphics cards should handle any VR headset without problems.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Graphics-Card.jpg\" alt=\"Graphics Card\" class=\"wp-image-3499\" style=\"width:413px;height:310px\" width=\"413\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Graphics-Card.jpg 910w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Graphics-Card-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Graphics-Card-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Run_VR_On_A_Gaming_Laptop\"><\/span><strong>Can You Run VR On A Gaming Laptop?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from gaming PCs, a gaming laptop is also suitable for running VR.
