Acer Nitro 5 with Meta Quest 3

[linebacker]

Hi All

I have been thinking about getting into flying DCS in VR, I've never tried VR so really I have no idea on what to expect. My gaming laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 which has an RTX 3060 chip in it. I hoping someone has tried this model laptop with the Meta Quest 3 headset.

Does this laptop work well with the Meta Quest 3 headset? Anyone?

As always, Thanks

Maybe you will get it to work. But it will not give you a fair impression of what flight sim/DCS is in VR, and neither will it give you an impression of what the Quest 3 can do. 
 

Personally I would not bother with that laptop.

If this was a tower with that card and something along the lines of an Intel 10th gen or better or an AMD 5800x or better and 32GB you would be at about the minimal enjoyment level for some and not for others. But the laptop with a 3060 is going to be pretty difficult to recommend. 

But, the Q3 will work, just not in DCS so maybe something less demanding like WT or it will still be just fun standalone playing other games.

I use pretty low settings, and you can see my specs in my signature.

Tower PC, 10400, 3060ti, 64GB of RAM, Quest 3 here. I agree.
