Oculus Rift S help

Hi guys,

I bought a Rift S a few years back from the members market and it was a decent piece of kit back then. I have since sold my pc and im looking to get back into pc games and a bit of VR. I used to run it with a 3600X, 16gb ram and a gtx 1070. Will it be ok running on the newer gen cards say a 4070??

Thanks in advance

It should work fine on modern graphics card. BUT it is massively out of date compared to even the Quest 2. You won't get much benefit from the faster cards apart from being able to supersample to make it a bit sharper.

I have a quest 2 and still use the Rift S for some seated stuff, though the lack of wires on the Quest is game changer.
Works perfect with a 4080, was ok with a 3070, so a 4070 should be pretty good.
