Before you get started, make sure that your Rift S and PC firmware
and software are up to date.
Your Oculus Rift S uses USB 3.0 and DisplayPort connectors to
connect to your computer. We've listed the different options that you
can and can't use to connect your Rift S below:
Supported Connections
DisplayPort Connection:
You can connect your Oculus Rift S to any
DisplayPort that is directly connected to a discrete GPU.
Mini DisplayPort Connection:
You can connect your Oculus Rift S to any
Mini DisplayPort that is directly connected to a discrete GPU using the
mDP → DP adapter included with your Rift S.
Unsupported Connections
Mini DisplayPort Connection with Third-party Adapter:
Currently, the
only mDP → DP adapter certified to work is the one provided with your Rift
S. If other adapters are used, we cannot guarantee functionality or
performance.
HDMI Connection with Third-party Adapter:

this article to include any supported adapters. Until then, we don't
recommend trying to use Rift S with any PC or laptop that does not have a
DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort.
USB Type-C Connection with Third-party Adapter:
Currently, we cannot
make any recommendations for USB-C → DP. If this changes, we'll update
this article to include any supported adapters.
In order to ensure basic functionality, any display port used to connect
Rift S needs to be directly connected to a discrete GPU.
How do I know if my PC is compatible with Oculus Rift S?
The Oculus Compatibility Tool confirms on-board hardware specs
such as GPU, CPU and memory, but cannot detect functional
configurations such as DisplayPorts or Mini DisplayPorts being
directly connected to a discrete GPU. Once you have confirmed that
your PC has either a DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort, you can use the
tool to check the remaining hardware specs for compatibility.
We also recommend reviewing our list of Oculus-ready Certified PCs
when looking for a new Rift S-compatible PC and/or laptop.
