It's a 5 year old game that is pretty well optimized. The best GPU at time of release was the 2080 Ti.

In my opinion, it's the greatest VR game out there. For those who remember how revolutionary Half Life was to 2D gaming, Alyx is that to VR. I almost never play the same game twice and yet this one I've played through three times. You actually look down the sights of a gun to aim. You use cover. You have to reload in realistic gestures. So much to love about this game!

For playing this on Quest 3, what would the minimum GPU be? The Steam requirement looks too low.

Wondering if I should wait and see if this will be bundled with the Steam Frame. My Odyssey+ is dusty and I am not exactly sure if I can stream to my Quest 3 easily.

I've had great experience with Steam VR and the Quest 3 and it was easy to set up. Download Steam Link on the Meta store. If you want to maximize wireless performance get a Wi-Fi 6E router but regular Wi-Fi 6 works well too.

This will not work with Quest standalone. You need a capable PC to stream it from.

When I first got my Oculus Quest, I played this on my gtx 1060 6gb model and it was playable with stutters here and there. I'm not sure if it was because I was playing it wirelessly or because of the gpu, but it was playable. Not well, but playable.

Such a great game! I've been holding off playing it all the way through until I get the OLED panel for my Pimax Crystal Super. It already looks amazing though!!

The "Recommended" requirement for Steam Link on the quest is a RTX 2070. https://help.steampowered.com/en/...-9135-38A4

Note that many people have reported a smoother experience with VR Desktop

No doubt it will be bundled with Frame since they've been bundling it with literally any Index-related purchase more recently
