MemphisBelle Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hey there, I´ve got a short question concerning Oculus Rift Connection to USB 3.1 only Mainboards just like the Asrock Z370 Extreme 4. This is the one that I purchased (not yet delivered) and now I wonder if the Rift/Sensors will even work on USB 3.1 ports as there are no USB 3.0 or even USB 2.0 Ports anymore. I also googled around a Little and stumbled about some Posts where Users told that it would work with 3.1 only, thus I would like to know if some of you guys have particular experiences with this may be with the Z370 Extreme Board as well.

Thanks regards Memphis When I had a motherboard with built-in USB 3.0 ports, even with a self-powered USB hub, sometimes I had trouble with the HMD going dark, or my HOTAS being intermittent. So, I bought a dedicated USB 3.0 card with 5 ports on it made by Inateck, and those problems went away. I recently got an ASRock Z370 motherboard with 3.1 ports only and moved the Inateck card over to that. It still works perfectly with no dropouts. I know that doesn't quite address your question, but if the 3.1 ports on the mobo don't work, this is a good fallback option for you. The Rift pulls a lot of juice on the USB interface, so its usually best to have it on an independently powered USB port/hub/card anyway.

MemphisBelle Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) So, I bought a dedicated USB 3.0 card with 5 ports on it made by Inateck, and those problems went away. Thanks for your reply, luckily this Card sits in my PC right now as well. But I never have used it so far, so I´ll give it a try. That sounds all pretty promissing, I really hope that it will all work well. The Impression that I had today when I was VR in the Hornet was simply a blast. I´m so exited what it will look like when I have proper VR ready Hardware...currently its not :) Edited June 23, 2018 by MemphisBelle DCS-Tutorial-Collection BlackSharkDen - Helicopter only Specs:: ASrock Z790 Pro RS; Intel i5-13600K @5,1Ghz; 64GB DDR5 RAM; RTX 3080 @10GB; Corsair RMX Serie 750; 2x SSD 850 EVO 1x860 EVO 500GB 1x nvme M.2 970 EVO 1TB; 1x nvme M.2 980 Pro 2TB+ 3 TB HDD Hardware: Oculus Rift S; HOTAS Warthog; Saitek Rudder Pedals, K-51 Collective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 The Innatek powered USB 3.0 card has been working great for me also, got it from the start when I got the Rift. Have two sensors and Rift plugged into it.

MemphisBelle Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Have two sensors and Rift plugged into it. How have you placed the two sensors to provide 360 degree capturing? Next to each other ( facing both Sensors the Gaming Area) or in front of each other (both sensors facing against each other accross the Gaming Area)?

My two sensors are on my desk app 5 ft apart angled slightly in facing me.
