    Hi @Matoros,

    Its USB-C port doesn't output video, but you can use the Acer Nitro 5 for VR if you use an HDMI-to-USB-C or HDMI-to-displayport adapter. Most games won't run smoothly enough to play in VR, but some games with relatively simple graphics would work well (beat saber, etc).

    So update to the Vr stuff, noone probably cares, but if there's someone who has the same question and wants first hand experience answer, here you go. My USB-C works perfectly with my oculus quest 2, no issues whatsoever. You can connect wirelessly and via cable just fine. I didnt have to use any kind of adapter surprisingly, jsut direct plug in.

    Did you use the official cable? I have a nitro57 model with 3060 gpu and I keep getting stuttering, with or without a direct cable. I've tried everything
