You only need three USB ports for Rift out of the box, a fourth port only if you buy a third optional sensor. You don't need a usb2.0 at all, you can run headset and two sensors on usb 3.0 fine and if you buy a forth sensor it will automatically downgrade it to a usb2.0 with the included extension cable it comes with.[A $20 pci usb card can be purchased](https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Superspeed-Ports-PCI-Expansion/dp/B00B6ZCNGM) if there are any USB issues at all. Stating HDMI\"1.3\" as if it would be any different than any HDMI that would ship on a compatible graphics card is also a bit intimidating to those who would think '1.3' is something different. If your newer card happens to only have display-port (rare), or you are already using HDMI for your monitor and you don't have a second HDMI out, you can use an adapter to go displayport to hdmi to either the monitor or Rift.\r\n\r\nFor most people its only the $160+ graphics card that is the main upgrade needed.\r\n\r\n\u0026amp;#x200B;\r\n\r\n\u0026amp;#x200B;","subreddit_name":"oculus","author":"guruguys"},{"body":"$123 for a USB 3.0 PCI card?

Your PC specs are great for VR, and it will be a massive improvement from PSVR in all areas.\r\n\r\n\r\nYou may want to consider a RiftS-dedicated pci-e usb3 card for your PC to ensure optimal bandwidth and power is delivered to the Rift S such as below; this will improve performance and reliability. Most motherboard chipsets are not up to the task in this regard, so it's a great $20 investment many overlook. The one linked is known to be one of the best performers for Rift S. Note if you do get this don't install the inateck drivers, just use the Microsoft ones that auto load after installation: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B6ZCNGM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OVPxDbTW1ZJ2E","subreddit_name":"oculus","author":"ruinedxistenz"},{"body":"You need a usb hub my man.

My 1080 consumes 160W at most, and I've coupled that with a 95W (\\~120) CPU. Do you have something else? If you meant that it'll consume 450W in total with the addition of another 1080, which makes more sense, then you're totally fine as long as your PSU is of reputable quality.  \r\n\r\n\r\nAnyway to answer your question you can use any card from any brand so long as it has more than 4GB of VRAM and you can have the miner use the second card (or at least stop using your main card) when you're using it to do something intensive like say video editing or gaming or some such. You can have another card on the x4 PCI slot and it won't make a difference to mining performance really. However, in that case you do need to get a new PSU (or a 24-pin splitter to use both your and another PSU you may have laying around).
