Can I Run Virtual Desktop Classic?
Virtual Desktop is an application developed for the Oculus Rift / Rift S, HTC Vive, Valve Index and WMR headsets that lets you use your computer in VR. This app is NOT for the Oculus Quest or Pico headsets. You can browse the web, watch movies, Netflix or even play games on a giant virtual screen.

Can you run Virtual Desktop Classic?
Free up space before installing Virtual Desktop Classic: it needs roughly 700 GB of SSD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, NVidia GTX 640 or 980M or ATI HD 7000/Rx 200 and 4 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: Storage
Large install. Virtual Desktop Classic needs about 700 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 5.27x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.97x |
| 4K | Runs well | 1.32x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
