Rift S Hardware Setup
You're now ready to set up your Rift S hardware.

Update your Graphics Card Driver

We recommend updating your graphics card (GPU) driver to the latest public version.
If your Rift S hasn't arrived yet, you can save time later by updating your driver now.
This gives your Rift S the highest possible resolution, fastest responses and most
convincing VR (virtual reality) experience. The Oculus software will prompt you to
update your driver during setup if it's out of date.
For NVIDIA, update to the latest public version.
1. Install the NVIDIA GeForce Experience if you haven't already. This is NVIDIA's own software
designed to help you with driver updates.
2. On your Windows desktop, open the system tray in the bottom-right.
Note: You may need to click the upward-facing triangle to the left of your status icons, such as
Wi-Fi status, to open hidden icons.
3. Click the green NVIDIA icon.
4. Select Open NVIDIA GeForce Experience.
5. Open the Drivers tab.
6. Click Check for updates.
7. Download the current (64-bit) driver for your graphics card.
8. Choose the Express Install option and follow the prompts to complete the update.
9. The update process takes a few minutes.
10. The Oculus software will restart automatically after you finish updating your driver.
Note: If you're having issues, see our Rift S Hardware Troubleshooting page.
