Accell USB-C VR Adapter - USB-C to HDMI & USB Compatible with Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality Headsets Including HTC Vive Samsung Odyssey+ Dell Visor Lenovo Explorer HP Acer & Asus WMR

Too bad this particular product is currently unavailable as of writing. I do not have a desktop discreet GPU with a thunderbolt/usb-c 40gbps+ port builtin. What I have instead is a motherboard that has a thunderbolt chipset that can take displayport *in*, and can push the data from that out usb-c ports by connecting the DP-in to an available DP socket on the GPU. When I first bought this, I had a AMD Radeon Vega 56, and it limited me to 60hz. But now that I have a AMD Radeon 6700 XT, it's uncapped, running at the full 90hz my Windows Mixed Reality headset supports. If there are other products like this: so long as you have a modern (RDNA or RTX as of writing) GPU, ideally with USB-C directly on the GPU, or a motherboard like Gigabyte's Vision D to route video from it over USB-C, this absolutely is a great option for both extending the reach of your VR headset and consolidating cables.

Bought this to use on my Samsung Odessey+ Vr windows mixed reality device. I used in on my brother's computer, that had a USB C out on the motherboard with a displayport passthrough (specifically an ASUS Proart B550) and it worked perfectly. On my AMD 7900 XTX (and from my research after the fact, most AMD GPU's with a USB C out) the video works, but the USB power delivery from the card isn't high enough and you get an error.Fortunately, for my use case, my PC is high on a shelf, and this adapter does still work to extend the HDMI down to where I can use the USB port on my monitor.

Let me start by just saying this has been my experience, it doesn't guarantee this won't work as it seems for some people it has helped. Unfortunately for me this did not provide what I needed it for. I got a new computer that had an HDMI port but that connects directly to the integrated graphics. The Beefier GPU I needed for oculus only had a USB-C port for connections, which obviously wouldn't work with the standard HDMI for the original Oculus rift. The rift would turn on but run at about a whooping 5 frames per second when using the dedicated graphics card through HDMI. I tried this hoping it would solve my problem and for about 5 seconds I thought it did. The headset turned on and the picture was clear and responsive! for about 5 seconds that is. I then noticed red horizontal lines flashing randomly across the screen before the headset went dark and reset itself. At this point the headset goes into a continuous cycle of off and on every second making it unusable. Just to make sure it wasn't an issue with the headset I used my old computer and it still worked perfectly fine.I really tried to make this work. In fact I spent over two months communicating back and forth with Oculus rift support trying just about everything I could to make it work, which is why my review comes so late. I reinstalled drivers, deactivated drivers, fiddled with BIOS settings... Anything you could find on google or from Oculus support itself I tried. None of it ever got the headset to work on this computer with this adapter. Sadly it still does not work and it seems like if I ever want to use VR on my new computer I'll have to get a newer headset. I'm not sure exactly who is at fault, whether it's the graphics card drivers that don't work, or oculus' drivers, or this adapter itself. All I can say is it did not exactly do what I expected and so it's just kind of a waste for me at this point. But even though I can't use it doesn't mean it might not work for someone else. I wanted to rate it lower, but that didn't seem fair given how many variables could be causing the oculus rift not to work properly.

I upgraded my GPU and now need my oculus rift to plug into a USB C port. This being the only real option on the market and having great reviews, I figured I'd order it. It worked amazingly well the first time I plugged it in. Plug and play, worked fine.Now I get an error message saying no hdmi connected every time I want to use my rift. There is a way to fix it, but it's annoying as hell. I have to unplug and replug the connector to the my video card EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Then it works fine again until my pc goes to sleep, restarts, or I close the oculus software. It may be partially an oculus software problem, lord knows it's a buggy POS, but I never had this problem before using the adapter. Sadly it's literally the only option so I guess I'm keeping it. If you have any choice I'd stay away, but sadly that doesn't seem to be an option.

I needed the HDMI on my RTX 2080 for another device (a drawing tablet) but it was occupied by the Oculus Rift. Meanwhile, there was an unused VirtuaLink USB-C connector on the GPU available. The Accell adapter was the solution to this very problem. Not only it freed up the HDMI for my drawing tablet, I also freed up a USB3 port on the motherboard, and it put the RTX 2080's Virtua Link connector to good use. Plus, the extra cable length can help you getting a bit more reach for the Rift headset (which I personally don't need as I actually do most of my VR sitting at my desk, but still).It worked immediately, no driver installation required. Seems like the reviewers who have had problems with it, have attempted to connect it to a basic USB-C port. It only works with a Virtua Link USB C connector on the GPU.UPDATE: I recently got a Samsung Odyssey+ VR HMD, and I can attest that this adapter works fine with that too.

This works great with the three headsets in the title on an Asus RTX 2070 video card. Make sure you plug into the USB C port on the video card! When initially plugged in, it will install and should show up in your task bar as an ejectable USB device. You will need to reboot first, then attach your headset by plugging in the HDMI cable first, then the USB. It runs a little warm, so make sure to keep that in mind and do not leave your headset plugged in when not in use. One other thing, anytime you update your video card drivers the USB C embedded driver will also update and you will need to reboot. ( you should reboot after video card driver updates anyways )
