About
VRHow is a free tool that checks whether your PC can run VR games and headsets. You select your headset, connection type, and game, then the tool compares your PC's GPU, CPU and RAM against official requirements from Meta, Valve, Sony and game developers. Every specification links to its source.
The site indexes 57 VR headsets, 108 games and 84 GPUs with verified requirements. You can explore detailed specs for each headset including panel type, pixels per degree, lens design, field of view, weight and tracking systems. The database covers Meta Quest models, PlayStation VR2, Valve Index, HTC Vive, Pimax, Apple Vision Pro and older hardware.
Beyond the compatibility checker, VRHow offers setup guides for common problems like stick drift and Air Link latency, direct hardware comparisons between popular headsets, and game requirement lookups for SteamVR and standalone titles. Results are a guide rather than a guarantee, since driver updates and individual settings affect real performance.
VRHow cites every specification directly to vendor sources and developer documentation. The interactive diagnostic tool lets you test your exact PC configuration against game requirements. The site covers 57 headsets including discontinued models and upcoming hardware, with technical details like optics and tracking architecture that most VR tools skip.
