Dixotomia PC Requirements and Supported VR Headsets

4 MIN READDEEP MATRIX

The minimum PC for Dixotomia is Windows 10, an Intel i3-6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 470. On PC the game supports OpenXR headsets, with Rift S, Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S and Pro (connected to a PC), Pico 4, Pico 4 Pro and Valve Index named on the Steam page. If you own a Quest and no PC, the Meta Quest store has a standalone version instead.

What are Dixotomia's minimum PC requirements?

Part Minimum
Operating system Windows 10
Processor Intel i3-6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
Memory 8 GB RAM
Graphics NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 470

These are the figures published for the game. A minimum is the lowest hardware the developer lists, so treat it as a starting point and not as a promise about frame rate or graphics settings. No recommended specification is published, and this guide does not give one or quote any frame rates.

Store pages are the source of truth if anything changes, so check the Steam page for the current list.

Which VR headsets does Dixotomia support?

The Steam version lists OpenXR and these named headsets:

Headset How it fits
Meta Quest 2 Connected to a PC
Meta Quest 3 Connected to a PC
Meta Quest 3S Connected to a PC
Meta Quest Pro Connected to a PC
Pico 4 Listed on the Steam page
Pico 4 Pro Listed on the Steam page
Valve Index Listed on the Steam page
Rift S Listed on the Steam page
Other OpenXR headsets OpenXR is listed, so test with the free demo

OpenXR is an open standard that many PC VR headsets use. If your headset is not named but works through OpenXR, check the store page and try the free demo before you buy.

How do Quest headsets connect to a PC?

A Quest needs a connection to your PC to run the Steam version. There are three common ways:

  • Link. A USB cable between the headset and the PC. It rules out Wi-Fi problems.
  • Air Link. Wireless over your Wi-Fi network. There is no cable, but your router matters.
  • Steam Link. Valve's app, which streams SteamVR from your PC over your network.

If the picture stutters, try the cable first. It is the simplest way to find out whether the problem is the connection or the PC.

Do you need a PC at all?

Only for the Steam version. The Meta Quest store version is standalone, which means it runs on the headset itself and the PC requirements above do not apply to it. Check that store page for the Quest models it supports.

If you cannot decide between the two, Dixotomia on Quest or Steam walks through the choice by headset, PC and tolerance for setup.

How can you check whether your PC meets the minimums?

You do not need special software. Windows has everything you need:

  1. Press the Windows key and R, type dxdiag and press Enter. The System tab shows your operating system, processor and memory.
  2. Open the Display tab in the same window. It shows the name of your graphics card.
  3. Compare each item with the minimum table. If the Windows version, memory, processor and graphics card all match or beat it, you meet the minimum on paper.
  4. Update your graphics driver from NVIDIA or AMD, then restart.
  5. Install your headset's PC software and connect the headset. Confirm that SteamVR or the headset's own software can see it.
  6. Download the free demo and play a short session. Watch for stutter, and for any discomfort.

The last step matters most. A spec sheet cannot tell you how your particular PC, cable or router and headset behave together, and the demo can.

For a longer walk-through, read how to check if your PC can run VR. If you are shopping for hardware, what PC you need for VR explains the parts in plain language.

What does the minimum list leave out?

The list gives you the lowest hardware the game is published for. It does not tell you your frame rate, which graphics preset suits you, or how a particular headset connection will behave. Those depend on your own setup.

In VR in general, the graphics card tends to do the heaviest work, with the processor and memory behind it. That is general PC VR experience and not a statement about one game, but it is why the graphics card is often the first part people check.

What if your PC falls short of the minimum?

You have three sensible options:

  • Upgrade the weakest part. The dxdiag check shows which item misses the minimum, and that is the one to replace first.
  • Use the standalone version. If you own a Quest, the Meta Quest store version needs no PC.
  • Run the demo anyway. If your PC is only slightly under the line, the free demo shows you how it really behaves, at no cost.

Whatever you decide, do it before you buy the full game, not after.

What kind of game are you checking for?

Dixotomia is a single-player sci-fi horror shooter, made only for VR by Deep Matrix. You play Reynor "Ron" Adams on Karna, a planet owned by one corporation, and you mix sci-fi guns with vampiric abilities. The Steam page also lists Tracked Controller Support and Adjustable Difficulty, so check your controllers as well as your PC.

Check the hardware once, run the demo, and you will know where you stand. If everything passes, the full game is listed at $19.99 on Steam, and Quest owners with no PC can buy the standalone version instead.

Frequently asked questions

Can a GTX 1050 Ti run Dixotomia?

The GTX 1050 Ti is the NVIDIA card in the published minimum requirements, next to the AMD Radeon RX 470. Meeting the minimum does not promise a particular frame rate, so test with the free demo.

How much RAM does Dixotomia need?

The published minimum is 8 GB of RAM, along with Windows 10, an Intel i3-6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, and one of the two listed graphics cards.

Does Dixotomia work on Pico 4 and Valve Index?

Yes. Pico 4, Pico 4 Pro and Valve Index are all named on the Steam page, together with Rift S and Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S and Pro connected to a PC.

Can I play Dixotomia on a Quest without a PC?

Yes. The Meta Quest store has a standalone version that runs on the headset, so the PC requirements only matter for the Steam version.

Is there a way to check my setup before buying?

Yes. The free demo on Steam and itch.io lets you test your PC and headset together before you pay for the full game.
