    Im currently using 120hz mode. It has not broken my quest 2 yet. And this is of course before the update you are talking about in this vid... p.s. the hz setting does not force your quest 2 to run 120fps, it just ups the limet, so no it won't slow anything down and you won't lose image quality.

      Exactly. All the native apps/games I’ve seen so far that support 120hz have a toggle in the settings menu.

  • @Cimlite
    @Cimlite Рік тому +6

    I've been using 120hz since the day it was available, never had _any_ issues. For the titles that support it, it's a much smoother and less headache inducing experience than 90hz. The impact on battery life is also negliable, and if you get a battery strap it really doesn't matter at all. Don't see why you _wouldn't_ want this... feels more like people are worried about nothing.

    • @shuflie

      Does make a good headline, probably nothing to worry about though. Can't really see Facebook (sorry Meta) wanting any more bad press after the recent price update and the backlash they are going to get when everyone realises the Quest pro isn't really targeted at the current userbase.

  • @lesliecompton4061
    @lesliecompton4061 Рік тому

    I think it comes down to the length of time you play it --- with extended playtime due to added batteries I can see where the problem may occur

    • @VRCauldron
      @VRCauldron  Рік тому

      Yeah I can see a few hours being fine. A problem may come if my quest for example runs slightly hotter - maybe the fan isn't 100% or some other 'invisible' fault that is no longer invisible when playing at 120hz

  • @Capy.AnonyMou5
    @Capy.AnonyMou5 Рік тому

    I've had 120hz on as an option since it's been out definitely won't break anything Hz are determined by the dev of the game or if you know how to tweak your Hz / other tweaks via Side quest or the other programs/apps. My battery doesn't go down much faster than when I had it on 90hz but I mostly have my Q2 plugged in via link cable.

    I thought this was a legit worry.. why are you grasping straws to make this point? Having the update force 120hz as you’ve eluded it seems, is; wait for it… A Good Thing!
    The battery concern is negligible the battery never lasted anyways, the slowing down is not a concern… and please don’t turn the update off.. having the 120hz feature turned on is a good thing.

    It does not force 120 Hz onto every game, if a game dev thinks their game is capable of 120 Hz they can enable it. Game devs can choose between 60,72,90, and 120 Hz. Please do research before making a video with a claim and title this serious as for the people that are not as tech literate will believe you since you have not taken this video down even with the comments correcting you I have reported it for misinformation.

      No, apple would actually neuter your device by limiting its performance by down clocking, increasing charging time by making the device not able to fast charge, excluding the device from future updates, etc.
      This update however improves it.. so no, there’s no planned obsolescence here. lol the quest 2 was sold and is still being sold soo cheap vs its worser competitors and instead of praising them for including us in their R&D, you chose to call foul and accuse them of practising planned obsolescence.. hahahahahahac
