One of the things that sets the Quest 2 apart from other virtual reality headsets currently on the market is the fact that it's a stand alone device. It can play VR games without the need to be connected to a powerful gaming PC which most all other headsets depend on. But what if you're wanting to play games that are only available on PCVR like Half Life Alyx? Do you have to purchase another headset like the Vive, HP Reverb G2 or Valve Index? The answer to that question is No. The Quest 2 can be used for PCVR too using a Link cable or even wirelessly using Air Link or Virtual Desktop. One of the problems many encounter however when using the Quest 2 for PCVR is the graphics looking soft and blurry. The Quest 2 sports a pretty high resolution display of 1832 X 1920 pixels per eye so things shouldn't look blurry at all, in fact they should look pretty sharp and clear. In this tutorial you'll learn how to fix this problem buy turning up the Quest 2's resolution and refresh rate for playing PCVR games. You'll also learn the importance of your PC's hardware when it comes to just how high you can set the resolution and refresh rate as well as the importance of having a WiFi 6 (802.11ax) router when playing wirelessly using Air Link or Virtual Desktop.

Can you use Airlink/Sidequest on xbox for better graphics
I have Wi-Fi 5GHz
I have an new updated version of this video with even better tips. Check it out here - ua-cam.com/video/-Tt-H4IIdJs/v-deo.html
You'll be glad you did. 😀
This helped me so much. Playing at full resolution at 90 hz over airlink always looked muddy with visual artifacts, but with link cable everything looked perfect. I had fast wifi so I never considered that would be that it wasn't wifi 6.
Hey i just got into pcvr and i use airlink tho it is amazing the muddy and stuff stinks, the link cable fixed all these issues? If so ill pick on up
@@silis4645 the link cable did fix it all
@Josh Calvert ok ty i have a really good pc 3060 ti, intel core i7 16gs of ram, so i know its not my pc but my 5g internet just cant keep up sometimes especially when my whole household on it lol so the cable should fix it all
@@silis4645 buy better router if you can tell me in which country u are i can help you
I just upgraded from rift to quest 2 but when i go into pcvr with it the quality is worse than my rift was. Adjusted bit rate to 250 with the debug tool and my cable is getting 2.8hz but it looks atrocious. Any suggestions?
Very nice. I just got the oculus quest 2 and will try this out.
I've had a bug in the right eye, sometimes it made my vision weird ya know? right on the end of the fov, the vision was disturbed, this video helped me fix this bug, so much ty!
I got an arries g34 just to fix the lag in my original quest. Using air link now and it works like a CHAMP. 105 mbps internet is plenty. Your router wifi network speed is the most important thing.
I respect this man a lot..
Thanks man i needed this
I got a wifi 6 router dedicated to Quest 2, and it was terrible. I then got a wifi 6 pcie card for my PC, made a dedicated wifi 6 hotspot for the Quest 2, and that worked brilliantly.
VERY good video on how the refresh rate works for VR versus a normal monitor. People tend to crank their refresh rate up in oculus thinking its the same process as a normal monitor. There are so many complaints on hitching, screen tearing, and straight up lag on reddit and oculus forums. Most of them blaming the game devs or Facebook, not realizing its their settings and hardware performance. I loved how you presented Half Life Alyx for this test, as this game is notorious for running like shit at high refresh rates. Keep up the great content I would also love to see more guides on getting more stable performance for low-end PCVR users. The main gripe people have about PCVR at the moment is the is complications with optimizing settings and games to get the best experience or fps without feeling like you need to buy a 3090.

I've been slowly fixing my issues with air link. I recently upgraded from a 2060 super to an rtx3080 so graphics won't be my bottleneck. Then I've been successful using my PCs Intel Wi-Fi 6 ax200 as a hotspot and using the included antennas. I can't set a fixed 5ghz channel width in the adapter config, but if you set it to "auto" and connect your phone to the same hotspot as the Quest 2, the adapter changed my channel width from the default 20Mhz to 80Mhz. No idea why the Quest 2 by itself can't trigger the higher bandwidth, but connecting my phone sure does. In the Quest I verified it is now seeing 80Mhz. My jitters are gone and it's amazing
Wait wait wait... i know this comment is from a year ago but you're saying you're able to play with this kind of performance by using the mobo antennas and your phone?!
i have a B550-F gaming wifi mobo and would love to learn how this works.. !
If you're able to provide a full step by step guide on how you made this work you would be a life savior!
THX u just got a new subscriber
How do I best prevent light coming in where my nose is? I'm using the included rubber around the sides of the vr glasses, but it's still coming in a little light.
anyone know how to fix black levels over link? while playing games like saints and sinners I can barely see anything it looks so dark in buildings even with the flashlight on
MY issue is I recently tried 90 hz for HL A recently....I switched it, restarted the headset and when I went to check if it was now set at 90, all it shows is 72 now! Apparently its an issue with update 39 for SOME headsets. Update 40 is supposed to fix it. So your telling me sidequest cant boost it for HLA for me?
hey quick question so on the oculus software setup it prompted me to choose air link or cable link and i chose air link but i want to try cable link however when i plug in my headset it only prompts "allow ... to access your files" and nothing else so do you know how to change it? (and yes i tried oculus support but they respond slower than my crush on snap)
i did that but its stll not a very good render, its still quite difficult to read from a far and it doesnt look very good, what should i do?
population one on my 3080 at 120hz and max res is damn near a cheat code.
I feel like my quest 2 in link doesn’t change at all when I go from 72 hz to 120 hz. It doesn’t seem to have any good or bad change. I’m really confused and need help
Hey man. I need help, desperately! Theirs a problem I have when I play games like “Into The Radius” on my quest 2. When I walk the screen turns kinda fuzzy. You know how I can fix it?
You should add that your pc is playing a great role ESPECIALLY if you have an Intel 10th generation or later processor. Is well known that Oculus Unreal engine and Intel newest processors are afflicted by an unresolved (at the moment of writing) bug. You have to manually add environment variable in your pc to make it work correctly (search the web for correct values). If you fail this passage there's no router, board or driver that can give you a stable glitch free experience.
Great tutorial had no idea you could change these settings, my computer likes to pretend it’s much worse than it is (Hell, even the oculus app warns me that I can’t use the damn thing, it works more than perfectly fine even when using a Nintendo Switch USB 2.0 to USB type C cable) . I can get it to run at max everything and it works perfectly half them time, and the whole computer locks up the other half. But I was able to get to work best at max resolution at minimum fps. Which was jarring to me since it defaulted to UA-cam quality before.
I upgraded my router. tp-link ax53. it has 2402mbps 160mhz transfer speed. But there is no only 802.11ax option. It is part of 802a/n/ac/ax. Air link is so blurry.
At first, I thought it is my pc, but then I tried to connect with 2.0 cable. It was better! :( Even 2.0 usb cable is better than air link. What should I do. Btw, quest the sees as 80mhz, 1200mbps
the most important thing is to open your debug tool and setup the numbers like bitstream
I have a 4090 RTX and a I5 13600K 32 GIG RAM tried loads of setting in debug etc still get slightly blurry pixelated graphics in the distance especially Skyrim vr i went back to rift s and cranked up the pixel override as cant hack the blurry distance textures not sure if its the cable I have.
This is the perfect Title for my problem. 😂
Thanks for the tip about the 72fps thing, I've spent a night fighting with oculus debug tool and airlink trying to figure out why my new 3070ti is capping out at my old 1070's max fps (which was likely also capped by the oculus software 😖)
just get a cable man... just get it... I gave up on air link... The cable works beautifully.. 16 foot
@@syntheshwara who wants to play with a cable? There are no real advantages as far as I can tell.
@@kajekage9410 Maybe... It works great for me though... Since I play exclusively PCVR and I get a throughput of 3Gbps with a cable. Also, the battery drains far slower than airlink so there is an increase in playhours.
@@syntheshwara hardwired always wins, but I choose freedom to spins. I've been using virtual desktop, but have become interested in air link since it's been getting updates regularly and is out of the "experimental settings" phase. Always got annoyed tripping over that damn rift s cable and suspended cable management was a no go for me.
@@kajekage9410 it literally has better performance in every way possible, you might have a bad pc do air link is ur thing, 3070ti not using a cable is just not smart

ok my gaming pc is RTX 3070 i set my to 90hz but hears a thing idk what to set my graphics preferences?
hello how do i fix ffr? my quest is blurry cant find the setting. yes my glasses are clean :)
If I use a good off-brand cable for Meta Quest 2 (one that's not $80), will I still be able to get better graphics with it?
My games and even Quest home look terrible regardless of how much I alter resolution settings, it’s doesn’t seem to make a difference and there are always dancing lines and blurry imagery beyond about 20 meters distance, can anyone help??? I have tried debug, sidequest, oculus settings, Nvidia overriding… and yet the image quality is always very poor!
having an issue, when the game is running it is shown is smooth, but the headsets view has a weird "trail" like effect when encoutering fast movements.
either your connection with airlink is not that great. Or you have set the graphics too high in the Oculus app on the PC
this is called tearing and it’s a issue you cannot fix unless you use something like virtual desktop
open debug tool and disable asynchronous spacewarp

One important detail about people who adjust the Air Link refresh rate higher is that they will also notice that their Quest 2 battery will last quite a bit less (Especially if you got for the 90Hz or 120Hz. This can easily be mitigated by having a power bank on yourself plugged into your quest.

How is setting the resolution and refresh rate in Oculus App different than doing on SteamVR?
my bitrate when playing VR games looks very low, and I dont think its a wifi problem because when I played without wifi, it was still like that
So having an odd issue with my Quest 2. When using the LinkCable everything looks incredibly blurry and has a bad screen door effect at every resolution even at 120hz and 1:1 ratio but when using AirLink or Virtual Desktop everything is buttery smooth and crystal clear at 80hz? What in the world is causing this issue?
What link cable you useing
Thx for the great video
Here is my question, i have a pc that is good enough to play VR, and playing project cars 2 and eurotruck simulator 2 on steam vr
All via airlink, wifi 6 router on 1 meter to my quest.
And it's not going smooth as i would like to, nice graphics but still serious framedrops.
small detail, i'm playing with the first oculus quest.
Should i consider upgrade to quest 2?
Grtz and keep up the nice work
4:48 is what problem im having.. like the black levels when moving my head
quest 2 after v48 cant do 4128 without artifacting, white bar at the bottom nomatter what i do, after v53 a ton of people are getting speckle artifacting in dark enviroments very minorly, hope this is fixed, it was broken in v44 once before, and fixed in v46. render resolution is abit of a questionable one, as i believe its encode resolution aka what sends a clearer image to the quest 2, while render resolution usually refers to what the gpu is rendering the game at, not what the encoder is sending to the headset, aka supersampling.
Great video! I've looked through your video list and I don't seem to find one. What's your latest take on VD vs Air link?
I've never tried Virtual Desktop. Air Link was already in beta when I bought my Quest 2 and I felt it worked well enough I didn't feel the need to buy Virtual Desktop.

Nice video!! How long are you roughly able to play PCVR for before you need to recharge your headset? Do you have a set up that is able to charge while playing so that you could technically have infinite playtime? If so, I would love to see a video about your vr setup!
I like to use Air Link when I play because having a wire dragging around to get tangled up in is not something I particularly enjoy, and I get between an hour and a half and two hours of play time on a charge which I feel is a pretty nice gaming session for me. If you use a Link cable though and click the Don't Allow or No or whatever the prompt is when the headset asks you if you want to allow your PC to access data on your headset, then I'm pretty sure you can extend that time a fair amount as it will charge the headset a little at the same time you're playing. Just how long it increases the time I don't know because I've never played using a Link cable for very long.
I use PCVR on Quest 2 via link cable and it took me months to realise the USB ports directly into your PC graphics card have more power than the ones at the front. By plugging directly into the mobo it's like an infinite play time. Before I was 100% - 0 in less than 1.5 hours, now I might drop from 100% to 60 or 70 if I'm hammering out a 2-3 hour Contractors session 👍
Thanks lads, only bought it last month so ive been trying to work out the best way to play haha
@@Maraksot78 2 hours on airlink are you serious bro ? Oculus barley hold charge for 45 mn playing time , how do you do that ?
I play with over link cable and it lasts over 5h
Is this method work for virtual desktop
For an rx6600 And a Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor is recomended 72Hz, but at what render resolution could i bring it up to??
Great video, will these settings overwrite the sidequest resolution tweaks? Do I need to do both. If I am just playing PCVR.
Thanks
The SideQuest tweaks I show in my other video is for stand alone/native Quest 2 games only. Changing the settings I show in this video only effects PCVR stuff on the Quest 2. If you only play PCVR games you only need to adjust the settings in the Oculus PC app like I show in this video. You don't have to worry about the SideQuest stuff at all as those do not have any effect on PCVR games.
which one is better gaming laptop legion 5 or gaming PC
Just bought a 2.5 GB per second cable and my PC has USB 3.0 I also have a 3060ti and games like war thunder, DCS look clear in near distances "the cockpit" the ground and skies look blurry and pixelated, makes really hard to spot enemies bc the dots are not clear and get smaller the further they are.

Sucks I want to try alyx so bad in 90 hz bud I'm still locked even with the v40 update
But to play half life Alyx don’t you have to use Steam VR? Which also has its own resolution setting? Which ones will apply in that case? Steam VR ress or HL ress setting?
Only increase the oculus one, steam vr resolution adapts to that. ua-cam.com/video/EUYgONjVUAo/v-deo.html here is a good video explaining it
@@hankapankaeklund9833 thanks
I've noticed amrhw longer I play, the lower the quality becomes. Temps stay 80 c and below. 1660ti predator. Hardware or....72 hz. Medium settings usually
My oculus pc vr was working fine until I turned it on one day and all the games I normally played just looked really blury, I tried changing the steam vr resoloution but to no avail. Someone please help lol
For me its that, whenever I am in Link, the world I see from inside the headset (through the lenses) starts to randomly glitch. Like just imagine a short distortion happening in front of you for a split second, like a glitch yeah. I don't know what to do against it. My frame rates arent the problem I think, but that the world in the game sometimes has this glitch makes it bit difficult for me to play smooth and its not fun, idk how to fix it.
Mine does the same, have you found a fix?
@@juiceboxer honestly im not sure since i havent tried it multiple times, but I try to close EVERY other running application and I use the oculus debug tool to adjust the settings, especially encode bitrate and resolution width, watch a vid abt these and just play ard with it till its fine. Oh and make sure ur grapiccsrd drivers are up to date
@@juiceboxer i seen a video where the guy went into the steam vr settings ticked advanced settings and adjusted play area and some graphical settings for the play area boundaries. Said it resolved his issues. That could be one of the issues. I have a brand new laptop with an I9, 32gb ddr5 and a Rtx3070ti. Had the same problem in my usual smaller play area (get close to the boundaries). Then played two days ago in a large 20' x 15' area and it ran much smoother. I noticed if I got close to the boundary limit, it would do a short drop off in frames or skip.
what should i set my frame rate to if I have a CPU of Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics, 1 GPU card as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, and the other GPU card as AMD Radeon TM Graphics, I'm on a laptop
if its for steam vr itll be blurry af for no reason but on any other place like roblox vr or oculus store it will be good looking
I'm confused why does my quest xr2 chip is faster than my desktop rx570 xd
I use virtual desktop, would messing with those setting also to my games even tho I’m using virtual desktop?. Great video btw!.
Virtual desktop has those settings in the app itself, instead of having to do it from your computer
No messing with air link settings doesn't affect VD, VD is it's own stream client with its own options.
Interesting. I have an RTX 3070 and 3800X, but it also recommends the lowest possible settings "based on my pc specs". I don't have wifi 6 yet, and may just pick up the Air Bridge dongle once I get an idea of how good it could be. My router isn't too congested. When I use VD with high settings and 120hz it seems to work fine, so maybe the recommended settings are broken lol
I just recently upgraded to a RTX 3080ti and the Oculus app is recommending I set it to 72Hz with a render resolution of 4128 x 2096 but I can easily play Contractors at 120Hz at 4707 x 2384 and maintain a pretty much constant 120fps. And in Half Life Alyx I can set it to 90Hz at 4707 x 2384 and maintain an almost constant 90fps. I tried it at 120 but the 3080ti couldn't quite do that; it kept cutting the frame rate in half to 60fps when there was too much going on on screen. Setting it to 90Hz though, it had no problem. Microsoft Flight Simulator is another story though. If I set it 90Hz and 4128 x 2096 most of the time my frame rate is cut in half to 45fps with the settings I use in MSFS. Anyway, the point I'm making is I don't think they're hardware detection recommendations are very accurate. XD
@@Maraksot78 yeah, seems like recommended settings is just set to its lowest to give everyone the best possible experience from the get go. Looks like it's on a game by game basis otherwise when it comes to what settings we can play.
Does vd seem to give the best picture? I also have a 3070. I use air link and recently switched to 90hz for half life for the FIRST TIME and when I went to check if it worked 72 hz was the only setting! All the rest were just gone. Apparently its a bug with some headsets and update 39
@@wjveryzer7985 I feel it's way more stable than air link, since air link gets laggy when i use it. Some people say the color is better on air link, but virtual desk top has way more fine tuning options for quailty directly in app on quest 2.
You show ALYX a steamVR game but you never got into the steamVR side of settings that's as important
I just did mobile hotspot off my computer and connected my oculus directly to the computer
When I do this and the headset restarts, I notices absolutely no changes...
Guys i need help the menu at second 0:12 for me is bad. And blurry u guys know the solution for it please i just bought the oculus yesterday 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You could be overclocking your pc, if your laptop/pc isn’t as strong try setting it a lot lower until the stutters and blurryness goes away

Extra tip for
Use a different dashboard exe to remove it for more performance for steam vr
I dont mean exiting dashboard i mean replacing the dashboard exe
I have a 3070 oc and a high quality link cable plugged into my Mobo with a USB 3.1 port and I put the quest 2 on 120 Hz and max render distance and it still looked the same after restarting the headset, and when I say same I mean it looked like shit and yes I've also checked the render distance via Steam vr
And unlike the normal standalone oculus store no pc vr thing that looks blurry for me, in pcvr it's not blurry, its pixelated
So when you a play a game like half life alyx, do you run the in game settings at high with your 2070? I Have a 3070 and tried with 90hz and it was great! Now Im going to try bumping the res.
Yes, I forget the exact name of the setting in Alyx but I think it's called visual fidelity or graphics fidelity or something like that in the game settings. Anyway I set mine to the 2nd highest setting and it looks great. Turning it up to the highest looks even better but I do notice a little bit of a performance dip.
Hi. A question, please: how do you think will my Msi GP76 3070ti + 12700h + 32gb ddr4 handle upcoming Pimax Crystal, or should I stick to pico4?
Flex city
Although Wi-Fi 6 provides a higher theoretical maximum Wi-Fi link speed (1200 Mbps) compared to Wi-Fi 5 (866Mbps), you are more likely to peak at maximum values near the 100 Mbps area when using Air Link with Oculus Quest 2 (this is also the default maximum value set by Oculus software)
Probably but a lot of people report better quality when using Wi-Fi 6. it might just be due to better hardware.
I'm using WiFi 6 and still going damn bad fluctuating from 10 to 60 Mbps, I don't even know where is the problem because I upgraded everything I needed to have the best experience

That's up to what your PC can do. If it's strong enough, then increase the headset refresh rate and render resolution on the oculus pc app to what feels good. If it's too weak that won't fix anything.

@@wjveryzer7985 so get virtual desktop if you're worried. It has options for 72hz upto 120hz (120hz can only be enabled after you enable the option from the quest 2s experimental settings). It's software is different from Air link, so the bug doesn't apply.
I just got a quest 2 and the instructions for connecting the link cable are inconsistant and confusing (IMO).
People say to connect to the GPU, but no GPUs have a USB c port, just HDMI and Displayport, the USB c ports are part of the motherboard not GPU. What I dont know is if the GPU is feeding the signal to the port on the motherboard (which i assume it is) or if it is using the on-board graphics. I dont know if there is a setting in Bios that changes the output of the USB c port from on-board graphics to GPU or if it is automatic.
Actually there are GPU's that have USB C ports on them. They started putting them on higher end GPU's awhile back specifically for VR. I have an Aorus RTX 2070 Super and it has a USB C port. That being said, to use Oculus Link your GPU doesn't have to have USB C. You can plug into a USB C port on your PC and it works just as well. You can even use a plain type A USB 3 port so long as the cable you're using has a type C port on the other end to plug into the headset.
@@Maraksot78 That is interesting. I have a RTX 2060 which doesn't (which is not a surprise really) but all of the 3000 series cards dont seem to have any either (at least the ones that I have looked at in my search for a replacement for my current card)

please HELP the quality and everything is fine but when i turn on 120hz its blurry not the pc screen its not a graphic heavy game its beat saber but at 120hz its unbearably blurry but it runs fine no fps drops....
Try restarting ur headset
Can you do this on mobile?
I can't even get their piece of shit app to run keeps showing error. I'm wondering as well if this setting is irrelevant for Steam VR and remote desktop app?
I've got a ryzen 7 and a rtx 3060 and im struggling to get decent performance on 72hz low res...anyone on a similar setup got any tips on optimal settings?
a solution i came across is to : Change the resolution in Steam VR ( go to settings - video - steam VR room and reduce the resolution there ) - another is to go to Nvidiia control panel and change some settings there. OPEN GL to Nvidia...3060....and another is low latency mode to low - also reduce bit rate in Oculus debug tool.
@@Ruyicosta none of that works
I have a 3060 ti graphics card do you know what resolution is best to me?
It really depends on the game, but this video should help you get an idea. ua-cam.com/video/74s2NbLokBY/v-deo.html
Whatever I do it still looks bad. My when I look at my monitor it looks really good but in the headset it’s not. My pc is a good one too so I don’t understand. Can anyone help me?
What are the specs of your PC? PCVR is VERY demanding so some games will look better than others depending upon your PC's specs and the settings you enable in each game. Microsoft Flight Simulator for example is one of the most demanding games I currently know of and even with the Ryzen 9 5950X, RTX 3080ti and 64GB of RAM I'm currently running in my PC, MSFS 2020 still looks like poo in VR and the best frame rate I can get is around 45fps with the game settings as optimized as I can get them. Half Life Alyx on the other hand is much less demanding and looks amazing. Besides adjusting the stuff I show in this video you do also have to change the visual quality setting in the game and this makes a HUGE difference if you're currently on one of the lower quality settings. I left that info out of this video to keep it from being too long and because I assumed people would already know you have to adjust the in game quality.
i have 500 down and 50 up and i am standing like 2 meters away from the router.. i hope airlink is fine then :D
What can I do with a rtx 2060
Should the game be running AND displaying on the computer monitor at the same time as it's running on the Quest 2, seems like a waste of resources?
That doesn't add any additional work for the GPU since it's simply displaying what is being rendered to one of your eyes. If it was rendering something entirely different then that would put more strain on your GPU. It's basically just splitting the signal and sending it to two different 'monitors'. It's like having multiple monitors, when they're all displaying the same thing you can hook up as many monitors as your graphics card has ports for and your PC will run the game no problem. However if you tried running multiple games at once on each monitor then your performance would take a huge hit since resources would then be split between different applications.
hi i have a nvidia geforve GTX 960 what resulution should i pick
Jesus, I would recommend getting a second hand card for cheap before you use pcvr for the quest 2. People are struggling with much higher end systems than what you stated here
Virtual Desktop kicks Link and Airlink's butt on both my RTX 2080 Super system and my RX 6600 XT system. I have a very nice 802.11ax(wifi 6) mesh network. Virtual Desktop is simply superior in every way.
Wired connection (Link) is always going to be better no matter what due to bandwidth and little to no latency.
Hello I cant really find good settings for my pc specs:
i5-8700k
RTX 3070 TI
16GB RAM
If anyone know a good res and refresh rate for this specs please let me know
There is no such thing as a “i5-8700k” + there is many more benchmark and settings videos for all specs. Assuming you meant a “i7-8700k” there are lots and lots of videos explaining that it mostly depends on your gpu power.
The best!
I just need a better router and a battery pack cause my oculus dies so fast using airlink
Everytime I try to use the air link its always extremely laggy, im pretty sure its because my PC is connected over the Wi-Fi rather than an ethernet but im not sure, is this true? And would getting the link cable help with that since im not able to use an ethernet
To get the best performance with AirLink you must have your PC connected to your router with an Ethernet cable. If you are unable to do that then using a Link cable is a good option, you just have to be conscious of the cable being there as you don't want to trip over it or something.
@@Maraksot78 Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I just noticed that my PC doesn't have a USB-C port, do you recommend trying to find an alternative cable that has USB-C to USB or to get an adapter for my PC? I'm trying to maximize performance if that's possible
What about virtual desktop?
hello, I'm using high end laptop (Acer predator triton 300 se . i7 processor, 16ram , RTX3060 graphic) for my oculus quest 2 through link cable. But still i face stuttering and loading while loading high end games. Any suggestion. Thanks in advance.
yeah same I can't understand what's the problem
I have a Rtx 3060. And my graphics preferences isn’t as high as yours please help.
A 2070 super is better so obviously it isn’t as high
@@wackdat I thought the Rtx 3060 was more powerful.
Was incredibly disappointed with the Quest 2s air link as well as link cable. Air link with Wifi 6 is horrific, I’m right in front of my router and as soon as I launch the link from the headset it becomes unusable. If I turn my head, the only thing I see is what looks like the matrix loading screen instead of the background. The controllers lag too much to be useable. There’s still latency in the cable too, even wired directly to a usb c port on the motherboard. Virtual Desktop with link disabled to play VR over my wifi instantly resolves the latency. That’s their implementation sucking ass. I went from 30fps and unplayable stutters that made me want to vomit or gave me headaches to buttery smooth 120fps in the headset @ 120hz. It’s just SkyrimVR that I need to get running properly, because that’s still giving 30fps on a 1080ti 11gb, 8600k 5GHZ and 16gb 4000mhz ram vanilla - and that’s probably because it’s still launching SteamVR, which also bottlenecks the Quest and your PC because I’m getting 120 on my desktop and not 30
what would my resolution be fore a rtx 3060?
max
J have 1650 graphics card and Intel gen 12 and have like 32 tv of ram
im working on my quest as half life looks like shit right now. Definitely makes sense.
Make sure to turn up the graphics quality in Alyx too.
i have a 2080 ti g11 will i be fine for 90 hrz
Should be good to go.
ive noticed that my monitor display shows the game at a much better display then what it is in actual vr because in the quest its not as good as it displays on the monitor
Well your monitor isn’t less than an inch away from your eye so the pixels are smaller… it’s the same thing as 720p looks great on a phone and horrible on a tv
I have that same exact problem. Even if it’s a inch away from our eyes it wouldn’t look that bad. So idk what the heck is going on. I was so looking forward to getting to see that pc vr graphics but nope.
I have a Rylen 7
i have a rtx 4080 and a i5 13600kf, i can put the render and hz in max?
I have a 3060 and maxed out the hz and res. Some games worked perfectly, while some... did not. It depends on the game. Try experimenting with it.
@@Persvicx Thank you for the informations :-)
I tested leaving the HZ at 120 and the resolution at approximately 200%-250%, I put Half Life Alyx which is very heavy to see if the Quest 2 or my PC wouldn't die xD
but it ran well, very rarely did any "bug"/lag cause the quest to freeze on the screen, but it lasted 3 seconds on average, if my PC/quest was able to run Half Life I believe it ran everything at 120hz in VR, the only problem is that the The battery on my VR only lasted 1 hour playing non-stop haha, I don't know if it's worth leaving it at 120hz, it wastes a lot of battery time, I'll leave it at 90hz the next time I play.
