Must have missed your post. I get no prompts in the app when connecting the Q2. I'm getting 370 mbps as it is getting detected as a USB 2 connection.

Makes you wonder if the quest is at fault.
Well here’s my help request if someone can help a brudda out. Just got VD all setup to play Half-life Alyx downstairs so I can experience room scale and running into a bit of a sub par performance.
Setup is:
PC 3900x 2080ti 32gb ram and m.2 NVME (pretty solid)
Network netgear nighthawk AC1900 running on 5gz only and measuring 866 in the same room as the quest, PC hardwired to said router via gigabit Ethernet CAT6. (All fine in theory here)
VD overlay showing 90hz 32MBITS bit rate and anywhere from 30-54ms latency to the headset.
despite all of this I’m getting pretty stuttery gameplay on half life to the point I havnt bothered even tackling the game yet. Especially moving around and picking objects up, seems like frame rate dipping and latency at the same time. Plugged in via link in small room upstairs and as you can imagine works perfectly.
currently using recommended high settings in game although ultra works fine on link. VD using high quality rendering and codec set to auto. Have fiddled around with a lot of settings to no avail. Latency I can put up with for wireless but the stuttering ruins in.
Any suggestions?

What settings are you using in the VD streaming tab?
Also, do you have any steam VR supersampling options configured? Perhaps try resetting these to auto if you do.
Have you checked your wireless channel for traffic?
Is the router in the same room? If not, have you tried it next to your router?
I've been having jittering problems with VD even right next to the router recently. Not figured it out yet, but there are reports that the latest Nvidia drivers cause stuttering. Or it could simply be an issue with the latest version of VD.

mine only works well in the lounge, which is only about 3m from my router.... any other room, including the one with my wireless booster in, it is unusable.
(its not jerky tho, just a really low bit rate).
apparently the wifi on my router is meant to be one of its strong points as well.......... its one of the newish (ie still current) vodafone broadband routers.
not wifi6 mind you but i dont think anyone is giving those out free yet. (when they do i may jump ship)

ok so VD settings are HVEC codec on VD PC streamer app
In VD headset Iv got 72hz
Sliced encoding switched off
VR graphics quality high
Bitrate 84Mbps
Video buffering switched on
Steam VR super sampling is set to auto as are most of the other options around resolution and bit rate
In half life Alex I’m playing on high but when I tested with the actual link cable the PC has plenty of headroom to play on ultra without breaking a sweat and is buttery smooth so I think I can eliminate raw pc power as an issue.
2.4ghz channel on the router has been disabled and my wife is operating 5ghz at 40hz with me the playing in the same room as the router.
The problem is consistent micro stutters watching stuff fly around in the air or when moving around and picking stuff off the floor. Latency actually seems ok when I go to pick stuff up or use individual fingers to imaginary finger blast people in the distance

Try putting PC streamer codec on auto, it will select the best codec to use. I have a decent pc and it selects H264 for me in games but HVEC for desktop streaming. Let it choose, see what happens.
Do you get the same issue on medium quality setting in VD?
Does your router have an 80 MHz mode?
I was suffering a lot of stuttering problems since the v23 update, I ended up factory resetting the quest after trying most other things which fixed most of it.
I can run Alyx pretty well now on the following settings
In streaming tab:
refresh rate 90hz
quality - high
bandwidth - 80mbps
sliced encoding - on
extra latency - on
after a lot of messing about in the steamVR settings menus, i have accepted it is best to leave all render resolution settings to auto and let virtualdesktop dictate that with its low/med/high option
The other issue i was having was alyx was that at 90hz the game would seem to be locked at 85fps max and dipping below a lot.
I have not looked into which fixed it but it was one of 2 things:
-setting the desktop refresh rate to 72hz so it is different to the in game refresh rate
- turning off vsync in the nvidia control panel and turning on low latency (its more likely this as when in game, my monitor resolution was switching to 1980x1080 85hz )

There is an option in the VD settings called set for optimal resolution, make sure this is unchecked. I had the issue after having to do a factory reset on the quest and reinstall this was highlighted and it buggered up my fps, setting the desktop res to 1920x1080 and 85 hz, making thing s a mess in the headset.
That is something I had started to wonder. I suppose I could contact their support if the Anker cable they recommend doesn't work with the USB 3 expansion card they recommend. Not sure what they can do, but worth an email.
Got my quest 2 today and have had a brief play around with it before work. I noticed in elite dangerous the framerate sits down at 45fps instead of 90,despite my 3080 being at 40% utilisation. Tried dropping settings to no avail. Any tips?
Also, besides side quest, which I have installed, anything else I should be doing?

I don’t know the answer but Iv noticed the same with Star Wars squadrons frame rate tanking despite my 2080ti sitting at around 40% utilisation and fans not even kicking in.Maybe an optimisation patch is needed for some of these games.
Just thought another trick is to lower your actual monitors resolution to the lowest amount possible when in VR mode, not that that should be necessary with a 3080.

no not at all it makes no difference.
however as said above, some games allow you to set the detail levels of the mirror to your monitor... it probably wont make a huge difference but it may help a bit.
