Just tried Oculus Link using usb 3.0 cable and its still full of stutters just like quest 2 was. That is on RTX 4090 and 7800X3D. :mad:

What bitrate? I need to stay under 300 to avoid stuttering. Are you using a USB 3.1 or 3.2 port?

i must admit i have not noticed stutters with mine. what usb cable are you using? i wonder if you are just trying to force too high a bit rate through it? have you checked your settings in oculus tray tool

edit... ninja'd!

PS i have my wired connection set at 500, that is as far as i have pushed it.

If you do the USB connection test on the Meta Desktop app, what speed does it show you?

z10m · 12 Oct 2023 at 15:17

Desktop app showing 2.4Gbps bandwidth

Better than I usually get.

What happens if you just set the bitrate to 0/auto in the debug tool?

So apparently you can use a referral link for a new quest 3, but you have to unlink your quest 2 first. I presume once activated it's too late.

I bought the soundcore earbuds and I'm not that impressed with the audio. Bass is good but they just sound a bit tinny to me.

Have you tried tweaking them within the Soundcore app on your phone, maybe that will help ?

still happens, dropping render resolution in asgards wrath to 60% reduces stutter but not completely
it's always 1-3 fps drop

On tuesday i was playing msfs with no stutters on max resolution and asynchronous warp enabled. Great I thought, quest 2 wouldn't do this!

On Wednesday, same game, same settings, get stutters.

Damn, this beat saber is addictive! I've just had a few more goes on the free demo and am just one good cut from perfect.

Seems hard to get that last cut and I'm only on normal difficulty! I bet there's some experts here who have beaten the most chaotic levels. I learnt how to take an ingame screenshot.

ah ! bugger

in fact i couldn't do anything, my app said "something went wrong" on every tab as i sold my Q2 over a year ago

hmm

i guess you tried everything at the default settings ?

why don't you try VD ?

I've done some further testing and found that if the q3 is turned on, then the passthrough charging works using a usb c to USB c cable.

thanks, not had a chance to play with anything much at the moment

so good for when your playing but not when its off when you want to charge it !

dropping render resolution to minimum and encode resolution to 2000 then reducing resolution even further in game to 60% reduced dropped frames even further but not completely

last time I tried VD while I was getting less dropped frames (still not perfect) input lag was higher than oculus link.
looks like quest 3 is still rubbish as a pcvr headset.
why couldn't they just add native display port input.?

Yes I've fiddled with the EQ a bit. I'll have a further play later. Still these are massively more convenient for my Quests and for the Steam Deck so I'll keep them.

i just use VD wirelessly
works fine for me
