Quest 3 owners etc

i agree a proper display port would be nice........ however i dont think we will ever see that now and going forward it should be less and less of an issue (USB4 and better wifi support)

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.

I think there is a problem with PCVR at the moment using Link or Airlink. Check if you have the refresh rate at 90Hz in the Oculus app, if you do, try changing it to 80Hz or 72Hz and see if that solves the problem. Seen some reports that setting the refresh rate to 90Hz causes stutters.

As usual, YMMV!! Good luck.

Yeah the annoying thing is the inconsistency. How can it work one day and not the next, same settings. Also didn't matter whether I switched between h264 or h265 (which now does work by the way, but I can't push bitrate higher than 200 on h265).

I'd experiment more but I've sent it back due to display defect.

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. :D 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.

I can beat most levels now on expert+. I found using the modifiers to speed up the previous difficulty was a good way to prepare for the next one. It also becomes more intuitive in some ways, as almost 100% of the time if you've just done an upwards slash, the next slash with that hand will be a downwards one.

The decoder can't handle bitrates over 200 for H.265.

Daydreamer VR (or whatever his name is) was saying the best PCVR settings he's tried was H.264 at 960mb bitrate. Said he was disappointed with AV1.

as above tho, H.265 I believe is limited to 200mb so unsure if that's a software limitation or the SOC.

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

Wait, I am just after remembering. You had the same problem with the Quest 2? 1-3fps frame drop.

That the same thing is happening on the Quest 3 seems to be suggesting that the problem isn't the headset.

It actually points to something been wrong in your PC. What that is, I don't know. Faulty encoder on the 4090? Some monitoring program interfering with the encoding? Nvidia's 4xxx series cards are having a latency issue for some people? Did you try the drivers that were released on Tuesday that has a partial fix?

Guy Godin said H.265 is no good past 200Mbps for HEVC, it shoots the latency way up. The decoder just can't handle it.

Yeah that’s me lol.
Since then I upgraded everything so went from 3080 and 5800X to 4090 7800x3d and now I’m on my second 4090 and the issue persists.
Obviously tried everything on a fresh system and that didn’t help either.
Tested VD just now and that’s still dropping frames albeit less than oculus link and air link.
So far tried AV1 codec only but will also try h265 and h264.

Loving my Quest 3 so far, managed to get Blast Sabre, and Pinball Star Wars Pinball VR, trying different things, a bit of stanalone and PCVR as I have high end gaming pc. Just figuring thigs out, finding it a bit complicated sometimes but getting there slowly. Also have tried using usb cable and air link.

That's so bizarre!! Regular dropped frame like that, just doesn't happen. I tried to replicate your issue on my Quest 2 and couldn't. Oh I could get it to drop frames but it wasn't regular. They would drop constantly or in big lumps as something intensive happened.

Man, I am all out of ideas. I would go back to using H.264 at default of 0 on the debug tool for link and Airlink and see what happens. What might be worth trying is to on Virtual desktop desktop client, set the Codec to Automatic and tick the box on the left to automatically adjust bitrate. Turn on the Performance overlay and see what is happening.

See my post above, about setting it to automatic and turning on performance overlay. You can see the measurements for game, Network, Encode and Decode. So when frames drop check to see which of the value shoot up.
