VR Link, how does it work ?

[R3dRaven]

I own a quest 2 and pretty much only play games through steam or VR link, very rarely do I play it as a stand alone.

So here's my question. How does the quest use your graphics card when using the VR link that's plugged into a USB port not directly into the card ?

Unless I'm being very dumb here, VR through the link cables surely cannot be using the full potential of the card?

I've only got a 2060 super, so I have noticed a drop in quality on some occasions, especially when playing half life Alex.

I've not tried the airlink but I read that recently they updated the drivers on the quest that improved it a fair bit.

Thanks for the answer chaps
