Have any of you who were previously on ethernet cable plus wifi tried this yet?

 

Yep I've been on the ethernet version of VD until this update. Replaced it with my old USB Link cable for my Quest 3. It's flawless. Works exactly like old style link should but through VD. So much more convienient

 

It’s a mixed bag. If you have the right motherboard and cable, you get good results. Discord is full of people who both praise and curse it. In general, Intel chipsets reportedly cause issues, and charging the headset via the USB port is also more difficult. Since there are hardly any advantages (1ms less latency with direct USB), I’m sticking with the Ethernet solution.

 

If they can get it stable, it will be great. When it works well, it worked better than my wifi. With my wifi i could not use h264+ @500. Super smooth with the new link method accept random bad hitch here and there that will really mess you up in the middle of some multiplayer race session.

 

Tested Virtual Desktop with USB connection with my Quest 2. Link is more reliable and looks better, until Meta do something stupid as usual.

 

I guess nobody wants to share their VD settings...

 

You're already doing everything right so far. Either you haven't turned off your Wi-Fi and aren't actually connected via Ethernet-to-USB, or you've over-sharpened the image. But I don't think either is the case; you seem to know what you're doing. There aren't really any other major tricks once you're in "God Mode." Then again, your impression or memory might be deceiving you. Try taking a comparison screenshot of both.

 

Thanks, I'm definitely connected to VD @ 500 but as Ernesto says above, Meta Link sharpening is objectively better. I'd rather use Link at a lower bitrate over VD @ 500. I was just curious to see everyone's VD settings to see if I've missed something because after endless tinkering, it still doesn't come close.

 

Hello! Is there any discussion or request for devs disable AI headlights on rain/fog weather in VR?

I found a pretty nice setup to have a good image and performance in full grid, reaching 90 fps in PSVR2 without issues or important quality trade-offs. However, as soon as AI enables headlights, the stutter show appears, dropping the frames to 45 reprojection and frametime to +15ms.

 

Will just leave here my experience with PSVR2 and settings for anyone who is curious about or search for it later.

For me, MSAA High and 100% resolution in SteamVR is the good spot of crisp image in VR. However, it adds SO MUCH jagged lines everywhere, which is a huge eye distraction for me.

TAA with 400 sharpening and ini file tweak for max sharpening strength, on top of 120~150% resolution is now ON POINT of best of worlds for me. I got a pretty image, zero jagged lines and a little trade-off of long visuals being a bit blurry (that's why 120~150% resolution is a must here). Aniso x16, Car and track details on ultra, particles on medium and post-processing ON. As said in above comment, the issue is when headlights are on only.

Also, doing some tests with motion smoothing ON in SteamVR. For open wheel cars like F1's this adds a distracting effect on wheels. But in GT's/Stock Car I can't see any visual/distracting anomaly and I think it's worth to use even to play at 120hz.

 

To all Quest 3 users:

1. The Quest 3 can now run at 144Hz using Virtual Desktop or Quest Game Optimizer.

2. Since update 14.0, Quest Game Optimizer has featured a new sharpening function that also works with PCVR. (FSR)

My system doesn't have enough performance to properly test 144Hz/fps; I have to enable SSW, which distorts the natural impression.

However, the new FSR filter is a bit of a hidden "God mode" feature that comes at almost no cost. I don't want to exaggerate, but it makes a huge difference.

Merry Christmas! ;D

 

What do we need to do to use it?

 

I’ve used the PSVR2 with AMS2 and for me, it runs good but not great or amazing, I’ve tried everything, open composite, openxr, blablabla ….i think without eye tracking in pc we can’t extract the full power.

I’ve both the Quest3 and Virtual desktop wow…..I’ve a much much better image, and now with beta by usb…..It’s amazing. My setting is godlike at 90 fps and I’ve fixed 90fps full grid, rain, night…..it was a big improvement and the VD worth the money.

I don’t use upscalling, or Fsr, or something to upgrade/improve the imagem, normally creat artifacts, or ghost or drag something in image.

I’ve an RX7900XTX, it’s not the most powerful but it’s great.

The FSR filter that you talk in last paragraph is in the QGO?

Tomorow I share if I not forgot

 

Yes, starting with version 14.0. There are actually two new filters there that work in PCVR as well. I’d completely forgotten about them.

 

I’ve tried the CAS but I didn’t see any improvement.

 

You need to have operating system version 2.7 installed on the headset.
You just need to download the VD Beta—that's it. Long-press the VD icon, go to settings, and switch from Public to Beta. (144hz)

Or you need the Program Game Quest Optimizer in the last version.
(144hz and the new Filter)

P.S.: You can toggle the filter on and off in real time to make comparisons easier. However, dial back the settings on your filters in VD a bit, otherwise it looks over-sharpened (in my opinion).

 

I’ve the betas software, I use with usb 3.0 cable.

I’ll try. Thanks.

 

Hi all,
I am still using a Windows Mixed Reality Headset (HP Reverb G2) on Windows 10 and I am looking for some valid instructions how to move from steamVR to OpenComposite/OpenXR. It seems the OpenXR Toolkit is not maintained any more and using the DLL from the git repository always leads to a crash when I try to start AMS2. Where could I find some up-to-date instructions (hope there are still some valid ones available ). Thanks for any support

 

Has anyone used a Pimax Crystal Light connected to a Docking station (for Display-port 1.4) successfully? I've read its possible but, it seems there are very few docking stations that are up to the task. I'm running triples at 1440 / 120Hz but that requires all 3 DP-ports on the GPU.

I've experimented with an 8k bi-directional Display-Port switch with some success but, only if my triples run at 60Hz and swapping the cable-connections for VR sessions is just not an option.

 

Hello @LosseyMoosey, Here are my settings on VD 1.34.22 with usb3.0 cable.

I’ve a GPU Amd RX7900XTX with CPU 5700X3d with 48ddr4 Ram, but, I’ve an improvement when uninstall Amd Software adrenaline (I’ve tried all to 26.8.1) and back to old drivers in my casa I’ve installed only the 24.12.1 driver, since 2025 the drivers have some freeze image …..

I don’t use anything like FSR, upscaling, bla bla bla….. only in game like TAA or MSAA, even VD have SSW but I don’t like,…..

I’ve tried today, and yes, the great difference are the colors, much more “alive”, thank you.
