Quest cable v Steam VR.thoughts?

Featured Replies

Have been trying to compare the two buts it’s long winded having to keep switching the runtime selected back and forth.

It appears to me that the Link cable may be a tad smoother.

However it’s difficult to actually confirm, but to me the overall image outside the aircraft just seems to be better in steam link?

anyone care to share their experiences?

run on a quest 2 with a 3080rtx

I haven't tried Steam Link yet and have no intention to given the performance improvement when SteamVR is not in the mix. Will be interested in others thoughts though. FWIW, I find Virtual Desktop a smoother experience that Oculus Link (USB) but the latter offers a slightly sharper image with higher bitrates.

Ryzen 9800X3D, RTX 5090, 64GB, Win 11. MSFS2020. Moza, MFG, Fulcrum & Virpil controllers. Quest 3 for VR.

after trying everything again (and again) oculus link is still the best I can get it out of all the connectivity options, for constant fps and fine details etc  

I've seen quite a few posts on various websites that suggest Virtual Desktop is the best option.  I have not yet tried comparing this with cable.

Virtual Desktop works best for me (3080) by quite a margin

Yep I have reverted back to it  as it allows me to use the open xr toolkit which I cannot get to work in steam link

oh, I thought toolkit worked a month or so back when testing it, but maybe not. I don't think I couldn't get any reprojection to work with it.
