      Thanks for all the effort put in testing this stuff. I've also spent many hours trying to stabilise AC with my Quest 3, finally finding out last week that many of my issues were simply the Pure Grass plugin. Disabling fixed pretty much everything.
      Regarding the link cable, I have just ordered the INNU after trying the Syntech version which didn't work with the standard Quest 3 charger plugged in, so after ordering a Ugreen 65w usb-c charger and 65w cable I was confident it would finally work, but no... It still slowly discharges. So I am now pinned to this cable and I really hope it does work and hold charge.

    I have a Quest Pro and thought I’d try out these settings. Happy to report they’ve worked a treat and I’m now enjoying seamless 90hz performance in ACC. I had to tweak in-game video settings slightly to find the balance but it now looks and runs extremely well with around 25% headroom.
    Tried on AMS2 on the Le Mans circuit with the fast LMDh cars and runs as smooth as butter with a mix of weather conditions and night driving. It does look less over sharpened and more natural and I can now see the benefits of running 90hz. (4090 & 58003dx). Thanks again, top job!

    Thankyou GM, for taking the time to do this, as I finally feel like I have something substantial to replace my aging original RIFT with a good start as to the correct settings to use out of the box. On a side note - really like those white "more information" boxes your using in your editor, as to me they look very professional compared to the horribly amateur graphs I see on some other Channels. These "HOW TO GUIDES" can often be some of the best viewed video's - so maybe after half a dozen Q3 updates, you could revisit this in a the next year or so, to further expand on any improvements that you've found, specifically for Sim Racing & Flight Sims?

    This a vey good guide on how to use Link imho. Thanks for sharing this mate. This should get most people good results and afterwards they can fine tune things to their liking. The only thing I'd like to add is that it's important to run the oculus desktop app device settings usb speed test. You should get at least 2.2Gbps (preferably at least 2.4Gbps). If you cannot get this you may want to try a different usb3 port and/or cable. I have slightly different Link settings but this is probably more of a personal preference thing. The main thing is that I think that yours are a good place for newbies to start off with. Thanks again mate and best cheers from Australia.

    • @GamerMuscleVideos
      @GamerMuscleVideos  Год назад +2

      2.2Gbps is 275 MBps which is almost 3x 900 Mbps.
      So in theory a cable and USB port of slower speed , even 1Gbps should work perfectly fine.
      What's more important is that the port is USB 3 and the power settings are right.
      Be interesting if someone has done actual direct testing of data rates , specific ports and cables of different data rates.
      In the past with oculus stuff the biggest issue was due to specific USB ports / USB bus / USB power
      Tomthe point some USB cards / busses didn't work even though they should have been fine.
      What I noticed is lots of people repeating x cable speed is needed x bit rate is needed y is better as it's faster or x should categorically be done.
      But all they are doing is just repeating best case scenarios that are often well beyond what is needed for things to be perfectly fine.
      For example the iniu link cable I use is half the bandwidth of the official link cable , but it doesn't matter as half the bandwidth is still way over what is needed.

    • @tomc1380
      @tomc1380 Год назад

      @@GamerMuscleVideos Sorry but the point I'm trying to make is that people should run the Oculus desktop app usb speed test and make sure it's at least in the 2.0-2.4Gbps range. Otherwise, you won't get good results with Link imho. If you are getting good results with Link I'm pretty sure you'll find that you're in this range, or maybe a bit better.

    There's a connection order for that link cable. It should be written on the charging block bit. If you plug it in in the right order the charging doesn't lose battery percentage as you play it stays charged. I only noticed it today as mine was running the battery down even plugged in to the charger. But i plugged it in in the right order. plug the power lead in then plug the link cable into headset and finally plug the other end into your PC and it will stay charged.

    • @Mike23443
      @Mike23443 3 месяца назад +1

      For me the order doesn't matter. I mean technically it does, but only beyond 70% battery charge. If you replug normally, it will charge fine up to 70% then it will drop and start losing charge while charging. If you replug it in when it's back down to 50 or something it will then charge normally again.

I have the same link cable as you, the same CPU, a 3080 and with what I considered low CM AC settings I'm getting what I believe are big CPU related stutters in every AC test I've tried and I feel like I'm going mad. So, I look forward to your CM AC settings to replicate them and hopefully validate that I am not in fact going mad.

    Before I was only changing the steamVR render resolution. And even with 400% it was not that clear as it is now with these settings. Now I have in steamVR just automatic resolution selected. So it should be 100% and that 4864 x 2592 in oculus app. fpsVR actually shows ingame 3000x3232 and global steam res settings to 150%. Numbers all over the place but it is stable and looks amazing! Game I tested was Half Life Alyx on ULTRA preset.
    Setup is GPU 7900 XTX Sapphire Nitro+, cpu 7800 x3d, 32 gb 6000 mhz ram, oculus quest 3.

      Agreed. WiFi is nowhere near ready to handle the bandwidth needed for VR in particular. And Physics means it likely never will be. The higher the bandwidth, the higher the frequency needed, which eventually comes to resemble the characteristics of visible light. Already, the VD zealots are demanding a 15 foot line-of-sight to the very latest dedicated router. At some point, you have to say “Why not just use a cable then?”

    The tangent multiplier reduction is gold, there is so much performance available reducing this. I can't see any difference with 0.9 horizontal, for vertical I go down to 0.75, all I see is a small border on the bottom but quickly forget, for me vertical is not important, like viewing on a super ultrawide vs a bigger 16.9 display. For the performance headroom you on the table people need to at least try.

    Years following the channel GamerMuscle always keep his consistency on great informative videos, you deserve more subs. Thank you.
    Update: I would like to know how much GBps you are getting with this cable? I bought a white cable with an extra USB C plug to plug directly to the charger while in PCVR and it charges great but the transfer speed on the test is 1.8 GBps and I think this is affecting me on making the Link connection run on 90hz instead of 120hz unfortunately, when I run on 120hz the latency is laggy and the audio also starts to glitch out, I'm pretty sure it is the cable speed's fault, curious to know your's speed for comparison, charging while in PCVR is a huge deal for me.

  • @1SaG
    @1SaG 4 месяца назад +3

    If it's anything like it was on my old Rift-S, you very much want to disable asynchronous spacewarp in flightsims. In Il-2 it will cause all sorts of weirdness whenever it kicks in - in my case it made planes' wings look like they were flapping. Also: I'm not sure I'd take resolution over refresh-rate. I tried both options on my Reverb G2, meaning:
    1. 60 Hz with full resolution and in-game details cranked up to nearly maximum, and
    2. 90 Hz with reduced resolution (~80 to 85%, but no FSR/NIS) and very conservative in-game settings.
    Of course: 60Hz and native res is/was almost a joke, even to the 4070 I used until recently. No drops in FPS whatsoever at that setting. But: Anytime I tried 60 Hz, I always reverted back to 90 Hz with reduced res/graphics-settings very quickly. While you can make the game look a lot better "on paper" at a lower refresh-rate, the sensation of immersion just isn't as good as on 90 Hz. For me it was like 60 Hz felt like I was looking at a simulation while 90 Hz felt like I was actually sitting inside the cockpit. Well worth the reduction in pixels and eye-candy, IMO.
    I would also highly recommend *not* using SteamVR but to go OpenComposite/OpenXR instead - especially if you're not blessed with a 4090 as SteamVR is a bit of a performance hog.

    For everybody out there that want to buy a headset for SIM RACING ONLY I suggest to get a used Quest pro. I own both a Q pro and a Q3 and it is better in every way except for resolution and possibly comfort cause there are more options for the Q3 when it comes to 3rd party head straps. Local dimming, DFR (game changer for sims) and better colors gives you a better overall image quality and more FPS. Eye tracking is a necessity in every new headset to lower those crazy hardware requirements. I don't own a PSVR2 but I can tell you that there is now way that GT7 VR exists without eye tracking.

I really think that this combo is the sweet spot right now for vr because you can pretty much run anything at 90 fps on really high settings(don't get me wrong it's still not perfect ).

    Have you tried adjusting Encode Resolution Width. The max for quest 3 is 4128 (1:1). But I would start with 700-900 (copy/paste) and see if you notice any change in resolution. You should notice improvement. Encode resolution width is output resolution. It's the resolution of image that is actually output to the display. I believe the quest 2 max was 3664 (I probably haven't changed mine since upgrading to Quest 3). Give it a try and let me know your thoughts

    Just a heads up, if you intend to play on air link afterwards make sure to set the bitrate back to 0 (default) as air link can only handle up to 200

  • @jellowiggler
    @jellowiggler Год назад +1

    Traditionally (on the Q2) the encoding bit rate was set to max 288, this is the bit rate where Oculus couldn't see a good performance to quality improvement. 300 is great. In motion you will likely not be able to see difference above that. Above 300 you are just adding latency and work with little benefit. I think default on the cable is 250.
    The theoretical max on USB cable is 5Gbps. Usually this measures at 2400-2700bmps. All of the video plus control and camera traffic, etc needs to fit in that limit. So it should be pretty easy to have lots of head room.

    I only have quest 2 but find lowering the fov multiplier to 0.8 (vertical) and about 0.4 (horizontal) - similar to helmet cam view (realism!) means you can push lots of other settings higher as it is only rendering about a third of the area - most of what you are missing is the roof liner of your car and your legs, so not a big deal really - personally prefer to see nothing and save resources than have horrible ffr making most of the screen look terrible. The pixels per display pixel override setting as high as your computer can handle (1.2 -1.6?) makes big difference to quality as well.

  • @gfoyle6571
    @gfoyle6571 Год назад +3

    The point with limiting the FOV is to limit the vertical fov only. Yes, you get letterbox, but you don't need a lot of FOV vertically in car sims for anything. I at least don't need to see my fake virtual skinny legs (if I really want to, I can just look down more). Even with low as 0.3 it's still similar vertical fov as with ultrawide and you can image you have helmet where the vertical fov is limited quite a lot. Initially it didn't look that great, but after a while, I couldn't even notice it.
    As for horizontal fov, I don't really limit that much at all.
    In AMS2 at least, you need like 30-40% headroom (in the performance overlay of the oculus debug tool) to avoid getting fps problems in night/rain conditions with many cars behind you with headlights. Naturally the game graphic settings affect that as well as well as you PC (I have pretty similar computer as GM has). Only way I was really to achieve smooth performance in all conditions, was to limit the vertical fov a lot. At least in AMS2, lowering the graphical settings didn't help enough to make nearly as big impact.

    • @nicki9knuckles
      @nicki9knuckles Год назад

      @@GamerMuscleVideos ok, its probably set to openXR if you havn't changed any of the settings, though for me sometimes it seem to switch it to steamVR without me having manually done anything. In order to see this setting you can do this:
      1. Open your Oculus software.
      2. Navigate to Settings -> General.
      3. Click the 'Set Oculus as active' button to choose Oculus as your active OpenXR runtime. Depending on your Oculus software version this option can be under 'General'

    Although everyone trying to dodge the price of the official cable prob doesn't help lol I just got that anyway and always kept my q2 fully charged I noticed my q3 slowly drops but something stupid like 1% every 20-30min while racing so don't think it will ever be a prob. Just need to get a good quality magnetic adapter now to save my usb c port as my q2s is fairly loose now it doesn't hold the plug tight

    The USB test in the Meta/Oculus desktop app will tell you what bitrate your current cable+USB port can do. If you get less than 2.6 Gbp/s on your cable test, it's most likely your USB port.

    • @GamerMuscleVideos

      It shouldn't matter which one is used , but open xr advantage would be it won't require HMD reset / restart to change.
      But HMD rez has advantage it will apply to all games , so maybe best option is setting it to what I did in video but with open xr with games that you can use open xr higher rez.

      Yah link cable settings in this video really look the same as other head sets with HDMI and you really don't get artefacts , maybe sometimes some details are too smooth but nothing most people would notice and only noticable if you hyper focus / run at lower bit rates.
      from Comments in live streams and what I read online I think lots of people have only used the default link cable settings , then used Virtual desktop and decided based off that.

    Hello, i was wondering if you could do an updated video towards meta quest 3. I also got myself meta quest 3 few weeks ago and using it with steamvr and meta quest app together with linked cable. Ive got a 3060ti and i5 13400f with 2x16gb ddr4 ram and i was wondering if these specs would be good enough for iracing vr racing + streaming on twitch? I have no idea how to properly setup the steamvr settings nor the meta quest settings such as hz and resolution or in game settings or the debug tool with today's quest 3 updates.. I think you got iracing from the site rightaway so you may not have any idea with steamvr but i wanted to ask anyway. Ive tried other vr supported racing games/sims but it seemed like i am either losing so much fps even on lowest settings or im using the wrong graphics settings i have no idea. It just goes around 1-2 fps sometimes. I dont want to feel like i wasted my money on getting the quest 3 so i need help pls
