I wish more people understood just how incredible pcvr really is. I’ve had so many of my friends ask why I use pcvr instead of just standalone and no amount of reasoning can get them to understand.
Standalone is awesome and is constantly improving but if I have the choice, I’ll always take the PCVR version of a game over it, I personally just find it to always be a better experience.

Most people seem to agree that VD is superior. However, it is a paid app. The airlink quality so far has not disappointed me. The only time I noticed any compression was when I would pause the game or leave the boundary for some time (around a minute or so) and return. It would become blurry and pixelated for some time but returns to normal soon enough. I even consider airlink performance better than steamlink for myself.
Can’t get my head around all of this to be honest. Always used rift s 2 for games via steam Can’t get my head around why a rift s would have no problem with pcvr steams games whereas I have to faff around downloading stuff to get the same thing from a quest 3 Correct me if I’m wrong 👍
I'll take native PC VR via Display port over USB or WiFi Streaming any day. The quest PC VR support is even more lazy than the PS VR2s upcoming PC VR support. Ether way I'll stick to my index.
I got a quest 3 using wireless link to virtual desktop and steam vr.. no cables, max settings, it’s been amazing. First experience with VR.. now if only we could get some AAA games
HLA is a real AAA game. So is asgards wrath 2. Into the radius 2 is out, and metro VR is a AAA vr game coming out soon. VR already has a bunch of AAA games and more are on the way.
If you havent yet i really recommend using steam link through the quest 3 to run games for lower latency. While not a triple A game, blade and sorcery (not nomad) just had its full release and is genuinely the coolest experience ive had in a while
@@DACInf see it feels janky to me. Wasn’t a fan.. I use virtual desktop to use steam. It’s by far the best route. You can really crank resolution and bitrate way up.. everything looks 10x better than just using the quest 3 itself.
I can tell you right now PCVR on the Q3 via fibre optic link is first class....! Graphics are super sharp and run smooth as silk. I'm using a 3080 btw.
@kevinconnell8422 Q3 can be used as a stand alone headset and run installed games without the need for any other device or it can be connected to a PC from which you can run any VR application thereby using the Q3 as a display headset. For example I play Skyrim VR from my PC on the Q3.
Use a minimum of two cable ties with the second Velcro strap way tighter if you value your Q3\2\pro HMD TYPE C port, all my headset ports work just like new and ive used them for many years of daily use. Plus it keeps the cable out of the way.
Thank god for Steam Link. It works way better than air link and virtual desktop. No latency, weird artefacts and its reliable. Now my damn pcvr games are playable.
I need to try that cause my Link works but when I use it on the oculus app it goes to 1fps and it's literally unplayable even though I bought a USB 3 to use it. I hope the steam link works

Glad I found I could play pcvr games on quest because the first day I got my quest 2 I searched up h3 vr but it didn’t show up but now I’m playing the game
im pretty sure when people are asking to compare with pcvr they dont mean quest 2, they actually mean true pcvr headset like cv1 and other pcvr headset to see if they should upgrade
YES THIS!!!! I cannot stand Quest 2 link because the compression and added latency compared to my Index and CV1 is not worth it for me and it's hard to find actual resources to see if the Q3 Link or even Wifi 6e with is is worth the upgrade
I've noticed the Quest 3 losing power when plugged in with the PC link cable, even when not using it. Didn't happen with the Quest 2. It sucks having to disconnect it and plug it into a wall. Part of me thinks they did it just to get people to buy the charge base.
the quest 2’s battery still drained while playing link, but not when it’s off. you could invest in kuject’s link cable to mitigate the battery dying, or something similar.

Man, ive been trying to get my hands on pcvr for the longest time but all thr pcs ive ever seen hsve been like 2500$ for like the bsre minimum requirements
The Apple Vision Pro, worth over $3,500, has about the same amount of time before it dies, too. It lasts for roughly 2-1/2 hours. Bad battery life come with the territory when you’re dealing with VR Headsets. That’s why they make portable battery packs you can buy to extend the time. But really, who needs more than 2 hours? People looking for neck problems/eye fatigue? Lol
@@jarvismane6700 if your neck can't handle that then you are just weak ngl, and most people need more than 2 hours of gameplay. I mean i usually play 2-5 hours on vr if i really get into it.

I was thinking of buying either a quest 3 or a gaming pc(RTX4060) to play pcvr with my quest 1. I already have quest 1, and I can only afford either quest 3 or a gaming pc. What do you think is better buying a gaming pc to play top AA pcvr games with my quest 1or buying the quest 3 and play the standalone games from meta library?
Definitely a gaming pc, as it opens up so many more avenues than just VR, and it will also breathe life back into your Quest 1 which is not really supported as a standalone anymore. The Quest 3 is great, and a sizeable upgrade from the Quest 1, but you can always pick one up later down the line once they’ve got a bit cheaper.
I'd recommend a better gpu. Many games run poorly with my 3060ti. Kayak only runs on lowest and it looks worst then native graphics at that point. Contractors I can run 120 though
Yep, there’s multiple ways. You can do it through Air Link, Steam Link and Virtual Desktop. The first 2 are free and virtual desktop is a paid app, but I personally find it to be the best. The quality of connection between your headset and your PC comes down to how good your router is and how it’s connected, it has NOTHING to do with your internet speed. I recommend watching a few videos on the best set ups for each app :)
I recommend not using cable and using virtual desktop. No need for wires these days. If you set it up well it's actually been proven to be better in most cases cause the insane lengths of cables people buy and how good wireless is these days. Plus who wants a cable tying them down? No one that's why buy a wireless vr headset
@@LouRaX supersampling and more settings makes that compression mean nothing. Looks way better. If you are playing VR games that is sitting sure plug in if you want but for full active playspace games screw cables. I have had more issues with using cables as the oculus headsets have always had extremely weak usb c ports on them. I even use a mag charger for my batter packs so dont have to plug and unplug so often
@@str8ripn881 games like arizone Sunshine are no Problem with the Cable... the best way would be to have a roof vr Cable Mangament where the cable just flows and extends with no resistance if you move
Not everybody wants a 5 or 6 GHz Wifi emitter plus exta battery on the head for hours. It is like a cell phone constantly operating on your forehead. I like the cable solution for long PC sessions.
Is there a way I can play pc vr without steam vr or using the Internet in anyway just got my quest 3 and can only seem to find airlinek or steam link 🤔 I never needed this with my old gen 1 oculas quest a video on this would be grate as I have a powerful pc and don't want the Internet to be a graphics bottle neck
@@Maxste-qy6pf When streaming wirelessly, to your pc, whether it’s through Airlink, Steam Link or Virtual Desktop, you’re not actually using your internet connection, you’re just using the Wi-Fi signal of the router between your pc and the headset, your quality will be dependent on the router itself. Other than that, I’m afraid a cable is the only way to have to connect it without using Wi-Fi. If you don’t want to use steam, then just use the oculus/Meta pc software.
@@kimtech5317 Annoyingly, the Quest 2/3 can’t get enough power from a PC’s USB to keep the headset from dying. It will slow the battery drain, but it uses it faster than it can charge it. Best option would to be to look at getting a hot swappable battery pack, like the ones from BOBOVR.
Yeah, well you know what sucks. I have a PC that has the minimum specs for PCVR yeah oculus PCVR sucks so much for me since my PC has the minimum specs and yes, it does run certain games but the thing is I could use steam VR and it’ll run so much better than oculus PCvr
@@syedaminjazmisysulaiman6286 once it’s connected to your pc, either through a cable or wireless, launch a VR game on steam and it should show up on your headset. RE village won’t work though, as it’s only native VR on the PS5 and PSVR2. Though you can download Praydog’s mod to turn it into VR on PC.
@@Duggybud Well technically yes and no because sure the fps depends on your pc but isn’t having better better graphics also a part of how well something runs?
@@nahnvm8493 nope, it would have the same graphics, and same performance. Only difference is the resolution which isn’t anything to do with how it would run lol
Unfortunately not, it does charge and will make it last a little longer than playing standalone, but it doesn’t charge faster than drains. Best option is to play wirelessly via airlink/virtual desktop and have a battery pack hooked up, as that can maintain the charge a bit better
The Quest 2 is still very good, but at this point I would say go for the Quest 3, as there are already games in development that will only be playable on Quest 3. It won’t happen overnight, but Quest 2 will eventually be left behind.
@@poonzy7112 make sure you’ve download the oculus/meta PC software and the the software and your headset are fully up to date. If you’ve done that, it may be an issue with the cable you’re using. Give wireless airlink/steam link a go, if you have a good router.
@@Lamfordsfyi, link jas not been a supported feature at meta since John carmack left the company. Which has been over a year now. The only way to play PCVR is through steamlink or VD. Do not ever use that link trash.
@@andreato7333 unfortunately not, though new updates will make it slightly better. If you don’t want to buy a 3rd pert battery strap, then the best way I’ve found to get the most out of it is to play PCVR with Virtual Desktop and have the headset charged with a strong power bank. Just have it strapped to the back of the headset or in your pocket. I’ve been able to get about 6 hours before the headset eventually runs out. It’s a shame, but that’s the downside with standalone.
@@Lamfords Damn, so it would be a downgrade from Quest 2. I play only PCVR linked with an USB cable to the pc. And even if the battery drains, i finish gaming long before the battery drains completely. I was hoping around 3/4 hours with a cable to pc. Thanks for answering.
@@andreato7333 happy to help! Hopefully there can be some workaround in the future with system updates and better optimisation, but till then, we’re stuck with this.
Good but actually shitty. Battery sucks, also charging sucks :(. You can’t play and charge bcs they designed it like that so 2hrs with pc connected is max. Even if you would connect directly 65w charger from MacBook it can’t charge it while using it will be kept at the same percentage or very slowly declining. So ye I’m saying that Headset is amazing but even with it plugged in all the time you can’t be sure your battery will have enough charge to last you a longer gaming period. Not only during the game but even in main menu ;) and with game will be even worse (depending ofcourse on kind of the game). They pretty much did the worst mistake / f***ed up with this charging and architecture of it. Even the strap with external battery that you could buy on their website disappeared bcs it couldn’t charge the headset and ppl were complaining. Nothing can make you sure your cable/external battery with 3rd party head strap or even original one will make headset stays on while playing all the time. :(
just returned my quest 3 for full refund.. great vr quality wrapped in a very poor designed glasses that hurt your forehead and really sucks keep on for more then 10-20min The great vr quality is crushed by a dealbreaker design.
That’s fair, but did you look into 3rd party headstrap alternatives? There’s some really great ones out there that make it way more comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The default strap that comes with the headset is awful, and it probably ruins the initial experience!
@@Lamfords i bought elite strap. and i tryed diffrent face cover.. did not help also the extra battery in the elite strap drained empty in 10min.. but i think it was ruined from before unboxing as it show 0% charge before i do anything.. a battery that stay a long time with 0% charge will be broken. the headset itself had 3%charge so that must have been in that box a long time if they charged before packing.
@@Shadows_101 yeah I’ve not heard good things about the elite strap. It sucks that you had such a bad experience. Hopefully you’ll give it another go in a few years after they clear some of the issues up!
@@Lamfords i wrote and asked bigscreen beyond developers about their tiny vr set, that look amazingly small and only get good reviews. offcause you need pc on those but i used that on meta anyway..Meta3 the virtual desktop actually worked great, did not on meta 2 :)

Man, ive been trying to get my hands on pcvr for the longest time but all thr pcs ive ever seen hsve been like 2500$ for like the bsre minimum requirements
Yo scratch the quest LOOK AT THAT PC!?!?!
The quest 3 would be an amazing headset😊 if it sidn't die after 2 hours of gameplay...
The Apple Vision Pro, worth over $3,500, has about the same amount of time before it dies, too. It lasts for roughly 2-1/2 hours. Bad battery life come with the territory when you’re dealing with VR Headsets. That’s why they make portable battery packs you can buy to extend the time. But really, who needs more than 2 hours? People looking for neck problems/eye fatigue? Lol
@@jarvismane6700 if your neck can't handle that then you are just weak ngl, and most people need more than 2 hours of gameplay. I mean i usually play 2-5 hours on vr if i really get into it. I never got eye fatigue. Even when i first started playing vr. And you know i have been playing vr for a while, cuz i still use htc vive, yeah. Im that old. But i mean yeah there are portable batteries. But you have to pay for it.
Hey what link cable do you use?!? And could you possibly share a link?
I peeped those presonus monitors.
Plsss reply... I am gonna buy a q3 soon and am gonna use it for pcvr on my rtx 4080 laptop sooo should i get the 128 or 512 gb version???? Pls someone help me im too indecisive 😭😭😭
hey you should go with 512 gb imo as it would be better for the future and give you some peace of mind trying new things
@@godofeternals..why did you reply to yourself
@@curse7469 cus no one did ... 🥲 And I'm wiser than I was yesterday 😂😂😂 also the 512gb one is currently sitting on my desk in its case 😄😄
I was thinking of buying either a quest 3 or a gaming pc(RTX4060) to play pcvr with my quest 1. I already have quest 1, and I can only afford either quest 3 or a gaming pc.
What do you think is better buying a gaming pc to play top AA pcvr games with my quest 1or buying the quest 3 and play the standalone games from meta library?
Definitely a gaming pc, as it opens up so many more avenues than just VR, and it will also breathe life back into your Quest 1 which is not really supported as a standalone anymore. The Quest 3 is great, and a sizeable upgrade from the Quest 1, but you can always pick one up later down the line once they’ve got a bit cheaper.
thanks so much man
steamvr link is better for quest 2 in my experience
Which GPU do you need for cable VR with the Quest 3 ? I have a RTX 3060.
A 3060 will work great with VR 👍
I'd recommend a better gpu. Many games run poorly with my 3060ti. Kayak only runs on lowest and it looks worst then native graphics at that point. Contractors I can run 120 though
@@Gh0stz9211 thx, I have upgraded to a RTX 4080 and a Ryzen 7800 X3D. I am in heaven now. 😁
It’s okay in my opinion I use through link
can i play pcvr using the quest 3 without the cable, just wireless? (it’s my first time buying a VR and i know nothing about them)
Yep, there’s multiple ways. You can do it through Air Link, Steam Link and Virtual Desktop. The first 2 are free and virtual desktop is a paid app, but I personally find it to be the best. The quality of connection between your headset and your PC comes down to how good your router is and how it’s connected, it has NOTHING to do with your internet speed. I recommend watching a few videos on the best set ups for each app :)
@@Lamfords Thank you so much!💯❤️
why don't use wireless connection. e.g. Virtual Desktop?
longer play session
sometimes there is really bad compression and there is a 2 hour limit with only wireless
What ate your pc specs?
Nice!
AirLink looks not as good as standalone for me. 5 hours of customer support later and no results lol
Then use the link cable
Game name?
Pcvr with quest 3 is so much money, I have a 1200 dollar pc and still lags… lol
So I know the quest cable is official but it doesn't charge right?
Can you fish in that game cause man that will hold me there all day
Is it better than quest 2 for wireless
Definitely, it's got a much faster processor, also supports Wifi-6E, and AV1 encoding for 4000 series NVIDIA or 7000 series AMD
@@CherryProductions949 ok
What is the minimum GPU you recommend for this?
depends on the games you'll be playing
game name plz
Use the Airlink. It’s 2024 already.
Virtual Desktop is the better choice.
Who is game name?
What's that game called
I recommend not using cable and using virtual desktop. No need for wires these days. If you set it up well it's actually been proven to be better in most cases cause the insane lengths of cables people buy and how good wireless is these days. Plus who wants a cable tying them down? No one that's why buy a wireless vr headset
sometimes there is really bad compression
@@LouRaX supersampling and more settings makes that compression mean nothing. Looks way better. If you are playing VR games that is sitting sure plug in if you want but for full active playspace games screw cables. I have had more issues with using cables as the oculus headsets have always had extremely weak usb c ports on them. I even use a mag charger for my batter packs so dont have to plug and unplug so often
@@str8ripn881 games like arizone Sunshine are no Problem with the Cable... the best way would be to have a roof vr Cable Mangament where the cable just flows and extends with no resistance if you move
To be fair its just link thats shitty.
A good 700mbit alvr is probably one of the better wired experiences.
Not everybody wants a 5 or 6 GHz Wifi emitter plus exta battery on the head for hours. It is like a cell phone constantly operating on your forehead. I like the cable solution for long PC sessions.
Game?
Is there a way I can play pc vr without steam vr or using the Internet in anyway just got my quest 3 and can only seem to find airlinek or steam link 🤔 I never needed this with my old gen 1 oculas quest a video on this would be grate as I have a powerful pc and don't want the Internet to be a graphics bottle neck
@@Maxste-qy6pf When streaming wirelessly, to your pc, whether it’s through Airlink, Steam Link or Virtual Desktop, you’re not actually using your internet connection, you’re just using the Wi-Fi signal of the router between your pc and the headset, your quality will be dependent on the router itself. Other than that, I’m afraid a cable is the only way to have to connect it without using Wi-Fi. If you don’t want to use steam, then just use the oculus/Meta pc software.
While I plug in to the Pc my VR always running out of battery and it did show charging while playing it . Know any error ?
@@kimtech5317 Annoyingly, the Quest 2/3 can’t get enough power from a PC’s USB to keep the headset from dying. It will slow the battery drain, but it uses it faster than it can charge it. Best option would to be to look at getting a hot swappable battery pack, like the ones from BOBOVR.
Do you guys know what game his play?
Yeah, well you know what sucks. I have a PC that has the minimum specs for PCVR yeah oculus PCVR sucks so much for me since my PC has the minimum specs and yes, it does run certain games but the thing is I could use steam VR and it’ll run so much better than oculus PCvr
Is pcvr free?
You made that pc yourself !?
But how to link it with steam, i wanna play re village
@@syedaminjazmisysulaiman6286 once it’s connected to your pc, either through a cable or wireless, launch a VR game on steam and it should show up on your headset. RE village won’t work though, as it’s only native VR on the PS5 and PSVR2. Though you can download Praydog’s mod to turn it into VR on PC.
Yeah no shit it performs better than the quest 2
It won’t preform any better, just looks better
@@Duggybud Well technically yes and no because sure the fps depends on your pc but isn’t having better better graphics also a part of how well something runs?
@@nahnvm8493 nope, it would have the same graphics, and same performance. Only difference is the resolution which isn’t anything to do with how it would run lol
Woudnt it run worse? Higher resolution requires more computing power?
@@johannesoma4663 it’s being run from the pc, so it would run the same
Why is this video so dystopian for some reason.
Do i need to cennect it to my pc or is it all in one
It’s an all in one standalone headset, but can be connected to a PC to play PCVR.
Does it work with iPhone?
Yes, you have to download the Meta Quest app to set up the headsets, and then from there you can download apps and even stream the gameplay to it.
does it stay charged when playing through link cable
Unfortunately not, it does charge and will make it last a little longer than playing standalone, but it doesn’t charge faster than drains. Best option is to play wirelessly via airlink/virtual desktop and have a battery pack hooked up, as that can maintain the charge a bit better
im still not upgrading until it gets cheaper
buy a used one in good condition
don't buy from delivery only sellers because it's probably a scam
Should I get the quest 3 or the quest 2?
The Quest 2 is still very good, but at this point I would say go for the Quest 3, as there are already games in development that will only be playable on Quest 3. It won’t happen overnight, but Quest 2 will eventually be left behind.
@@Lamfords Also can the quest 3 play steam
@@anmordi285 yep, as long as you have a strong enough pc
@@Lamfords yay!! Thank you
It won’t let me use quest link to play pcvr games ?
@@poonzy7112 make sure you’ve download the oculus/meta PC software and the the software and your headset are fully up to date. If you’ve done that, it may be an issue with the cable you’re using. Give wireless airlink/steam link a go, if you have a good router.
@@Lamfords yeah it’s all updated and the cable is brand new, I would use air link but the frame drops kill me
@@Lamfordsfyi, link jas not been a supported feature at meta since John carmack left the company. Which has been over a year now.
The only way to play PCVR is through steamlink or VD.
Do not ever use that link trash.
@@poonzy7112use VD or steamlink.
Oculus Link isn't a supported technology since over a year ago.
Can it run koikatsu?
Head pain💀
Link cable used?
Kuject Link Cable, was around $20.
@@LamfordsHow does the Quest 3 perform battery wise while connected via cable with usb? Do you still get more battery life than using it standalone?
@@andreato7333 unfortunately not, though new updates will make it slightly better. If you don’t want to buy a 3rd pert battery strap, then the best way I’ve found to get the most out of it is to play PCVR with Virtual Desktop and have the headset charged with a strong power bank. Just have it strapped to the back of the headset or in your pocket. I’ve been able to get about 6 hours before the headset eventually runs out. It’s a shame, but that’s the downside with standalone.
@@Lamfords Damn, so it would be a downgrade from Quest 2. I play only PCVR linked with an USB cable to the pc. And even if the battery drains, i finish gaming long before the battery drains completely. I was hoping around 3/4 hours with a cable to pc. Thanks for answering.
@@andreato7333 happy to help! Hopefully there can be some workaround in the future with system updates and better optimisation, but till then, we’re stuck with this.
Relaxing? Lol I want to be immersed in a 3D world I don't want to do exercise for that I will go outside and exercise
Whats the game?

SHUT IT AND TAKE MY MONEY NOW
Bro were your straps
This headset is just trash 😮😮😮
Gorilla tag:
Good but actually shitty. Battery sucks, also charging sucks :(. You can’t play and charge bcs they designed it like that so 2hrs with pc connected is max. Even if you would connect directly 65w charger from MacBook it can’t charge it while using it will be kept at the same percentage or very slowly declining. So ye I’m saying that Headset is amazing but even with it plugged in all the time you can’t be sure your battery will have enough charge to last you a longer gaming period. Not only during the game but even in main menu ;) and with game will be even worse (depending ofcourse on kind of the game). They pretty much did the worst mistake / f***ed up with this charging and architecture of it. Even the strap with external battery that you could buy on their website disappeared bcs it couldn’t charge the headset and ppl were complaining. Nothing can make you sure your cable/external battery with 3rd party head strap or even original one will make headset stays on while playing all the time. :(
Hi
whattttttttttttt is thats pccccccccccccccccccc
just returned my quest 3 for full refund.. great vr quality wrapped in a very poor designed glasses that hurt your forehead and really sucks keep on for more then 10-20min
The great vr quality is crushed by a dealbreaker design.
That’s fair, but did you look into 3rd party headstrap alternatives? There’s some really great ones out there that make it way more comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The default strap that comes with the headset is awful, and it probably ruins the initial experience!
@@Lamfords i bought elite strap. and i tryed diffrent face cover.. did not help
also the extra battery in the elite strap drained empty in 10min.. but i think it was ruined from before unboxing as it show 0% charge before i do anything.. a battery that stay a long time with 0% charge will be broken. the headset itself had 3%charge so that must have been in that box a long time if they charged before packing.
@@Shadows_101 yeah I’ve not heard good things about the elite strap. It sucks that you had such a bad experience. Hopefully you’ll give it another go in a few years after they clear some of the issues up!
@@Lamfords i wrote and asked bigscreen beyond developers about their tiny vr set, that look amazingly small and only get good reviews. offcause you need pc on those but i used that on meta anyway..Meta3 the virtual desktop actually worked great, did not on meta 2 :)
