@Paulie8K3 years ago Nice. I have both options setup already but this video is still super useful andfrom my experience, virtual desktop works great for most media, browsing and gaming experiences if your wifi is up to spec. I did notice that half life alyx and asguard' s wrath are so intense that i needed the link cable to have a lag-free experience. That said, i have a 5700xt gpu. Someone without a higher end gpu may have a smoother experience wirelessly in those heavy titles. ...Expand 10

@42pcallahan3 years ago Great video. My sarcastic side says, " if only there were more steps, that' d be super! "
@

@swaygle3 years ago I' m still kind of confused about one part. With virtual desktop, can you download games from your oculus headset onto it? Or is it limited and cannot do that, unlike with the oculus link. 13

@ynsmalik54312 years ago Is it a necessity to download virtual desktop in order to play pc vr?
@

@DemoEvolvedGaming3 years ago Probably the best guide i have seen for this. But also, kinda makes you think, oculus could really make things easier here if they just created their own virtual desktop experience and included it in quest. 2

@ben_ovr92302 years ago Can 2 people play the same pcvr game while using 2 quest 2 headsets at the same time? Or would we both have to buy 2 copies of the same game?

@

@zuccsucc4763 years ago So if i were to buy saints and sinners on the oculus rift and then i did the process, would i have the pcvr version? Vice versa as well? If i bought the pcvr version, would i have the regular quest two version.

@BadRadBR3 years ago This is great stuff! I just ordered your tp-link router, but could you recommend a usb wifi adapter that' ll handle the higher bandwidth thanks! 3
@

@killer9021013 years ago Just as an fyi, if the usb c port isn' t on your graphics card the cable might not recognize as usb 3. 0 which is ideal for oculus link, you are better off using a usb c to usb a 3. 0 cable. Found that out the hard way. 4

@TheARTofMininglast year Hi
i currently develop standalone pc vr based apps using unity with the htc vive.
these are not publicly commercialised they are specialised i am looking to start developing on the oculus quest 2 and was hoping to take advantage of the pcvr tethered mode, using a link cable to a vr ready pc.
my question:
can the quest 2 truly take advantage of using the pc performance in order to get visual performance similar to the htc vive performance in this configuration?
i see plenty of information about using steam based games (pcvr esque) but that is not really what i want to do. My builds are standalone, currently. Exe pc based vr applications for
i am just trying to determine the performance & limitations of the quest for such relating to gpu/cpu use and how it would compare to the htc vive builds.
there does not seem to be a clear document that addresses these specifics from a developers point of view, but plenty info for the end user which even does not make it fully clear.
ideally i would have smaller graphical scale apk' s for quest 2 in standalone mode. And the option to also use the quest 2 tethered to my pc to gain the added performance if that' s how it works?
appreciate anyone' s feedback!
