I used to think ASW was better too, but running SSW in auto recently has been pretty good. Try VD again but make sure you are comparing like for like. The difference between VD and meta is very subtle.

The maximum I can get is about 300-350 Mbps. I set h264+ to 200 as this gives me a decide latency of about 10 and the quality still looks good. You could also try HEVC 10 bit at 150. I don't think this is your router as such. It's more likely it is the channel you are using and local "noise". Have you tried using a WiFi scanner app to check if there is any interference on the channel you are using? You can use a tin foil box (Faraday cage) to screen out some interference.

The latest version of v68 PTC fixes the open XR toolkit bug. If it is still something else then I would suggest posting a new topic and supplying full details of your issue.

This is the router I use: Deal: Mercusys AX1800 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router, WiFi Speed up to 1201Mbps/5GHz+574Mbps/2.4GHz, 3 Gigabit LAN Ports, Ideal for Gaming Xbox/PS4/Steam & 4K (MR70X), Black https://amzn.eu/d/3ViDo7U

Try it and see. It's an open XR layer so should be ok. Other open XR layers are fine, such as QVFR and OXRTK.

It's running fine for me. There have been a couple of updates recently. Which one are you using?

Yes. It works for me. I can now run DCS with OXRTK and QVFR using meta cable link.

I would agree with this. There are plans to integrate QVFR with not VD, although mbucchia reports there are a few barriers to overcome first. Hopefully this will happen as it will mean better optimisation and support for QVFR. This is the biggest reason to choose VD over meta. Shall we ask ggodin to rename it to STD?

VD does not allow cable link due to meta not making this option available to third parties. You need a dedicated wifi 6 router connected to your pc via ethernet. I got mine for about £40 from Amazon. Meta cable allows you to go to 960 Mbps whereas the maximum on VD is 400mbos. However, VD allows you to use better video codecs so the differences are not that big. A lot of people run VD out of the box and think meta is better. This is often because they are not comparing like-for-like. You need to make sure the other verall resolution is the same and that you have the same sharpness settings etc. Meta have a default sharpening setting which is very harsh. I am currently using Godlike with QVFR set at centre 1.3, edges 0.5. h264+ at 200 Mbps. With these settings I can get a steady 72 FPS in most situations with good quality and performance.

Try reducing to 80 or 72 Hz. That should reduce your game latency further.

I don't think this approach is officially recommended but it would be worth asking for advice on the VD discord server.

I use this one with VD and it works fine.

I bought a dedicated wifi 6 router from Amazon and it works well for me. I have it next to my PC, connected to my main router via a power line adapter.

Get a used Quest Pro if you can. I got mine for £300 on eBay and have never looked back. It has eye tracking so using QVFR massively reduces GPU load. Pico 4 is also a good choice and a bargain price. I have a lot of experience with both of these. I can't really comment on Q3 other than second hand.

I've had enough with meta. VD is the way forward. @mbucchia Is there any update if meta will allow third parties (i.e. VD) to use link cable?

I'm not sure why you are getting a blurry scene. What are your VD settings? Can you post a screenshot of your in game overlay so we can see your latencies etc?

Why are you using a rate lock? Try running full 90Hz and max out your frame rate. Your other latencies look good so if you can manage a 10ms game latency you're winning.

If VD is optimised the differences to link cable are very subtle in terms of quality and performance. It really depends on how good your wifi connection is and that your latencies are well controlled.

I've given up on meta and am now using VD all the time. Quality and performance are very good.

The F-4 is not too bad. It depends on the map and setting. For meiIt has about 10% more GPU use compared to the F-16 but a bit less than the F-14.

I can’t run ASW with turbo on otherwise it freezes when I remove my headset. I can use turbo with SSW and VD but it does not really do anything.

ASW is smooth as long as the fps does not drop below half the refresh rate. If fps drops below 36 for me (72Hz) then it becomes very stuttery with ASW but less so with SSW.

With your ODT settings you have a very high level of supersampling (as has been said earlier in this thread). What is the output from the meta app? Do you have this set to 1 or maxed out at 1.7. Base resolution of QP is 1800x1920 per eye. If this is set at x1 in the meta app then this would give you 3600x3840. If you are set to x1.7 then IDT x2 will give you 6120x6528. I suspect you are running meta at x1. If you compare this to VD at godlike (3072x3216), you need to add a multiplier of 1.2 to get you to the same resolution as with meta. I would suggest doing this in QVFR. You also have sharpening set to "normal". Try it set to "off" and see how that looks. As Slug says, make sure you are using compatible codecs. Try HEVC 10 bit at 150 mbps then check your latencies. If your decide latency is too high (above about 13-14) switch to h274+ at about 300 Mbps. Make sure you are connected to your wifi 6 dedicated router by cable (to your PC) and that your connection speed is at least 870mbps. My router cost me £45 and works really well.

That's the bug when using turbo on meta. It freezes most of the time when you remove your headset. Even for a few seconds.

As I said above have you tried comparing VD and link cable like for like? If you match resolution, sharpening and optimise bitrate, the difference is very subtle.
