Oculus Quest 2 - Worth it!

[Hoirtel]

A very disappointing and perhaps predictable event from oculus/facebook/meta/whoeveryouarenow 

No new hardware out soon, one tease of a new social/productivity headset named "Cambria" which will be out at some point next year. Odd that a new fresh branding for a new "open and inclusive" company called the headset Cambria (Analytica?) and the company is called Meta(data?). The laugh is on us....

Slightly disappointing end to four VR events. Only Pimax and Varjo have anything interesting and the Varjo is cheaper and quickest to sale! I think Valve will add something to the space we are interested in but no announcement on their announcements, so hmm. Wait for that.

Seems the Q2 is still worth it considering the price.

And like the guys have said quest2 with the new update V33 looks great .

Yeah. I didn't think it would work out like that when I watched the event. I'm sure things will be different in a year or so and that this fidelity will be available for less. Q2 is still a great purchase!

Hi guys

any idea why I can' use oculus link cable ?

it works perfectly with virtual desktop via wifi, but under oculus, I have something like 2 fps

 

thanks

I have a 9700K@5Ghz and a RTX2070 (not Super)   v33 or v34 for both Oculus Tool and Quest 2
Q2 90Hz at max 5408x2736

ODT / OTT (I use both) 
Pixels per Display Pixel Override (Default Super Sampling)   = 1.1
OTT - ASW 30Hz - some folks prefer OFF
FOV (.8;.8 )
Note: Use in DCS  Ctrl+Pause to show FPS (upper left hand corner ) and confirm 30 (try 45 as well ) - I like a non stutter result out the side window

ODT - Oculus Link    Low, 2912,Disabled,0,300,0,Enabled 

 

Make sure you test your Link cable to being greater than 1 Gbps (mine is 2.6 for a $30 cheap USB-A to USB-C )

OK thanks, did it and it's 2.6Gbps. Don't know why it's laggy as hell

 

Will try again with cable later, I am using airlink for now, works pretty well.

PDx2 in oculus app and this in ODT :

Edit : had to disable ASW, just force 45fps, because of artifacts problem, image wasn't stable

Is there a way to FORCE airlink beta in oculus app ? because it's reboot I have to do it.

And same with ODT, even in administrator I need to apply again settings.

 

Thanks for your help

I think that you should try setting the pixel overides to 0 (leave it as it is when opening) this should be the same as 1 as 0 is the default values. With res set to max in software my 3090 has no headroom to increase this without it having a noticeable impact (lagging!)

I only use oculus software . Running at 75hz @ 1.1  

In DCS PD=1.1
