Quest 3: what is the best connection method for performance?

[nessuno0505]

I have 3 methods available:

1. USB quest link

2. wifi quest link

3. wifi with virtual desktop

Are there tests or experiences about? Thanks.

Option #1 IMHO.  Highest bandwidth and no other 3d party apps.

Ok for higher bandwidth, but you have to use oculus link app with method 1 and 2 and virtual desktop app with method 3, so there's always an additional app involved.

Option 1.

Wifi doesn't reach the same visual quality, you notice it on the little details. Perfectly usable, but just not the same.

Virtual Desktop is slowly improving but still behind cabled connection.

In my case Quest Link is better but preferably with a good GPU as the Quest Link uses  lot of VRAM.

For example I use Quest Link with my Desktop with great results but I prefer VD with my laptop as the GPU is not that advanced.

In addition wifi link (either Airlink or VD) needs a dedicated and good wifi router.

Much like wifi versus rj45, there's no way cable doesn't trump wifi, so cable link.

I've tried all of them.
I obviously started with option 1, but a friend told me Meta don't provide native Quest3 resolution on it. That SteamVR or VD could force it. SteamVR is garbage for Quest3 and I tried VD. It does provide native resolution without reescalation.
Hence...
Option 3 gives me much better visual in DCS than the others, provided good wifi connectivity (at least Wifi6, 5Ghz, 2400 Mbds) that I have. Plus freedom of wires with extended battery.
Cheers!

I have a wifi 6e router next to my simpit, so I can reliably use all of the 3 methods.

I was using virtual desktop via wifi 7 modem as access point for a bit and then went back to quest link usb... I think it's better via usb cable

Are you saying that the resolution is lower when using the cable than via WiFi??
