Pcvr and VD help

[ngarcia11892]

So I was trying to get VD because I wanted to play without my link cable and go wireless, I downloaded VD tried all my settings and either the game looked like trash or I would get terrible frames no matter what I did. I have a I7 13700 and a 7900xtx. Game Latency was high at the higher settings unless I set it low and it looked terrible. Is this because I didn’t have a dedicated router? I just didn’t want to have a new router available but if this is the fix I’ll do it. And if that’s the fix my pc only has one Ethernet port, would a switch work in this situation to wire everything together. My router was still like 5 feet away from me and my pc is wired with Ethernet?

You'll need a dedicated router for VD. I use the PrismXR Puppis S1 and it works well, with only the occasional hiccup (solved by unplugging and plugging in again.) It connects to your PC via two USB ports and shares the host computer's Internet connection. It on sale on Amazon's Prime day (link below.) If you go this route, download the desktop app from the PrismXR web site and use that to set it up (their mobile app sucks.)

How much VRAM does your video card have? If it's not 16GB or more you may want to consider upgrading that too.

Here is the crayon drawing of my set up.  I'm using an older asus router RT-AC68U 2.5/5GH  with starlink as my internet provider. The 2.5 runs my tv's and laptops and the 5gh channel is strictly for my quest pro.  I have been very happy with this setup but for best gameplay you will need the router ethernet connection.  Over on Virtual Desktop Discord site the devs are topnotch in helping troubleshoot.  I'm running a quest pro , 5800x3d,64 ram with a 6950xt. And lastly they have a recommended driver list for  GPU's brands for us it 25.3.1  I have tried some of the newer releases and  have had stuttering and tracking issues with virtual desktop

I use the same topo as @Tomcat388th is using but my router is dedicated. My Starlink router goes to our house router which is an Unifi network with all kinds of stuff on it. But then i have a Cat 6e cable to a TP-Link Axe5400 Triband router. My PC is connected to the TP-link via Cat 6e and then I use only 6Ghz wifi with the others off and only my Q3 connects to this Wifi6. The router is on the wall about 5 ft away. VD works great with this setup.

My PC and Q3 also run on a separate network ip range and I hide the WiFi SSID. Considering this is multi NAT, it may not work for PVP. Getting your router as close ti the ISP device (router or switch) is best. But, Starlink is also a kind of double NAT anyway. My PC is not good enough yet for going onto servers. I am looking for a 5090 though.

This is my router:
