with a 3090 you can max the render resolution easily on the quest. Your problem might have been either that you also had it boosted through steam vr (Make sure its at 1.0 through steam vr and only maxed through metas software.) or your router. Do you have a dedicated router exclusively for airlink? Did you optimize the settings? Is it 5ghz? wifi6, 6e etc?

[@Red8675309666]

that totally makes sense, i remember that causing issues for me in the past.

[@doc-holliday-]

@@PhutureRed Yes you should be using a router not a wifi adapter. The router for airlink should be used EXCLUSIVELY for airlink as well. So no other devices connected to it through wifi. It should also be connected to your modems wan port via ehternet and then directly to your pc with ethernet as well. Also there are a couple tips and tricks to boosting the quality and performance through your routers settings and oculus its self. Just search up a video here on youtube.

So i have tested my setup 2 times so far. i use virtual desktop and i run the quest 3 through the prismxr bridge which is plugged directly into the pc and no internet going through that only the signal from the quest 3. so far its doing well and that includes running obs for recording. i have an older i9 9900k and a 4070ti. i did see a hickup in Ultra so i dropped it to Hi on VDesktop, that seemed to help a lot. Still tweaking my settings though to get it just right. I do miss the ease of my index and running a cable which was much simpler but the clarity of this headset is just too good. Great video

when doing the comparison, is your desktop output set to only the VR headset or is it reflecting/extending the output on your PC's monitor as well? Theoretically, using multiple outputs can severely diminish, even divide your GPU's usable "bandwidth" in non-dedicated VR headsets.

[@BenRHarsh]

Outputting the same frame, albeit cropped, to the monitor would have negligible if not imperceptible affect in performance. The visual quality difference on the quest is likely some post processing by the quest before displaying it on the tilted screen.

Really you should see more GPU usage with a cable because there is less bottleneck and more time for the GPU to run. Bottlenecks decrease your GPU usage

[@FNH8iT]

you shouldnt see more if the headset uses a display port but instead its still compressing then sending it via type C which is why i checked.

[@ViciousXUSMC]

Looks like the native steam link application was not tested? That is probably the most direct way and I would assume offers the best experience for wireless. I have owned Virtual Desktop for a long time and will try that as well just to see if it offers any benefit. Have Wifi 6E access points (two of them) and desktop running a 4090 hardwired to 10gb fiber optic so we should be ready to rock once I get the quest 3.

[@FNH8iT]

This video was put out quite a ways before steam link dropped. Steam link is a very smooth experience and feels much better than airlink. Comparing to virtual desktop though, Virtual Desktop seems to have more options for fine tuning the experience around the users hardware.

I don't even have a Thunderbolt 3 port on my PC and I get a solid 1.9Gb/s on the USB Test. . . and that's two 6ft TB3 cables jenkily coupled together and plugged into a cheap USB-C PCI-E Card. - On another note your GPU usage being high is actually good. It shows that 40% of your GPU processing power _can_ be utilized whereas before it was _only_ able to utilize 15%. Just like a CPU you want it all being utilized while staying cool.

Brand new to all this.. So all i need to do is use virtual desktop to link pc to quest 3 and this is the best way?

[@FNH8iT]

A new app called Steam Link came out after this video. It is free on your quest and seems to work better than Airlink and virtual desktop.

thank you!!@@FNH8iT

Good afternoon brother. Congratulations on your content. Brother, I need some help. My first pair of glasses are the Quest 3 that I just bought. I don't know if it's normal but I see the medium and far graphics out of focus. I've already changed all the parameters everywhere. But I perceive it from the wolves, not only in games. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x and an RTX 4090 with 32 ram, so I'm plenty. In the DCS the close graphics of the plane incredible but already the middle and far without definition

[@FNH8iT]

I really wish I could be help here but I have not had focus issues in the headset. This may be graphics setting in the game for render distance? I'm confused why it would be doing this. You mentioned plane so would the game be Flight Simulator?

[@thomasyantorno1734]

There was a bug with the Quest 2 where the PCR would not recognize the controllers I hear that the quest 3 is having the same problem

[@FNH8iT]

I play pcvr almost daily with quest 3 and so far I have not had this issue.

[@hyze2d]

is there any option for some receiver for air link? i am not able to connect trough the same wifi network unfortunately so some direct connection would be nice

[@FNH8iT]

Dlink makes a usb device for Airlink. I think meta sells it on their website

[@raymondhenderson8230]

I can’t find the oculus app on my pc, at least not for the quest 3. I can see the quest 2 one though?

[@FNH8iT]

Oculus PC app is here www.oculus.com/setup, For virtual desktop I put 25% off code in the comment section as well

[@spacecowboy306]

I bought them and they didn't work. to small and don't connect well. Especially after washing. If you take them on and off the face play to wash them every couple of week because of your sweat you will eventually brake the faceplate. it is not made to take on and off all the time and then you have to buy another. not worth it to have to brake off and on the face plate. But thanks for the video you make it looks so easy. however I still haven't gotten it to play the sound in the quest link. I set it to default in open.... but it still doesn't work. but Virtual Desktop works fine.

[@unknown-x-1777]

Yeah I had a hard time getting my link cable to connect the first time. No cables or USB ports were working and then airlink wasn't even working. Rebooted the computer and nothing still wasn't working. Turned off the quest 3 and the computer and turned both back on and it started working. Anyone try phasmophobia on quest 3 ? Picking up the tripod and cameras and they shake and it's kinda hard to open the doors.

[@scarletfoxfrostnovember3407]

Wait, so does this mean we don't need to worry about the storage on the vr and can just install the game on the pc?

[@FNH8iT]

Indeed 🍻

[@user-su4mi6ky6z]

when you activate airlink, all the pc's with the oculus app should appear right?, well my pc doesn't apppear on that list, (both the quest 3 and the pc are conected to the same wifi), whan can I do or check to fix it?

[@randomsigmagamer]

Same :c

Can i watch movies (full screen) with the Meta Quest 3 from pc?

[@kianmcgaming8146]

I tried playing roblox to run it on PC using airlink but it didn't work. Do you know how to fix this? (I'm also on meta quest 3 btw)

[@FNH8iT]

Download the Roblox player go into the settings and enable VR mode. When you air link to the desktop open up the Roblox player select a game and it should launch in VR mode

for me, it just runs at 3 fps no matter what method I use. I do not have 100 bucks to buy a cable or anything. What do I do?

[@KeyfobTyler]

I just have a 5ghz router and tried airlink, it seems not to bad most of the time, but faster moving games like beatsaber tend to get choppy sometimes then go faster to catch up. Think virtual desktop will help this a bit? or will i have to get a 6e router

[@FNH8iT]

i had that issue on a router that others were on. I ended up getting a dedicated router for just my PC and headset, when I did this I upgraded to a TP AX1800

[@finnymoses7119]

Is there a way to use the meta quest 3 for visuals only and use the surround speaker system for audio? please anyone help with this... thanks

[@FNH8iT]

If you connect to your PC with your headset, set windows audio output to your surround sound audio on your PC

[@Ljngstrm]

Hi FNH8iT. Ive run into a problem connecting my meta quest 3 and play Half Life Alyx specifically. Ive been able to play 2 other games through airlink and steamvr (KajakVR and Propanation), but I run into a crash error message when trying to run Half Life Alyx: "Error: Hmd Not Found Presence Failed (126)". My computer is all new and has better specs than recommended for both the game and for Meta Quest 3, so what could be the problem? My ASUS router is only wifi 5. Is that the problem and reason why this "hmd not found presence failed" pops up, or is it because I need to buy a cable to run a stronger game? I am just really confused why I can run some games, but not HL:Alyx...

[@FNH8iT]

Weird, one thing you could try is setting the headset as active for openXR. It's in the oculus PC app I believe under General Settings.

[@Ljngstrm]

@@FNH8iT cheers, ill give it a try

[@Morgan-Neely]

Air link is working just fine, but the PC-cable link isn't doing anything but making the connection noise. Developer mode in the phone app, and Oculus on the PC, just not being fully recognized. Forums are filled with the same problems. Guessing it has to do with having everything still set up for the 2 as well, or the USB-A to USB-C isn't good enough for the 3.

[@FNH8iT]

Yeah I thought it was odd that the cable didn't really help at all, I always played wirelessly but I remembered cable link being better than wireless on the quality side. If you have a 3.0 connection on your GPU you can try that out. I had to remove my external hard drive off of my 3.0 USB bandwidth and make my headset the only device on 3.0 usb. Also make sure you go to link and turn off airlink so it recognizes USB link

[@Morgan-Neely]

@@FNH8iT The bandwidth on the USB hub is like you said, most likely the culprit. I do have 2 - USB hubs, mostly filled. I didn't want to go there, but Q3 is obviously more juice hungry, so I'll have to try and unplug some things. Hope this helps others as well.

[@tinop414]

My 4070 in my laptop runs alyx on high with no issues for quest 3.

[@timofeysafronov4048]

Can I still play quest store games with airlink pc graphics?

[@FNH8iT]

you can play PCVR Oculus and SteamVR games only when airlinked

[@terryd80]

How does this look if using NVidia GeForce Now?, I know it's not really supposed to work in VR but just curious anyway. Please let us know if you can try it? thanks

[@shadytimes]

My mic hasn’t been working with virtual desktop.. it sounds muffled and far away.

[@FNH8iT]

might be picking up a different mic, i had my webcam mic being used in a game as it was my windows default mic. Make sure that Mic Passthrough is enabled in the Virtual Desktop settings menu, and if it already is, try toggling it off and then back on. In Windows try setting the virtual Mic for oculus as the default mic

[@chris.9595]

Hi, congratulations on such a fantastic video. Keep up the great work. I'm looking at buying Msi Geforce Rtx 3090 Suprim X 24g and was wondering if would this work on the quest link cable, for the quest 3. It only states that the Nvidia geforce rtx 3090 works, would they be the same gpu's with different company names? Thank you 👍

[@FNH8iT]

Thank you 🍻 and yes that will work beautifully with the link cable

[@chris.9595]

Thank you so much. Best of luck for the future 😉👍
