Increase Your Oculus Quest 2 Resolution - No PC Needed!

The last time I made a video on increasing resolution on the quest you guys really liked it. So I am doing it once again, here is a video on how to increase the resolution on you Oculus Quest 2. This tutorial will show you how you can increase your Quest 2 resolution both using a computer and not using one. Hopefully, this video can help you out since a bunch of you were asking me about resolution mods on the Oculus Quest 2. I hope you enjoy the video :D

AS OF VERSION 25 UPDATE AND UP ON QUEST THIS NO LONGER SEEMS TO WORK. IT SEEMS TO RESULT IN SOME WEIRD THINGS. On the earlier versions, after further testing in more games and more complex maps in beat saber I would say leave the higher resolutions for simple tasks for example watching movies or browsing the web since frame rate seems to drop in more intense games. However you can still use the lower resolutions that are still higher than your base resolution and they seem to work just fine. Find whatever works for you ♥️

[@TheRwallach]

I've been fiddling with this during the afternoon. 3072 gives unacceptable artifacts even at home screen. It becomes very noticeable when you use the controllers. 2048 gives good results and works great for any slow-paced games, but gives me some stuttering at beat saber. Which is really sad, because the game looks way better with higher resolution textures. I'm sticking to the default settings for now. It looks like it corresponds to 1536.

[@rtsstream]

2048 works pretty well in most games I have tried. Still very smooth. Even something intense like mini motor racing x..

[@TheMysticle]

Yeah this is actually what I have found as well. I'm actually going to stay on 2048 for now. Makes me wonder, are all Oculus Quests not the same? Maybe they're clocked differently 🤔

[@BuffaloEskate]

@@TheRwallach can you go between 1536 and 2048 or no? And you would say 2048 for movies and that but not bigger games then?

[@meejmuas8686]

I recently found Pokemon VR for the quest. But the graphics were hard to bear. This changed my life, now Pokedex is clear with everything else at higher resolution. You earned my sub, here you go

[@notanicename]

For anyone who wants a bit of info on this... here is a short essay of basically what is happening. The quest 2 has a resolution of 1920p on each eye. This value that you are imputing essentially runs the software at 3072p, which is more than 4K, and then is pushed through the lower resolution screen, which doing so improves the perceived resolution, like how running pc games at 4k on a 1080p monitor looks better than running it at the native 1080p. This will come with a considerable performance penalty since running beat saber at greater than 4K is harder than running it at 1920p. What about the dangers? Well, there aren’t really any if all this code does is change the render resolution of the headset, although since it is, expect higher battery consumption and more heat coming from the XR2 SOC as a trade off. If your into programming your quest and trying it out, go ahead, although I’d say if it ain’t broke, don’t fiddle with it.

[@burritoboy1012]

Is there any chance that this will void the quest warranty though? I don’t want to do this then get my quest bricked. Sure, he said it probably won’t but I don’t want to risk it if there is a chance that my account is banned by Facebook

[@raidzen0]

Can I put it at 2048 and not get higher battery consumption and possibly oculus breaking

[@SuperDevenMadness]

When you do this method, will you have to run the commands every time you turn your quest on?

[@TheMysticle]

Yes, unfortunately until oculus makes it official we have to repeat it every time. That's why the phone method is so handy :)

[@vargabalint221]

Thanks for the cool video! Is this side quest setting working with Virtual Dekstop too? Cause I tried the same and I can’t see the difference. I just bought the Quest 2 to use with PCVR and a I’m a disappointed. I tried Half Life with Virtual Desktop and I barely can see the difference between ultra and medium. Although the nearly objects looks cool, quality -altogether it’s blurry, not sharp the whole. I expected more from the headsets amazing resolution /pixel feature together with a high end gaming PC.

So I reboot (to ensure all defaults) and changed ONLY the texture Size in sidequest app (Not using custom ADB commands) I played Beat Saber for about 2 rounds at 3072 and had no visible problems.

Yeah nice visuals but the drop in performances is unacceptable. This is because Oculus still has to release an update which will allow to run top resolution without frames dropping. I stay at default and I wait for the update. I guess a couple of weeks maximum (according to some youtubers).

October 2021 update: The smartphone method still kind of works, but you need to set up a developer account to enable USB Debugging in Oculus Quest 2 first (look for it in the Oculus website) and then enable USB Debugging via the smartphone app. Only then will bugjaeger be able to connect to the Quest 2. Sadly, changing my resolution to 2560x2560 this way bugged the display: I could only see the top upper left quadrant of the screen (but the textures were much crisper). Setting it to 128x128 now seems to completely break the display. And alas, after restarting the headset resolutions come back to default anyway.

[@jakepalgrave1446]

Well it really looks great but it also makes noticeable lags and black bars, is there a way to optimize oculus so it will work finely on this resolution? Do I have to use my computers power or something?

[@the_baker984]

I have a Mac book but does the wire connection for the quest 2 come with or will I have to buy one?

[@ZalkinVr]

Wait. The Quest 2's display resolution is supposedly 1920p, so how can it go higher? Is it just the supersampling causing a cleaner image or is the actual resolution of the panel higher than what was advertised? I am not sure as to whether or not I should try it yet.

[@FunRegarderFilms]

Probably they looked the resolution to 1920p because it's the resolution that keeps everything running smoothly. At 3072p, the "hub" is sure very clean and running à 90hz, but it will probably be laggy in some games.

[@MrAxelStone]

Just did this...very nice improvement to the home screen! Tried in Bigscreen at 3072 and had issues...half the screen was weird and wire framed graphics. Robo recall started the same way but then went fullscreen without issue. Premium Bowling crashed. Beat Saber played fine although I think I noticed the tiniest bit jitters or something.Skybox plays fine but doesn't look like it makes a difference to video quality.

[@Der_Joghurt_Ohne_Ecke]

would not recommend to set it Higher then Normal because it needs alot more Power to run Games Smooth. Also your Battery life will go down faster.

[@PingBot]

Nope, you have to re-run the command whenever you restart your q2

Why am I seeing no resolution improvements at all on my ocular quest 2 after updating the software to v49. I have also run SideQuest on my PC and connected via the bespoken cable and tried to improve the resolution etc, but again to no avail. I do know the connection is successful as I have been able to remove the need for a guardian. Yes, I have cleaned the lens and all the rest of the requirements etc etc. Can you help me, Please?

[@Johncaig7279]

I have set up SideQuest on my PC after running the developer app, and connected it with the correct cable to my oculus quest 2. I have allowed the data connection on the headset and clicked the on off button after I have made changes on the SideQuest. The connection has been made between the two as shown by the green tab at the top of the page. Primarily I wish to increase resolution. On the headset nothing is shown under ‘unknown sources’ which may account for the resolution not being changed. Any ideas please?

Awesome video man! Thanks for such!!

What if i have an iphone ?

[@epicvillain8308]

Do we have to run this command every single time we put the headset on? Or can we run this once from the PC?

[@chatchat9242]

Can this improve resolution of KZbin videos quality? I tried some KZbin 360 videos in 8k or 12k quality, look perfect when I watch in my iPad, but the resolution look so bad when I try in oculus quest 2. Thanks!

[@sekazi]

I tried it and I only get around 55-60 FPS on home. Playing a game impossible to play.

[@cfitzhark1140]

Do it on the less fancy, high end games.

[@sekazi]

@@cfitzhark1140 I did it with Beat Saber. It was impossible to play.

[@cfitzhark1140]

@@sekazi So bad vid? Maybe only put it a bit higher?

[@cfitzhark1140]

@@sekazi Did you put it loads higher or a bit?

[@sekazi]

@@cfitzhark1140 I have been using the OSD. I would be concerned to even put it higher. Beat Saber every once in awhile dips below 90 FPS even at the stock resolution. Other games dip more often.

Help I have a problem when I do this now it doesn’t work, it changes the height in game to big and in home screen i can only see out of left eye.

[@gil80]

so if I use sideQuest to change the texture size, the setting will stick as long as I don't switch off completely the headset? or will it revert to default when it goes to sleep? I wasn't sure what you said there.

[@birish21]

Only on restart

[@kevinroyster6014]

I am brand new to VR and got a quest 2 for Christmas. Found some far away things blurry. I watched this video and tried to use the app to change the resolution. But when I connect my phone to the oculus when the app is open it doesn’t recognize my oculus. I don’t get the prompt to allow access. Any idea why?

[@maddoxdaehling5246]

All this stuff makes me wonder: What resolution is life? Infinite?

[@RichTheNoun]

I guess that the individual "pixels" of life would be atoms.

[@jimbennett1995]

2020 rate

[@LeAlexo]

@@RichTheNoun atoms divide into even smaller particles, which then also divide into smaller particle.. and we don't know when it stops. Life doesn't have "a resolution"

[@RichTheNoun]

@@LeAlexo yeah but you have to stop somewhere. I considered molecules before atoms, but considering some things are just single atoms that's what I'm going with.

[@LeAlexo]

@@RichTheNoun Why do you have to stop somewhere? You can't go "sub pixel" a pixel is the smallest metric of a single source color on a display. When you zoom on a pixel, you don't discover it was actually made of more pixels. If I can zoom in on an atom and visually see that it divides into more elements, how could it be considered as the metric to calculate the resolution? Stopping at atoms feels very arbitrary to me

Hi, it's Sept 9th 11:02 PM PST, I used Side Quest and the Default Texture Size (instead of the ABS Command) to chnage the Quest 2 resolution to 3072 and It works great!!!!!
