Is Quest 3 THE GREATEST Wireless PCVR Headset Yet?! - Quest 3 PCVR Review (Quest 2 Compared)

[@KindOldRaven]

H264 > HEVC > AV1 from fastest to slowest in terms of latency (due to decoding latency increasing per step to the right), also in order from least efficient to most efficient in terms of quality per bitrate chosen. Basically setting a game to 120fps/hz + H264 will still be the lowest-latency option for most, but depending on your setup that will cost you some visual artifacts/quality.

[@SteveKnows]

Pinned, great info for people 🎉❤

How do I chose the codex ? I have a 3080ti and a quest 3

[@MrJirkaCZ]

​@@awoljones4908your moral codex is hipefully great. But video codec is changing in Meta app on PC when you click on the device and device setting. Or I think in Virtual desktop app if you use that.

[@legendarymark112]

​@JimmiZerowhy not 400mbps?

[@chan13153]

I set H.264+ to 400mbps on my wifi 6e router and it runs great. Latency was about 45-50ms when playing ContractorsVR on my 3080 gaming PC. I found that at 400 bitrate it looks much better than HEVC at 200 bitrate.

[@dbmiller5881]

Enjoyed the video, very informative. The thing I'm really missing from pretty much all the Quest 3 - PCVR reviews is NOT how it compares to the Quest 2, but how it compares to other VR headsets currently available for PCVR.

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

I finally got my Quest 3 five hours ago and got it fully charged, updated with all apps installed. The passthrough is unreal and to me, is worth the upgrade just for that one feature alone. The comfort of the headset is a major plus, and I might be the only person on the planet who finds the stock strap uniformly more comfortable than the Elite strap that presses a little uncomfortably on my cheeks right below my eye sockets. I tried adjusting the headset everyway possible but I might end up returning the Elite headstrap. I will continue switching back and forth before making a decision. Anyway, I love the Quest 3 controllers so much more than the Quest 2's. My only real gripe with the Quest 3 is actually the last thing I was expecting to dislike, the resolution. I noticed next to no difference between the Quest 2 and the Quest 3 in resolution. Yes, the pancake lenses are vastly superior with regard to the massive sweet spot and clarity of the lenses themselves with no horrific concentric circles from the Fresnel lenses. But I noticed that since the resolution has been slightly increased the only difference I can see is that surprisingly, the screen door effect is now more pronounced than it was in the Quest 2 headset. I rarely if ever noticed the screen door effect on the Quest 2, but I see it constantly now when I am using the Quest 3. I didn't expect any screen door effect whatsoever, so I am a bit disappointed in this. Anyone else notice the screen door like I do?

[@Xanados88]

Same here, mine arived 7 hours ago. Its soooo much better than the Quest 2 and the best part for me was that my glasses fit so perfectly inside the quest 3, so i can use it from day 1 with good quality. Still orderd perscription glasses for it :)

[@coinsagE46m3]

Damn man, that's disconcerting to hear. I am going to try my Q3 tonight (my Zenni lense inserts were finally delivered). Nearly every outlet I've seen report on this HMD says the res upgrade is very noticeable and the SDE is greatly reduced. I hope that's the way I feel after trying it for the first time. Also I got the Elite Strap too 😬

[@michaeldidikof634]

For me the biggest difference is how sharp the screen is. Run some older quest 2 games and could not believe how crystal clear everything looks. So next thing I tried big screen and KZbin in 4k and Omg. It's almost the same quality as my 4k TV.

[@stuartburns8657]

[@Dajlec]

Meta totally screwed us over with quest pro. The only benefit quest pro has is fov rendering, local dimming, independent tracking controllers and charging dock. But in reality FOV rendering is still not as good as native quest 3, much better FOV rendering on my PSVR2, local dimming is ok but bright objects on dark background will cause halo effect..controllers were crazy good...but quest pro lacks the resolution. I could never get over SD effect. I also bought it day 1..full EU price:( 2 weeks later the price dropped significantly due to poor sales. Ended up selling it for 500 bucks... Now I have Q3 and it is hands down the best headset I have ever owned. Better than my PSVR2 which had A LOT of issues (dead pixels, mismatched OLED panels, defects in lenses, dust under lens...). Coupled with a PC something like Ryzen 7800x3D and 4070 and the results are mind blowing.

[@Icequake.]

@@DajlecI’ve had a valve index for about 2 years and I’ve been thinking of selling it and picking up a quest 3 to go wireless. I have a 7800xt and a 7800X3D in my PC. How’s the wireless performance on quest 3 PCVR? Should I make the move and get it? Thoses beautiful displays and lenses are really enticing me to upgrade.

[@richardlambert1528]

Airlink with the Q3 wasn't that great last night. Booted up Virtual Desktop instead, with 120fps and Ultra graphics... holy crap its awesome!! Smooth as butter and the visuals are just amazing. So for me VD is the better option with my 3090 😊

[@SteveKnows]

VD is extra special! i love the interface and the clear options. VD wireless with Q3 was TASTY!

[@stuartburns8657]

I know it must be difficult being a Mera ambassador, but how about touching upon the disastrous launch? No new games, and only minor to modest graphical updates for titles we've long since completed and grown tired of. Then MR, which consists of the same games, but playing them through a whole in your wall. Finally MR quality itself. It's dreadful, and 3 other ppl whom I work with agree. We all don't understand why yourself and other vr influencers seems to have clearer MR. Assuming it's due to you all having film studio lvl lighting. Obviously this isn't something most ppl have, and I think it was disingenuous showing MR in it's most favourable form, without testing and acknowledging more 'normal / average' lighting conditions

My quest 3 arrived on the 10th. WOW. Everything about it is upgrade. Being ex military action titles are big for me. Gun club vr, gripping a pistol was so real and natural with the new controllers. Tracking was never an issue, and I used a 20ft pcvr cable with charging block to charge and play out of the box.

Yes a huge upgrade from the Quest 2! If you are a Quest Pro owner...for PCVR don't bother. The Pro and 3 look about identical even though the 3 has about 1 million more pixels it's not enough to make a noticeable difference if anyone is curious.

[@mrcapalot4408]

[@Thezuule1]

My main concern with the Quest 3 is being able to fully push the display. You have to run a Quest 2 at 5400x2700 to get 1:1 pixel for pixel and the Quest 3 pushes that up to like 7000x3700 which is a pretty tall order even for a 4090, which I do not have unfortunately lol.

[@Skrenja]

​@@saltmaker5353There are games that will bring a 4090 to it's knees. Try playing the RE2 mod on max settings/res.

[@melodyofheaven3353]

Not an OG VR user but I am an OG Quest user from around the beginning of the Quest, and I’ve used every mainline Quest (not the Pro) since they’ve come out, and I’ve gotta say, the Quest 3 absolutely feels like when I put on a VR headset for the first time again. The color passthrough immediately on start made me feel like a kid. I kept the headset on all the way from unboxing and setup to death of the headset right before I left for work and gave my roommate the Quest 2 I had

I am not playing enough VR anymore past Pavlov to justify the purchase of this headset with its price tag. Still it looks like a real good device. I stay with my Pico Neo 3 for the time being, my 5700 works great with it even at 90Hz and it has DP too 🙂

Sounds fair tbh. That's a setup that can make a lot of things play/work just fine. having direct DP is nice too imho

Would so notice better performance in vr going from a i7 9700 k to a i9 9900k?

[@GoneHollowMedia]

@thegarch3293 I doubt you'd notice much difference honestly. If you moved up to a 13th gen then yeah probably.

[@Wooskii1]

Has anyone done a comparison with mere mortal hardware? Like a 2080 to 3080TI system? I'm pretty sure having a RTX-4090 makes the biggest difference lol. I mean if your PC can only push like 1600x1600 pixels, the higher resolution isn't helping you nearly as much as it could be, kinda like replacing your 27in 720p monitor with a 32in 1080p while still running it at the same old 720p resolution. The pancake lenses alone might be making a bigger difference as far as visuals, or they could let you see more perceived SDE due to better clarity? Anyway, I'm still hoping that the WiFi 6E's extra bandwidth can be leveraged through future updates, for better latency.

[@XnathOW]

Thoughts on Wifi 6 vs Wifi 6E? Im updating my router and getting fiber. Its 80€ for Wifi 6 or 280€ for 6€ ITs a steep cost, but probably an investment. Thoughts?

[@norfolknwhey4787]

It’s not worth $200. Bandwidth isn’t the issue once you get up to wifi6, your hardware is. We’re a long way from needing wifi6e latency/bandwidth.

[@Ash454]

Any chance we could get a video of your pc set up for playing with the quest(2 or 3) on the pc? Would be really helpful! Unless there is a video I missed!? I have a 3070 and have to go into alot of setting and change stuff just to get it to play certain games

[@overdriver99]

slightly wider. 15% wider but you dont notice much difference haha

[@Nyersevo]

The wireless option is healthy?

Great technical review. Do you plan to test the latency again with a wifi 7 adapter connected to your PC? The snapdragon chip in the Quest 3 is supposed to have w7 support, not sure if it's enabled yet.

[@MrJwyne]

Those battery cover grips look very seamless! 🔥

[@ModerateDev]

What kind of performance overhead is there from encoding? I have a 4060 and I worry I will not have a good experience in PC VR due to the overhead from having to encode to video. I honestly wish there was just DP I don't want the headset for mobile I just want a good PCVR headset that doesn't cost 1k I was really excited to experience the new lenses and increased resolution but I saw in another video that there was so much overhead in terms of processing and memory usage that it was eating like 40% of the GPU in games like HLA

In a group that I hang out with in VR, people that got the Quest 3 from Quest 2 are very happy with it.

[@dharkbizkit]

thing is, i dont have much experience in vr. none of my friends have any hardware of that sort and living coutryside means, no big place with good vr to tryout around here. the only thing i ever used and tried, was ps5vr2, so thats the only reference i have. and even there, i was able to spot screendoor effects on bright objects (although the owner insited that its impossible and what iam seeing is refraction from the fresnel lenses.. idk), but that level of the effect, is no dealbraker for me.. its more of the reference point in terms of "this should be the minimum iam looking for" so i cant say how the quest 3 compares to the ps5vr2, but getting a vr setup myself, would mean buying a bundle, that is, in every regard, at least the ps5vr2 but for pc, but from what reviews etc sound like its eighter: its worse then ps5vr, but cheaper, or its waaaaay better, but 3x-4x as expensive@@chatie888

sorry that was deliberate as its a setting many with lower spec systems would use. but with my 4090 it was chill with 90hz and 120hz (it had more stutter at 120 for higher spec games. but 90 was smoooooooooth). the room got hot though

[@losslessthoughts]

[@youareeduc6863]

Definitely steam. Any game that you see you might like that is both on meta quest store and on steam, definitely buy the game off of steam because using a computer and the quest 3 at the same time, you get both the leverage of the strong specs of your computer and the specs of the quest 3 which will make the game look much better, perform better, and overall be funner. Unless there is a game exclusive to the meta store, focusing on pcvr would be much smarter to improve QOL

I do enjoy your videos, but the company that you’re featuring in the beginning does not respond any problems i have purchased them right away because I really liked having the straps for my hands and they are very good but they sent me two left-handed knuckle holders and they have not responded to me in 3 days

[@jason002YT]

What's the name of the game in the video with castles and skeletons? It's looks good.

[@Josh-rn1em]

Can you plug into the pc with usb a?

[@ZZYDDD]

Better than pico 4 on godmod in Virtual desktop ?

[@branimirprecep2776]

Hey can someone help me, just got the quest 3 (first headset). I can't connect my pc with ethernet cable (the freaking router is in the wall) and air link and steam link won't work. Does someone know a way around? Thx !

[@notasmuchasnotas]

Do you know when 120hz will be enabled on pc via link cable ?

[@MrTeeF]

Grate vid... but... I'm having some major issues getting full speed on my Quest 3 using wifi6 network. I'm hoping it's an issue with the firmware. On my Quest 3 the WIFI signal is hopping from 720 - 864 - 960, but my Quest 2 Is stable at 1200 Mbps. I am sitting 1 m (3 feet) from the Ruter

[@SteveKnows]

thats interesting, the hopping could be that someone is sharing your router? maybe it has automatic channel adjustment as a setting? i couldnt really say. as long as the signal isnt dropping below what you need, dont stress =]

[@MrTeeF]

I have a dedicated Access point wifi6 for my headset. Nothing else is connect and it's wired into my network. This setup gives me perfect preformence on Quest 2. Even on AirLink (and VD)

I have seen similar issues with my setup. It runs smooth though, but it annoys me.. I also seem to have less range with q3 before it degrades to unusable 😢

[@MrTeeF]

@SteveKnows Watching your footage i can see that your wifi coverage is fluxing to. But on 6e its lowest signal is 1700 mbps so won't be noticable. But this is a firmware bug essentially for AX ruters like yours and mine. On 5Ghz it's almost useless. The MAIN issue seems to stem from WiFi AC Bands (WiFi 5) vs. WiFi AX and AXe bands (WiFi 6 and 6e) There seems to be an issue with all AC bands with the stuttering and issues overall. This issue has been reported to META by Virtual Desktop Hopefully, Meta will have an update on this soon.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

I'm getting some connection issues with a cheap Amazon cable. Restarting the quest 3 seems to fix the issues. I also have tried airlink and it starts stuttering. I reset the Quest 3 and it fixed the issue. Definitely needs a software update

[@chan13153]

Yeah Facebooks link (wired and airlink) is broken right now. alot of issues with stutters and even being able to connect. VD is far superior to either if you have a good router.

[@amazin7006]

Whats the point of 120hz if youre just going to use 60

[@treavy1]

I love the quest 3 so much tha I might try sleeping in vr with it

[@solar816]

What medieval vr game was that?

[@stevengilley5107]

I would say I'm a casual PCVR usually bought a VR ready PC have no idea how to change or fix anything lol it eather works or it dont for me no tinkering lol

[@kilroy987]

I'm pretty sure the video from compression will still have artifacting that you don't get with DisplayPort. But I'll probably be getting one anyway.

[@haloharry97]

Great video, but I love to seen the ms when at 120hz.

[@jerrycaddie838]

The passthrough is soooo grainy even in the daytime. Did you find this as well????

[@Spiriax]

You need better lighting.

[@jerrycaddie838]

No better lighting then sunlight@@Spiriax

[@jerrycaddie838]

@@Spiriax No better lighting then sunlight

[@Spiriax]

@@jerrycaddie838 No, sunlight is too strong. And be careful so the sunlight don't hit the lenses. I can't say what perfect lighting is, but I've heard reports of people saying it looks grainy and then they tried it in a different environment and it looked way better. I'm sure videos about optimal passthrough conditions will be out soon.

[@thomaspvargas]

Video starts at 1:30

[@SteveKnows]

thanks man, i do have timestamps on the video for that, did they not show?

[@derekpontes2647]

gonna wait for some info about valve index 2

[@ddw6523]

Well tried playing sniper on quest 3 having trouble calculating it!! Still learning!!

[@benthecaptain7419]

Do I really need a router if I have Wifi6 not being used on my motherboard?

[@KenjiBiH]

i was thinking of giving my quest 2 to my brother since he uses oculus rift S and that's a hella problematic devices like the amount of problems it runs into sometimes is just irritating, and since i have my quest 2 and was thinking about upgrading to quest 3 i might aswell just give it to him with all my accessories XD

[@StupidBros]

The prices on the quest 3 accessories are HORRIBLE

[@SteveKnows]

Right!
