My last VR Headset was the the rift s, last week I purchased the quest 3 and I was truly impressed with the development of vr in the latest years.

My favorite feature is air link not having to use cables it’s god send to me, because my primary goal with the quest 3 is PCVR.

Now. started using steam link and it was a “good” experience initially with my old Asus router, then i purchased a dedicated router (asus ax55) to make the experience better. But I was having terrible lag in project wingman and the quality of the image was blurred if you look at the sides inside steam vr, tried other games like no man’s sky and it waa good, beat saber a total chaos if the eye resolution was at something over 100%.

I started thinking it was a bad decision to buy the router and my last hope was VD. And wow:

-No lag -image quality it’s amazing -stability -no micro lags -it gives you detailed information about performance

Usually I don’t post about these things but if someone it’s having some issues with steam link try VD.

And for the first time I can play for hours without feeling sick that’s weird because with the rift s with just a 20 minute session i felt sick the rest of the day

    ManhattanTime: I have a very powerful PC - well it was when I built it from the ground up three years ago. 5600X, 32Gb overclocked RAM and a RTX 3090.

    Steam Link looks better for me for some reason. I’ve tweaked the hell out of VD and get good results - around 35ms latency with peaks around 50ms, but for some reason Steam Link graphics look slightly better.

      blemishes: Like some things in pc that have no explanation haha.

      I have a good setup with a 4090 and something I’m waiting is installing my HOTAS and play MFS.

      AUT0R0CK: I just bought the same router and set it up as a dedicated access point… Steam Link sure left something to be desired, everything was playable but still stuttering a bit every minute or so (definitely not feasible for rhythm games). I’m going to take the plunge tomorrow with VD, hoping for better results.

        OtherwiseArt5810: I play highly modded and high notes per second beat saber using virtual desktop and its even better than when I’m connected via a 3.0 link cable, virtual desktop is a godsend

          crazyplayer2481: Guess you’re the odd one out, most high skill players use cable or airlink, vd or other 3rd parties streaming apps aren’t even close in term of tracking. I tried vd before, while image quality is good, tracking is unbearable in beat saber, going back to wired is the best (heck even airlink has better tracking than vd)

        blemishes: That’s my experience. Steam link left me a good initial taste but it’s not totally good.

    Appropriate-Role9361: When am I gonna stop reading VD as venereal disease?

    That said, I’ve got VD and it’s awesome. And it’s kinda painful.

    So VD is virtual desktop?

    Is that a separate app, or something along those lines?
