idk how this is possible.. but i have 2 M/S less frametime in steam link, then in the oculus link software! HOW did you do this steam? this is awesome!

Because it's skipping a "layer".

You're going SteamVR -> (Steam Link ->) HMD, rather than SteamVR -> Oculus -> (Air link ->) HMD.

Isn't it funny when people are surprised by such simple things? xD

Amazing ! Thanks valve!

Everyone else: Buys up a large chunk of the market and makes every single title exclusive to their system.
Valve/Steam: Makes sure you can play their games on all systems.

You could already wirelessly connect your quest to your PC and play on steam vr. What's this for?

This one integrates directly with steam.

It's also free unlike Virtual Desktop.
And will also most likely get more updates than AirLink

We need that on Pico 4, please🙏

Alternative, it's nice to have multiple options if one doesn't work well. I usually flip between AirLink and Virtual Desktop as they can randomly stop working well for me.

A good alternative to air link

I knew that much, but i didn't know that would be the cause of reducing frametimes by 2 whole numbers, in the exact same scenario in the exact same game.

Thx for confirming that is the reason tho!

p.s.
this litteraly makes me able to play certain games in 120hz which is crazy!

Another question then:
Why is it, that in virtual desktop, i also get 2 m/s less in frametimes, while virtual desktop is also a layer, bringing it back, to the same amount of layers as you mentioned, when using the link application.

hmm?

Note: the resolution is the exact same, all across the board with these tests.

Because i think there is just something, that is different in the software that oculus link uses, compared to virtual desktop/steamlink, that causes my performance to be so much better in the latter 2.

Awesome! I already can see the connection between this and the Deckard headset. Can't wait to it be announced

This is no different than what I was doing previously right? It's been a bit since I used my Quest, but I could wirelessly stream before.

It is quite different, because previously you had to use steamvr and oculus app together, but now it is enough of steamvr to play pcvr. Which means you should have better perfomance now

little update: as per my suspicion i was correct, and it has nothing to do with layers, but according to ggodin, the virtual desktop developer, it has to do with gpu parallelization.
