Күн бұрынStop Using Your Link Cable Wrong... (Oculus Quest 2)
In Todays video I am exposing how various Oculus Quest & Quest 2 accessories are deceptive in their reviews on Amazon. I also showcase some very important tips for new Link Cable users to help get the most out of your cable by increasing resolution, refresh rate, bitrate, and how to disable the USB power settings that are blocking maximum power.

My channel is about VR Content (obviously lol) I've covered many topics on this channel in the past such as PC Building, PC Gaming Knowledge, Gaming News. That can be CPM rates, Industry knowledge, Business knowledge, how to edit, how to build a gaming PC, budget or not. But VR is cooler so I'm probably gonna keep doing that.
I'm like the monkey you send into space for tests. I just come back with the results and give them to you for FREE.

It's literally just a USB cable. As long as it supports data+power transfer with support for USB 3.0 it's fine. Honestly shouldn't be more expensive than an HDMI cable cuz it's doing the same job

Will look into the Kiwi cable. I've noticed that they seem to have a good rep across the board. :)

I am much more satisfied with my purchase now, and am sure this will enhance my VR experience much more than just the link cable.

for realz. they way they portray the cable as if its proprietary. Its just a usb c cable. I have plenty lying around. Including one thats 15 feet long. I'll be using that for now but will likely be purchasing a Kiwi. I've been eyeing their products on Amazon and am fond of their grip covers and straps. Seems they are becoming a trusted brand. That said Im very intrigued by the KKCOBVR Q2 Adjustable Head Strap. It has replaceable 18650 batteries. I like this feature because one can keep charged batteries on standby when the installed pair run out making extended sessions more obtainable. And accepting replaceable batteries will insure in theory long use of a product vs a proprietary battery that could decrease its charge over time.

The only thing that nobody seems to take into account when talking about the headstrap is laying down and watching a video is one of the greatest things and the stock headstrap is so good for this. All the replacement ones have a huge-ass adjustment knob on the back which would massively dig into the back of your head while laying down. Trust me, once you've experienced laying back and watching a video. Sitting up will never be as appealing. lol

So I put on the headset for the Oculus environment to be really wavy. The solution is really simple though. Just unplug the link cable and restart the headset.

What is USB Selective Suspend? ... “The USB selective suspend feature allows the hub driver to suspend an individual port without affecting the operation of the other ports on the hub. Selective suspension of USB devices is especially useful in portable computers, since it helps conserve battery power. It has 0 effect on an active USB port and how it works. It literally just shuts down other ports that aren't in use. Otherwise, good informative video.

Edit* Tried adjusting what was shown in this video by upping the default encoding bit rate and setting the the curvature to low, but I ran into what I can only describe as audio tearing.. so I reset the debug back to its defaults and set to 90hz at mid 1.1 render scaling in app and called it a day. Maybe I did something wrong, but performance feels very acceptable now. Setup: rtx3070, R7 3800x, 16gb. Summary, can't wait until high quality zero lag wireless VR becomes a norm lol

Pixels per display pixel override is super sampling, which is totally different than what your graphics slider does in the main Oculus app. The graphics slider allows you to use a lower resolution than your LCD panels use. All the way to the right is using the full resolution, and to the left is lower than that. Even 3090's have trouble with full resolution, I find it best to let the app set this, or only bump it up a couple notches, for best performance. Then set the pixels per display pixel override to 1.2 or 1.3 at the most, to sharpen up your image. The Encode Resolution Width is the same thing as your graphics slider in the main app, and doesn't do anything now that we have the graphics slider. Leave this at 0. You got the other two settings right.

It is generally agreed upon within the IT sector, that updating Drivers for the sake of updating, is almost never the right way to go. If your system is working the way it should, do not update drivers. The only drivers you should be updating "regularly" is graphics/GPU ones. Other then that, you should only update them when you have a noticeable issue that an update is known to fix/alleviate. I loved the video, great tips. But you should not tell people to just update drivers willy nilly. If your system is working, don't just go through device manager updating things, you have a chance of actually making things worse, and a close to nil chance of making things better.

Alright I know I’m a LITTLE late to the video but man I had no clue I could change the refresh rate in the oculus app. That solved all the problems I had been having with choppy games. Thanks a bunch!

Do you recommend using the link cable over something like virtual desktop? Also have you used any mods to improve FOV on the quest? I have a reverb G2 right now... The picture is really good, but i find it a bit wobbly and hard to get into focus.. plus the FOV doesn't seem that terrific.

In my experience, the link cable is much more reliable than connecting wirelessly. It really depends on how fast your wifi is

Might want to warn folks some of these tips are outdated. A lot of issues with Airlink are due to people tweaking their settings in the diagnostic tool. Furthermore many of the tweaks previously needed in the diag tool are now properly managed in settings. Specifically the bitrate setting should no longer be manually manipulated as that has been shown to cause issues with Airlink. Set it to zero. Similarly use settings to tweak resolution.

Was wondering why my AirLink was fucked up after my headset died after a link cable session and wanted to charge while playing, then after an hour of trying to fix it, this video popped in my head and i just had a feeling the settings was the problem. THANK YOU.

Feel like what usually gets overlooked in comments on the official Link cable is how lightweight it is. Still doesn't make up for its ridiculous price, but it -is- worth mentioning since the difference between it and a copper cable is quite noticeable.

Exactly. I freaking love that cable. But it’s too expensive for most people. And it doesn’t charge my quest enough to play more than a few hours when using link anymore. I don’t know what changed but now you have to have an active cable with power injection.

My biggest concern with my cables are that when they're plugged in to the actual power supply of my house, the device doesn't seem to actually be staying at a stable battery level or charging. I was hoping that as long as it was plugged in, I be able to actually use it without it shutting down in an hour or two. Kind of disappointed...
@petey8155 2 жыл бұрын
If you happen to have an nvidia card with the virtual link port (20 series), try giving that a shot. In my case it was able to put out enough current to at least maintain the battery level

The way to make sure you get steady regulated power to your equipment is to use a back up power supply. It takes the wall current and voltage, and makes sure your system has a steady buffered (safe) power stream. It also makes sure that in the event of a power outage or glitch, you equipment is not damaged.
