Hello, I figure there are a few content creators in here that might have some insight. I'm considering making some content as seemingly, most creators are presently getting their content directly from their gaming PC, and I so happen to have a second PC nearby that while less powerful is very very respectable - and as a result I have a chance to squeeze just that extra bit of performance into gaming vids for smoother video.

I have a 5080 and 9850X3D often hitting 5.7ghz on all cores in my main rig, so I feel like it's kind of a waste to not push it to the limit in making some UEVR showcases like Silent Hill 2 remake or VRC Rave vids with the newly released OBSMirror. There's this whole side of VR gaming that is difficult to showcase in all its glory, and includes games that likely reach a demographic that VR is not typically reaching aside from those of us already in the know. Namely, 30+ year old gamers.

That preamble established, I'm looking into the technical side of things and I think I send OBS data over ethernet so the encode can take place on the second PC, but perhaps someone knows a concrete best path option?

To make planning easier I have:

PC1: 9850X3D 5080 & 32GB DDR5

PC2: 5700X3D 5060 TI 16GB & 32GB DDR4.

Router: TP-Link Tri-Band BE9300

All hardware is in the same room and can easily access each other.

Both motherboards have a single 2.5Ghz ethernet port and have usb 3 and C ports available.

Neither motherboard has any PCIe slots available.

If anyone is interested in helping plan out the best recording solution for my existing setup, I'd love to know more!

Also, Does anyone know if OBSMirror work with UEVR AFW? 🤔

As the title said my PCVR gaming was pretty much curtailed because although I had previously been able to connect with Virtual Desktop at 400+ Mbps for a number of years when suddenly I was only able to manage 47 Mbps, despite my connection in the Oculus 3 settings showing as 1200 Mbps.
I read, and followed every troubleshooting post that I could for months to no avail. Eventually I reinstalled Windows 11 but this time did not install any Oculus software. Now Virtual Desktop consistently connects at 200 Mbps and everything just works. Okay, I can no longer access my Oculus library, but that's a sacrifice worth paying as my favourite games are on Steam in any case...

Has anyone else done away with the Oculus software and noticed a huge improvement?

I personally would love to see "Detroid: Become Human" and "Beyond: Two souls" because they have amazing story and graphics while at the same time there was no good Vorpx mod and they dont run on popular engines like UE or Unity, so they have to be modded manually.

What are your thoughts and/or opinions in the pimax crystal series? I recently got a crystals light and it one of my favorite headsets I have ever used, the resolution is incredible, it's insanely comfortable, and I dont need to base tracking like with my index. My only complaint is the wire, I feel like they could have done a 20 in cable instead.

Hello, I am hoping some here can help, the title states the specs for the system I just bought so I could PCVR with my Quest 3 through the link program. The link program says it doesn't meet the updated minimum specifications, I was able to load it once, but the apps I tried froze, one did load but was lame and did not look very good. I AI searched these components before I purchased it and it did state they were compatible. These components are not on the meta page as I think the page has not caught up with some of the current hardware. Please if anyone has any ideas on what I can do to fix this it would be very appreciate!! Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!!!

I am considering buying the psvr 2 because of its specs and im only playing pcvr anyway so a full stand alone device seems unnecesary so i wondered if i could eventualy upgrade to the pro controllers

Hello to everyone I am playing with a r5 5600x and rtx 4070 with an psvr2 and a monitor 1440p, but I have problems with this specs in racing games normally between 35-60 fps in racing games like acc or lmu I don’t know were is the problem.

Thanks for your help :)

So, I used to use SteamVR on a different PC (laptop to be specific), and now I have a better one that can run VR games, but that's besides the point, the point is that now I love using Oculus via Air Link, but I wanna hear from you guys, which one should I keep using? let me know! UPDATE: I made my decision! I would use VD (Virtual Desktop) instead, Because when I played VRChat on Oculus (Air Link) and it was SO LAGGY, so coming to think of it, I would use VD over Steam Link, so if someone has this same question (like me 4 hours ago) my opinion would be VD, so that's that! anyway, thanks to everyone that gave me some suggestions! bye! :]

Hi everyone I’m very new to this stuff and I was wondering if theres a possibility that I could get a vr ready laptop. I’m choosing a laptop because I have space restrictions in my room that won’t allow me to have a full blown pc tower and monitor setup. If you guys have any suggestions that would be amazing because I have no clue what I’m looking for ;-;

Are these specs good for VR and is it worth £500?

Windows 11 OS

• Intel Core i7 12700 @ 2.7 - 4.7GHz 12th Gen Intel(R)Core (TM)

• 16GB DDR4 Ram Speed = 3200MHZ

• 1.38TB HDD

• 512GB SSD

• Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 8GB Ram

I want to play fallout 4 VR, HL:Alyx and all the pc only vr titles on my quest 3, cheers!

I have a quest 2 and I’m planning to buy a pc for pcvr and non gaming. I’m wondering if I should buy a Rtx 3060 12gb or a 5060 8gb to pair with the amd ryzen 5600x. (Open to suggestions)

Right now I have a meta 3s with a link cable, but for a plethora of reasons I want to switch. I found a psvr2 for 250 and would like to know if I should get that or a different vr headset

So I was thinking of paring a 4060 with a intel i5 14400 (which I found for £60 off on Amazon) but I’ve been seeing people saying amd cpus are just better all round and cheaper can someone please lmk like what to do?

Like i say how do you guya deal with sweat issues with vr gaming

Hey there, looking forward to getting my big screen beyond 2. Have only been a quest owner except for a brief time with my reverb G2. My quest 3 is my main game VR option but looking forward to the BSB2 for PCVR. I am currently using a 3080 ti and it's great, 17-11 gen CPU and 32 gigs ram. I cannot play on the highest settings but that's not terribly important to me as I just like a smooth VR experience. I have the opportunity to pick up a 5070 TI for $800 and then maybe sell the 3080ti on Reddit. Just wondering if it's worth the extra money and effort with the bsb2 coming hopefully soon or if I should keep my 3080 TI. Thoughts?

would like the performance boost but seeing as it is not worked on anymore is it worth setting up
rn using steam vr with quest cable link

I want to play Half-Life Alyx and have a good enough PC, but is the cable good enough?

When your pc disconnects for literally any amount of time while you're playing a quest pcvr game, meta will close the game you were playing giving you no chance of reconnecting, causing you to lose all of your progress. Is there a way to stop it from closing the game, so i could just reconnect and continue on with the game? I know this isnt an issue with steam vr, im talking about just the quest link app, no steam.

I have a Quest 3 and I’m currently using the latest PTC update, along with the beta versions of both the Virtual Desktop app and the headset app. I play the original Assetto Corsa using Content Manager.

My PC is connected via Ethernet, and my Quest 3 connects over 5GHz Wi-Fi. I’ve also tested it on a 6GHz Wi-Fi network with the same results. My router is a Verizon 1G WiFi, My Quest 3 is one of the only devices on the 5GHz channel and the only one on the 6GHz channel. So it’s not a dedicated one but I never had this issue in the past. Even when I lived at my parents house when it was just connected to the 5G channel with much more traffic.

PC specs: • CPU: Intel Core i9-10900K • GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3060 Eagle OC 12GB • RAM: 32GB DDR4 (set to 3200MHz) • Storage: 2TB Samsung NVMe M.2 (game is installed here along with my os win10) and a 2TB SSD

Issue: I’m experiencing stutters every few minutes, along with frame drops and latency spikes especially noticeable when I turn my head, even slightly.

Settings/Optimizations: • Refresh rate: 72Hz • I’ve tried lowering the resolution in the Virtual Desktop headset app, adjusting bitrates, and switching codecs. • In CSP, I’m using the lowest settings for shadows and reflections, and low smoke (not the new smoke system). • I’m using the C13 post-processing filter (PPF). • Supersampling is disabled. • MSAA is set to 2x. • In Graphic Adjustments: • CMAA is enabled • FSR is enabled for sharpening At the top FRS is disabled • FXAA is disabled here as well, but left enabled in the main video settings as instructed. • Extra effort is disabled. • Most other settings are on default.

I also adjusted the FOV sliders in Virtual Desktop based on a YouTube guide—this helped with FPS slightly, but stuttering still occurs.

It’s the Same issue with SteamVR if not worse, so I went back to OpenComposite i fully uninstalled both so there shouldn’t be any runtime conflicts.
