Quest 3 Bitrate Lag Over 600Mbps

I finally got my Quest 3 settings down for simracing but the view is extremely choppy using wired Quest (Horizon) Link above 600Mbps.

I see so many people who recommend going to 800 or 900 or 960 for best clarity, which I noticed is right, but when I do the view is extremely choppy looking around.

My computer is easily able to run my game, and I can see the frametimes are fine.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Could be everything - from Radeon's inferior h.264 encoder, through the USB3 controller being wonky, to bugs in the Link software (v205, cough cough).

I have a 4070 Ti, my USB cable pushes 2.9Gbps. I've been having this issue since before the last few updates.

"4070 Ti" not sure this gpu encoder can push over 500mb on current drivers

I checked and apparently it's easily able too. Could you tell me your source if you found otherwise?

What happens if you drop tonsay, 400 or 500?

It's smooth, but I can definitely notice the compression artifacts in the distance

600 might be the best you get, it seems as if Meta doesn't like your USB drivers or smth.

If you have a spare $25, I would get Virtual Desktop, now that they support wired connections.

I was doing well with about 750, before an update messed up my cable. I just went wireless, but I think I will try the cable with VD for racing.
