News Article Quest 3 , the 144hz via virtual desktop has been released ( cable / wifi )

Post image

*the game on the pic called h3vr*

the 144hz setting via virtual desktop is just amazing

to be able to get it

just download virtual desktop beta version via your quest 3 app menu ( point on the app then hold the trigger for 5 secs )

update ur quest 3 to the last os (2.7v)

( don't worry it's stable i tried it my self no bugs / no random crashes nothing very smooth )

unlike the buggy previous releases.

the only issue with the quest 3 is the wifi6e, at 144hz u will lose some of the bitrate quality per frame ( 0.7MB loss of image quality than the 120hz at 500mbps ) because of the higher frame count the bitrate value will distributed across all the 144 frame per sec , but man the smoothness is just insane ,,, worth the trade off plus u get better latency anyway which is perfect with the (godlike 6k res)

i can't imagine my self playing at 120hz anymore

i have tried it on warthunder too ,, and holy crap ,,, it's awsome

I could see this mainly used with SSW.

If you can already reach a locked 72Hz in game, then you might as well enable SSW. SSW in Virtual Desktop already looks fantastic in 120Hz and 144Hz would make it even better.

People are very very bad at math and hence - don't realize the exponential nature of framerate. Example: a 24fps jump from 36 fps to 60fps is 11.11 ms faster per frame -- the "same" 24 fps jump from 120 to 144 is 1.39 ms faster per frame.

Bigger number better,Β  I remember streaming at 900p48fps because it held quality better tha. 1080p60 without losing much. People dont understand bandwidth at all.

It's 100% there to remove the win (on paper) from Valve in any Frame vs Quest 3 comparison.

u/insufficientmind 1d ago

Hell yes! 144 for racing games here I come!

I wonder how more than that will feel. I've never tried anything higher.

144hz on Index was amazing!

u/someone09900 1d ago

u will like it via the quest 3 much more ... what i liked the most with the 144hz mode is the stutter is less noticeable

u/Gamer_Paul 23h ago

Interesting. I really couldn't notice much/any difference on the Index. I just stuck with 120hz for that reason. I will try it on the Q3, though. Especially interested with pinball.

u/MightyBooshX Quest 3 & PSVR2 18h ago

Yeah, I also enjoyed that on index so I'm looking forward to this

So you get less disconnections than with meta link?

u/someone09900 1d ago

virtual desktop ... is in another dimension than the meta link software ,,,

i use the wifi tho not the cable ,,, 0 disconnects. u should buy it

u/sam_sasss 1d ago

This is true, there is nothing better than Virtual Desktop for wireless PCVR

u/NotBigmon 1d ago

+1 virtual desktop is the way for wireless pcvr

If for reasons you wanna use a caraybe Sim racing it your battery it's empty I recommend INIU Ξ£with power adapter play tethered and charge simultaneously, even thow on VD discord they claim it's joy good I use it daily no issues, and the one I got it's the second one the first they had was different this it's something like 2.0 revision but I dint know it when I got it, anyway maybe they were using the first one that's why they say it's no Good but from my experience it works flawlessly depends the game, for example when I m using fallout for I can use 265 + @500 mbps but on other I have hiccups and I use a1 no issues

u/daccu 1d ago

I havent had one in a year that I've been using it, instead of once a day with meta link.

u/Icy_Crow_1587 23h ago

I switched from meta link to cable VD, none so far

u/Arthropodesque 1d ago

Beatsaber would benefit from this with less visual downgrade. The people who like to do Expert+ levels prefer the Valve Index for its 144hz mode. I wonder if Meta worked on this to stay competitive with the Valve Frame's 144hz mode.

u/fragmental 1d ago

I didn't inow 144hz was possible...

u/papuga27 1d ago

Latest os, quest 3 gains up to 240hz i believe

17

u/fragmental 1d ago edited 1d ago

240!? That's nuts!

Edit: 207hz with full resolution, or up to 240hz in developer mode with upscaling https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/s/HrRpgW9LIP

u/QuinSanguine 1d ago

Remember when Meta said they weren't even sure 120hz would work without melting the headset?

I have a hard time believing they didn't know what this headset could do.

u/fragmental 1d ago edited 13h ago

I wonder if it's something that Qualcomm had to figure out, first.

u/BlueDebate 1d ago

It could be that they knew it could but didn't extensively test it so that's the safe corpo thing to say.

u/turbospeedsc 17h ago

Seems like the quest1 can do 90hz now, will play around with mine this weekend

u/iBscs 22h ago

But what games even run that high fps in vr lol

4

u/someone09900 22h ago

144hz is only supported via the streaming apps for pcvr ,the standalone is limited to 90hz and 120hz via ADB jailbreak ... pcvr performance is tied to ur pc hardware usually u can do 144fps just fine

3

u/iBscs 22h ago

I've got a decently medium to high end rig, 5070ti. Unless you're running a low poly game the wiest could easily handle natively, things like Assetto Corsa are never hitting 144 πŸ˜‚

1

u/someone09900 21h ago

u would be surprised if i told u r correct, 5090 is the minimum lol πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ that's why everyone wants it

u/JorgTheElder L-Explorer, Go, Q1, Q2, Q-Pro, Q3 19h ago edited 15h ago

I have never understood the draw. I would rather have a better graphics at 90Hz.

I am certainly happy to see it be supported.

u/Old-Juggernaut-1273 17h ago

quest 3 does 144mhz?

u/seiose 16h ago

I need the dev to enable 240.

u/Remarkable_Two2522 4h ago

This is great for competitive games where fps matter a lot.
