Anyone still using a Quest 2 and Steam Link app:

Please consider updating your connection method. For about a year after I replaced my old HMD with a Quest 2, for ease, I used the Steam Link app on the headset to connect wirelessly to my PC. I did not have a link cable and didn’t care to buy one. I chose the added latency and display degradation for what I incorrectly perceived as convenience. I get to play maybe an hour a week, so I didn’t care much. Running wired into my pc and wireless over my WiFi to the Quest.

However I recently won a secondhand auction ($3) for a PrismXR Puppis S1 Lite; basically a router dedicated just to streaming to an HMD. Just using this method, still wirelessly connected, I am running almost double the frame rate, upped my graphics settings from turbo potato to high and STILL have a higher frame rate and the added HDR setting I had off makes institution run like a dream and look WAAAY better (as it was intended to from the start).

Don’t be me, get a link cable or look into a different connection method. If you feel like you’re sacrificing quality for convenience, take the time and try an alternative. It’s like I’m playing a new game. Even the latency of my controllers feels so much better.
