    500Mbps. But actual max bitrate is 288Mbps now. And even if we use high bitrate, color banding? is very noticeable.

    I want more encode resolusion width. It makes big difference.


    Did you try to set it beyond 3664 in ODT? I didn't but is it even possible?
    i7-8700, RTX 3080, 32Gb RAM, 2x1 TB NVME, Quest 2.

    I don't understand why it makes any difference.
    If you want it now, you can have it. If you don't, you're going to get it anyway. May as well join the PTC now.

    It makes a difference because v23 has prevented some users from running the Link, in v24 it has been said to supposedly fix this issue. How do you get v24 now?

    The good thing about using the v24 PTC is that it may already include proper support and detection for both Nvidia's and AMD's newest graphics cards like the RTX 30x0-series and the RX 6000 series. The current V23 of the Oculus app came out before these new graphics cards were released.

    Playing the game "Moss" with v24 PTC I see from time to time very small green dots on the screen that I didn't notice on official v23
    Another thing that I noticed is that the automatic graphic setting resolution in v23 was 4200x2200 (that imho my RTX 2060 Super could handle perfectly even in heavy games like "Saint & Sinners"), so I don't understand why in v24 is set to 3600x2000, but that's not a real problem at all...

    I can't see those things you're talking about in my Rift, maybe you're using one of those Quest device things?
    Don't they have threads for those, and that "link" thing?
