So I went out and tried to research this for you and every single place that I read about it, All of them all said that the issue is very simply that the Meta Link software is an absolute joke when it comes to trying to use that particular video card and the other AMD cards (actually most said the Meta Link software was a joke period, but I digress).
I have experienced the same exact thing to be honest with you. I've tried to use the Meta Link software and I have met nothing but frustration and headaches. I actually use an Nvidia 4070 TI super for my card.
You will have to spend a very small amount of money (I think it's like $15 in the quest store), but if you switch over to Virtual Desktop, I can almost guarantee you that you will no longer have any of the problems that you're experiencing right now. Plus, if you just give it a try and it doesn't do what I think it's going to do for you put in for a return and get your money back. Just make sure that you don't use it more than two hours.

Virtual Desktop (standalone version) only works wirelessly. The OP is using the Link cable with QuestLink and probably does not want to go wireless. The "classic version" of Virtual Desktop uses a wired connection, but only supports Rift, Vive, Valve Index and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.

Never said it didn't use wireless. I said to give it a try and see if they liked the results.
If they like the results keep the app and enjoy the PCVR. If not, return the app and get your money back.
Maybe be supportive and offer options to fix a situation rather than judgmental and point fingers because the option someone else offered gets to a solution a different way.
(also, if you REALLY want to be wired to the PC, there are work arounds to using VD with a cable)

Dude, you're the only one that's being judgemental and pointing fingers here. Take a chill pill.
