Meta Quest Link latency
Hi, I am experiencing latency on my controllers via link. I'm assuming this is linked to some gpu setting being on and was wondering if anyone knows some tweaks to fix this?

Controller latency over Link is usually GPU/encode related, not the controllers themselves.
Try this:
- In the Meta PC app → Graphics, lower the refresh rate and render resolution
- Update (or roll back) GPU drivers
- Make sure you’re plugged into a USB 3.0 port directly on the motherboard
If the delay only happens in Link and not standalone, it’s almost always GPU encoding or USB bandwidth, not tracking.
I have the refresh rate at 72 Hz the lowest and it is better. Is there any gpu setting I need to turn off to get less latency on the controllers?
No. What is your Encode Bitrate in Link? If you are using a USB cable Link connection, Encode Bitrates of around 650 Mbps and higher cause increasing latency. You can use the Oculus Debug Tool to set or limit your max Encode Bitrate.
