AMD Encoder's 100Mbps Cap
Hello everybody, as you can see from the screenshot above, AMD fixed in their last driver 23.2.2 the problem with their encoders when going over 100Mbps.
Full release notes here: AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.2.2 Release Notes | AMD
If i remember correctly, meta has hard capped the bitrate to 100 for AMD cards, so i tried to play a little with the settings after updating the drivers (i have a 6800xt) and can confirm, even if i push fixed 200Mbps from the oculus dashboard (with airlink), I'm still capped at 100Mbps.
If anyone from Meta's team is reading this, please consider updating and let us use higher bitrates.
It may be that AMD's user are a minority in the VR world, but we are still here.
Thanks

Bumping topic, would be nice to know if this issue is being worked on, according to AMD there is something for Meta\Oculus to adjust:
With the previous WHQL release 22.11.2 my AirLink went up to 200Mbps. Link cable was capped at 100Mbps.
Updated to WHQL 23.3.2 and AirLink is still up to 200Mbps and Link cable is now showing 200Mbps.
Running on Windows 10.
200 Mbps into the oculus dashboard right?
Because if you check the effective value on the windows task manager you'll see 70Mbps or 100 cap
Task Manager shows network going over 100Mbps in AirLink. Highest I've seen so far was 189Mbps. Matches what the performance overlay shows.
