Should we be using the Universal Render Pipeline?

My current project is still on the legacy renderer.  Should I be using the URP for performance?

    Sorry. Not sure what the correct name is but I was referring to the best pipeline for Unity which may or may not still be called the Lightweight Render Pipeline. Is anyone using that for Quest?

    I'm currently using URP It but depends if you want to use some urp feature like shader graph. Otherwise 3d is a bit more stable at the moment.

    I can live without shader graph if I need to. Just wondering if the performance of the URP is acceptable on Quest.

    I've been using LWRP, now URP for fair while on Quest and I've been happy with the performance so far (profiling, I'm able to hit 70fps ok with the content I'm building). I currently have a separate render pipeline asset configured for Quest vs PC to tune it a little.

    I'm using URP (upgraded from OG LWRP) and getting ~400k tris through it at steady 72fps. Had to optimize quite a bit, but pretty impressive. Some of the shaders on the avatars/controllers weren't supported so you might have to upgrade those yourself.

    Thanks. I'm going branch and upgrade from legacy to URP and see how it goes.

    WOW! I'm been budgeting for ~50K and trying to limit the number of materials and textures.

    Any chance you can, in general terms, talk about what you're optimized?

    You mean Quest 1 not Quest 2, right?
