Hey all, I recently bought a Quest 2 to use primarily with PCVR over wired link. It's been having this issue the entire time I've had it. I've been seeing dropped frames and visible stutters. The GPU is NOT dropping frames though. Application frames dropped and compositor frames dropped in ODT both do NOT increment when it stutters. The dropped frames counter in Link Details does correspond to the visible stutter. This happens consistently all the time, regardless of game, utilization, or even just sitting idle.
Video of the issue:
I've tried everything. The issue persists with a fresh Windows install. Changing resolution/refresh rate/bitrate have zero effect, from all minimum to all maximum. I even tried a 6800xt with the exact same results. All software, drivers and BIOS are fully updated.
I posted about this on Reddit, and it seems that others are having the same issue, and reporting that it started with the v46 update.
Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
GPU: RTX 2070 Super
MB: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F
RAM: 32GB (4x8) 3200
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB
Windows 10
Link Cable: Kiwi Design 16ft cable
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This issue is really bugging me.
I have exactly same issue and it's shocking that it exists for so long and literally in the same state. My experience to fix this stuttering and frame drops was like a 1 week fight on the newly purchased PC with i9+rtx4070+Quest2 Link with original Fiber cable.
I should admit that absolutely any not-VR game running perfect on this machine, but VR experiencing frame drops and stutters no matte what I tried.
I used to apply any available possible fixes for Win10 and Win11 including set processes priorities, set various NVIDIA settings, disabling overlays, disabling different options in BIOS, disabling memory Isolation, enable debug window, tried various driver versions.
So my verdict that Quest Link at this point UNSUABLE for those who aim to have great experience with steady frame rates and without stuttering.
For users who kind of fine to have random frame drops, random headroom decrease and time to time stutters things may works. This is extremely disappointing as other customers stated that problems started with v46+ and as I joined later hadn't chance to experience how good it was before. Only what I understood that this problem only gets worse over time.
There is no sense adding different fancy features, avatars and new UI designs as until base functionality having such problems which alerted and explained so many times by many customers and stay in complete ignore or any reasonable feedback from engineering.
I am checking in to report the same issue. Dropped frames going from 90hz down to about 87hz every few seconds, especially when in lateral movement. Happens on air link and official link cable. I am running Windows 11, a 4090, 13700k. Seems like a bug in Oculus software.
I've been having this issue since my day one (december 2020) and now it seems to have worsened. Is there any chance this issue doesn't show on Quest 3? This is really annoying and disappointing 😞
Fresh installation of windows 11, quest 2 is factory reset, my GPU is a 3080, official usb cable, i have the same dropped frames, 90 to 87 every few seconds. PCVR with a quest 2 has always been a mess, why should i buy a quest 3 ?
