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.
v72 and it still happens... Can't wait for someone to release better software than meta and absolutely blow them out of the water. PCVR is being left to die and Meta is doing nothing to fix it.
I tried the latest Nvidia drivers with their new software 'NVIDIA app,' and it's incredible—VR works perfectly again. I can set Stormlands and Star Wars Squadrons to maximum settings without lag. I've never had these performances before, it wasn't even close, I can't believe it! In the past 5 years, I've had 2 Ryzen PCs with RTX 2070 and 3080, a Quest 2, and then a Quest 3, and I was never able to get rid of the problem described in this post. To be honest, I had lost hope and hadn't tried again since April 2024. Yesterday, I tried again to see if the new Nvidia driver from the end of January, which supports DLSS 4, could help, but I know there have also been major software updates from Meta in 2024 that I hadn't tested. I don't know if it's the Meta update, the Nvidia update, or a combination of both that solved the problem. Please try updating the Nvidia driver with the new NVIDIA app and let me know if it fixes the issue for you.
