Been trying out my new PC with a quest 2 / link cable. Half Life Alyx appears to be the most problematic. I appear to meet the recommended specs, though I appreciate the quest 2 is more processor intensive.
It started off running quite well at 90hz, but now I'm experiencing frequent stuttering.
Ryzen 7 3700X 8 core
32gb ram
Windows 10 professional, all updates installed.
The original build didn't come with a USB3 C connector, so I added one of these: PCI-E to usb3 expansion card.
So: Things I've tried:
Restricting the frame rate to 72hz in the oculus software, as well as lowering the resolution down to its lowest option.
Running the game in 'low fidelity'.
Turning off pc screen, (not sure if having the social screen running would impact on performance?)
Updating the quest 2 to the latest system software.
Things I haven't tried:
Using a different USB port with a USB3 compliant adapter for the link cable rather than using the USB3 C port added on the expansion card.
Messing around with the oculus debug tool to any degree. I tried experimenting with this but quickly got out of my depth. Ps: is there a way to reset to default settings? Finding a screenshot of the latest builds default settings is tricky.

Has your Quest and PC updated to the latest firmware/software v23?
If yes, then resolution and refresh rate should be adjusted under devices in the Oculus PC app. Debug tool is kind of unnecessary and could complicate fine tuning.
You mention Half Life Alyx, check that you have Steam VR settings set to default as a starting point.
Quest and oculus software fully updated :-:smile:
As you say - I have been trying to stick to the tools in the PC app recently, and indeed, I have a horrible feeling I have nudged a setting in the debug tool, as it was kind of running fine, and then perhaps in my attempts to fine-tune initial minor stuttering, I may have made a mess of things? That's what happens when you randomly try out stuff on youtube I guess!
@PITTCANNA helpfully suggested setting everything to zero to make sure I have defaults - but some settings don't reset to a numerical value. How close am I to default settings with the following?
Oh and thanks for the tip re SteamVR settings - I'll try accessing apps consistently though SteamVR now and check those settings.
