For anybody with the Q2 i highly reccomend not putting everything to max because it does make it look much better, but it also makes it quite choppy. I would reccomend 75hz refresh rate and 2048 textures, this is what i have mine set to and it still looks as smooth as if you have it on default
yes i agree
What about CPU/GPU level? Do you leave that on default?
@@Tubularm8 You can ramp that up too if you want. If the game is choppy all you gotta do is turn the screen off then back on for the new settings to kick in. How smooth it runs depends on the game. All these settings works best for games that were made before the Quest 2 or games that aren't optimized for it. So keep that in mind if you made changes in the Home area. If Home runs terrible it doesn't necessarily mean the game you wanna play will too.
Edit: Also increasing CPU/GPU levels will drain the battery faster than default levels.
2048...sounds good. Whats the default? 1440?
@@Tubularm8 yeah, I think he left it at default. All of the researched tutorials state that you should also boost the cpu/gpu for smooth operation. The downside is faster battery drain so a battery pack is a good idea.
Watching this in 144p be like "mhmmmm"
lol
My phone only goes to 480p

Disclaimer: When you turn your oculus off it will revert back to the original resolution, you will have to do this every time you turn it on ☺️
oof
@@Wurmfist not if you just put it to sleep.
Really 😒 no this is not nice
@@ryanmalin which still drains the battery very fast as I left it on sleep mode overnight, and it was dead by the morning.
Well that’s gay
Yooo this is crazy thanks so much!!!
no problem!
Thanks , didn't realize this can help my gaming experience !
Bruh I went from the OG rift dev kit 1 to the quest 2. My mind was already blown af
Lol that's an insane difference. I couldn't bring myself to use the OG Rift for more than my first try of a few minutes. It was just so so bad. I then got a Gear VR and finally a Quest 2. The jump from Gear VR to Quest 2 seemed amazing let alone what you did Lol.
enjoyed this!
Pretty cool. Standing at the back of the hall in pokerstars VR I can now read (clearly) the time remaining on the spin. With the defaults the numbers break up as they spin around but at the 3072 level they remain solid. I will play some tonight to see how it impacts battery life.
so did it impact battery and image per seconds ?
@@suikasuika4157 yes and yes. It's worth doing for puzzle and poker-like games where the increased resolution can improve the gameplay but for fast-paced games it's not worth the reduced FPS. There are several options between the default (half) resolution and the max (full). I have not tried them to see if there is a good middle-ground.
Remember if the lenses get fog when you're playing put in the included glasses spacer it will stop getting fogged up doesn't matter if you don't wear glasses it's a good fix
Does it ruin like your ipd like does the spacer make the screen look blurry?
@@x1ver not for me but if it does for you then you can always just take it back out
Ideally you can solve the fog without decreased fov.
@@TheFreshPeddler i identify as the red bird from angry birds and unless you can find a solution for my sizeable brows and eyelashes that i use to fly i unfortunately have to use that glasses spacer
I think this will totally make my experience better for some games will be testing.
Hi bud. In two minds if I want to update to Q 2.. seen allot of FUD online.. is the tracking the same or better as the quest 1? And graphically with what you have shown us does it make insane differences? I'm playing games like star wars walking dead dead house ect. Let me know. If I should upgrade or not...
Thanks so much!
Wow it works lol ty so much
But the graphics reset everytime you restart your quest, you didnt mention that.
i did the same on the quest 1 and with oclus link it feels like i have a valve index now
Do you have to perform the procedure every time we turn on the oculus? Or stay in that resolution indefinitely.
From connecting it to laptop I've connected to my ps5 all 3 together and played gta first person racing games, love your video review subscribing
Great content made even better with the Phillies shirt
i give a sub that helped me Thanks bro
no, thank you!
THANK YOU I LIKED
Thanks! I guess I need to check out sidequest! Newbie to VR
Thank You.. Defo going to order one now for MSFS.. CV1 just doesn't cut it for text :( :) Thanks Man
true
no problem!
I'm still playing on the CV1 as well, but my Quest2 will be here on Monday. I'm looking forward to greatly improved resolution.
It's a massive improvement; you will be surprised just remember to do the side quest of for resolution and 90hz :) @@gammasmash1924
for pcvr games like msfs you'll be better off changing the resolution in the official oculus app on your pc.
did you get it?!?
after changing the settings do you close sidequest or run it in the background?
Thx so much man
please learn about strain reliefs and start using one for your quest 2 usb-c port. Get some velcro and tie the cable to the strap. Use a USB-c extension cord and keep it permanently mounted. Then you can wear out the extension cable female port instead of the female usb-c port on the quest/quest2. Strain reliefs are factory installed on high end equipment.
Every time I save a new texture setting it doesn't look any different than the default setting what am I doing wrong everything's hooked up correctly
When I do this it messes up my screen Edit: Also when I changed the refresh rate it didn't glitch out or nothing just when I change the Texture Size
Same here. I still can't fix that
Omg thanks
Thanks.
Is this the same as going to the official Oculus Program from the PC and changing the rendering resolution from x1.0 to x1.7 ?
You can change in experimental settings also. In the settings menu
Thx
They should just add a update to the Quest 2 so you can change resolutions from the settings.
The headset itself without connecting it the PC isnt powerful enough to do any of that
@@XENOOO lmao you really think the headset gets more powerful just by connecting it to a pc? All the pc does here is change the settings
One question tho. When i do that i see that in games it goes laggy, To get better perfomance i sould hook it up to pc and play via Oculus Software windows?
No that would be using your PC to render everything and your Q2 just becomes a VR display like a Rift.
This video is only talking about increasing the frame rate and texture quality on the standalone Q2.
If a game is too large you can try bumping up the CPU and GPU power on the Q2 but it will drain battery faster and will not make a massive difference, so you will need to find the right balance of quality that still gets you a high enough frame rate and acceptable battery life.
If you hook it up to your PC then this is all irrelevant and how good things look will purely depend on how good your PC setup is.
@@a-bootiful-mind6648 Yeah you need really good wifi. I'm using WiFi 6, 5ghz Asus AX-3000 router and a different brand AX-3000 pci wifi card in my desktop.
It's only an old series 3 i7 but the GPU is a 3070ti 8GB. I know you are supposed to use a land cable to your gaming PC from your wifi router but it runs mint with no lag using wifi 6 in both directions.
An Rx580 is probably a bit underpowered but should be able to run simpler stuff and at lower resolution etc. Even the 3070ti struggles and that's over 3x more tflops than an RX580 and ridiculously faster memory speed.
Hi, and how is performance with ALyx?? Stuttering, or is it fluid at 90fps? Thanks
What cable do you need to plug it into the computer? Is that required for the update or can you update the settings wirelessly because it just confused me when you mentioned wireless hook up but then said plug in the cable
ok so there are two ways to connect quest2 to pc, wirelessly and cable. i think the easier way is with a cable, but you can do it wireless with the ip wifi connection thing I showed in the video, and once that is connected (and that it shows a greenlight saying it is connected) you can make the changes just like you would if you were with a cable
Why don’t I see the Refresh Rate option? Just goes from Sidequest Folders to Pavlov Settings.
Guys, maybe someone knows, which is the best video resolution for perfect movie watching at Quest 2? Some or my movies show pixels. So I wonder in which resolution should I download movies, 1080, 4K, 1400? Thanks
Bro holt sh%$ thankyou so much this made such a big difference i actually thought I had a faulty unit because everyone was raving about it and how good it is.. meanwhile its my first vr headset and tbh I wasn't impressed even without seeing the earlier iterations, I couldn't handle the foggyness everywhere I looked thinking surely it should look 100x sharper
But thanks much appreciated and subbed!🤙
Great! I'm glad this has helped. and btw if you see it foggy just use a micro glass cleaning cloth (like the one you would use to clean glasses) and clean the lenses this should make it look clean and better
Dont wipe the fog, just lift the headset off a bit and give a quick blow up towards lenses like you would an eyelash, just a blast...not a long hot breath.
May also help from adjusting headset or silicone face cover as it can direct hot nasal air towards lenses.
Congestion of one nostril can lead to fog the other side.
That eyeglass extension should help at the cost of fov.
Finally the quest is enjoyable
Not really.
What should I set my settings to if I'm not going to be using my PC with the quest if I only hook it up to change the resolution
Question. It could be a stupid question because tech is not my forte.
Do I need to keep it connected to my pc in order to get that higher resolution, or once I change the resolution I would be free to disconnect the cable and keep the new resolution setting?
Does changing this setting make virtual desktop and steam games clearer as well?
unfortunately it doesn't work for all games
Do you think With trick in mind it makes the q2 a step up from the rift s since now it combats the iffy video compression
I mean yes, but this doesn't work with all games...
completely changed the quest 2 for me
Hey bro, nice content ...
I have a question if I may... I followed al your instructions from your video on augmenting my Meta quest 2 resolution...( I use Win10) Sidequest indicates connection and I can go to the "wrench" icon... so far all is well... When I rise my resolution to let's say 2560 Sidequest says "ok, done" but when I go to my headset I do not see any difference in resolution and the headset has the native blurryness... a bit frustrating to say the least...
Any advice?
I tried to give manual commands, even with Bugjeager ... but to no avail🙄
Does the settings get saved into the Quest 2 and not go back to default after unplugging or does it have to remain connected to a PC at all times in order to use the higher resolution? Another question is do I also have to set the setting everytime I plug it into my PC or is it just 1 click & forget?
no no, you just click it once and that's it. its set for good
@@gardian1701 Would shutdown also reset to default like reboot?
what games can i play on quest 2 without pc that runs really good
are you using a usb 3 cable with a type c convertor ? is it good can it deliver charging and linking at the same time ?
So what happens if you're getting god rays and stuff? Is this a mechanical problem with the lenses? Or is this something that can be fixed by this method?
What are god rays exactly?
THanks!
no problem man!
The quest one had a clear resolution for me because the lens is moved to the right spots but on the quest
2 they don't move to the right spots
Does the cable require to be plugged in the entire time to get the resolution ?
This has screwed up my Quest 2.
All I changed, was what you showed in the video. I changed to 2048. It put weird boxes around my vision. I switched to "default" which added black pixels in a pattern across my FoV. Then I tried 2048 again and the screen was almost entirely black. I reset the headset, because people said that the settings revert when it is turned off. Now my guardian is really buggy. While standing in the middle of it, it tells me to return to the guardian, and then it asks me to redraw it. I haven't had a single problem, since October.... I followed this video and now it is basically unplayable. I would strongly recommend NOT doing what is in this video.
happened to me, fixed it by changing 2048 and restarting the headset
@@r32juan it's that simple lmao
I did this and noticed a difference in side quest games however, the main hub or environment is displaying both copies of the environment (one per eye) on top of each other only in my left eye. It's WEIRD. Do you know how to fix this? Also when I restart it resets all the textures and is it supposed to do that. Also why TF does oculus say nothing about how they aren't using the quest 2s display to its fullest.
A lot of it is just there so developers can decide how to prioritize quality versus performance. It takes a pretty beefy system to take a 2880 x 1440 image, composite it into 2 separate video streams (1 for each eye), and also to push a framerate of 80 or 90 fps/hz for each video stream. For example if you have a scene where there is very little motion, they could probably decide to crank up the resolution and detail, and if there was a drop in fps to say 75, without a lot of motion, then you would probably not notice as much, and the possibility of motion sickness is also probably less. Now if you have an action scene lets say, where you are surrounded by enemies and you yourself are also moving a lot, well they would probably prefer to lower resolution and detail, and try to keep the framerate locked at say 80 or 90 hz, not only for fluidity of gameplay but also to prevent motion sickness. For example, if you look into how Half Life Alyx works, the game engine automatically switches between 7 different performance/resolution/detail levels based on realtime gameplay data and feedback.
what games do you recommend for Steam that works for this? I tried it for Half Life Alyx and it did not work sadly, I tried it in pavlov, but didn't do a full test with all of the others, so I don't know if it was a placebo effect or not, but it does look incredible when you sit and look at everything!!
It wouldn't work in steam games, because the PC is doing the rendering, while with standalone games, the headset is rendering. With steamvr games it only really depends on your PC hardware. If you have a really good pc, go into steamvr settings and it should say resolution or something like that, and just bump it up to the max.
is it because of the firmware updates that this is not working anymore??
My quest 2 is connected to sidequest pc but when i change the resolution and press the off button quickly twice nothing happens to the resolution....
PLEASE HELP . S.O.S
Can this affect the movie quality in cinema watching apps? Thanks
Is there a way to keep these higher settings when turned off ?
Huge problem if you could help me fix it, when I do this like only a quarter of the will show, even at 2048, and. Than I bring it back down to lowest setting and there black lines everywhere, do I need to restart oculus or just press the button once for this to work
Wow that’s strange, I would restart it and make sure ffr is set to default and research it to see if others have similar problems
@@Diamond_VR thanks man take it easy 🤙🏼
My usbc cable messes with the display in my quest 2 when playing steam vr it’s almost like it bobs up and down and clips in and out. Is this happening to anyone else or just me ?
@@dxrrk yeah a new cable should fix it.
You are all alone in this world
Bro I swear sidequest is like best thing to ever happen I mean bro the Image is so SHARPPPP
yeah I know!
Will the highest texture input decrease my FPS and refresh rate?
I’ve done this but my head set gets glitchy when I go back into quest 2 main menu like out of calibration so I gave up on it
Def gonna check this out ASAP. I need to buy a cable to connect my quest 2 to my MacBook Pro 2019. Do you know what cable I would need for that? Do I need to buy Oculus’ $89 PC link cable?
Use the charger cable to C port. If u dont have C port on comp use C and usb?
look, if you've got the money then I would buy that. Otherwise, I think the better option is to buy a long cable A to C (comes with an adapter) that is a lot cheaper and does the same thing. People have said that cheaper cables like these compared to the $89 "official" one work just as well.
here's one I recommend: amzn.to/2HuUG7K
@@Diamond_VR Thanks! I really appreciate your effort in this reply 🤩
@@sinan1337 oh yeah! Nearly forgot I could do that. Thanks 😊
use air link it’s free
Does this program work with BOBOVR Z6 or is it only working with Oculus? :)
Is this the same as changing the scale in oculus app?
How's your battery life after turning up the resolution?
My battery drains faster with these settings ramped about mid to low settings. I had them high and it dies in about an hour and 36 min. I got tired of having to fix the settings every time I turn the headset back on so now I just play on default, I've gotten use to it now.
Does this work with steam Vr games or is it only games from side quest
Is this for native quest games or PC VR? I mainly play SteamVr so will I see a difference from changing these settings and using a link cable?
no, it's just for native quest games
will this work on other vrs like mind witch is vive cosmos for some reason with my vr i have i gess its called screen door effect and just like bad quaity i gess text cant be read in games its bad really bad and it didnt use to do that to me amd now its way worse i dont know why its like this for me it did it on my desktop and i thought maybe useing it on my laptop it would go away but nope i even had to ship my pc back for repairs i just dont know how to fix these issues i been haveing also its bad even with me in steam vr home not clear and screen door effect like stuff moving like lines or something
isn't that a texture buffer? I think it increases the input lag.
diamond i have a problem with the quest 2 my left lense is black screened but everything is ok
Does it matter how slow or fast your computer is?
I purchased an MSI GS66 Stealth 10UE-256 Laptop ( i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz w/ NV3060 GPU 16GB). Why am I getting that stupid Oculus warning when I link with my Quest 2 that my computer does not meet minimum recommended requirements?
Hey man, what resolution do u recommend for more heavy games like onward mostly.
well, I don't know if it works for onward, but if it does then ur probably not going to do the max. maybe something between default and max, but i would just play around with it and see which one is the best
@@Diamond_VR alr ty.
@@RedHeavy- 2710 and gpu on 75 or 90hz whatever you're comfortable with. The batter might run out a bit quicker but it really is worth the straining from long play. If you're capable on the future i would recommend getting a battery pack as it can be quite useful in the long run. Try not the throw the quality to 3k as it may cause peformance issues
@@rayhaanamputch5290 ty!
Question I got my quest 2 and I wanted to know if text usually has like a small smear when moving your head. This is my first headset
Yes thats normal
Is anyone having issues with v25 update? Every time I run the adb commands the graphics get messed up
UPDATED VIDEO: th-cam.com/video/AAQALy08KBM/w-d-xo.html
i need help when i press any button on the settings menu in sidequest it shows an error at the bottom saying
Error: spawn D:/ ENOENT
can someone help pls
Will this negatively affect the headset in any way
When i try to connect with air link or cable it never charge 3 dots until it fails
Will the settings stay on when you turn off oculus?
Can't you just do this in Occulus desktop app in the device settings now?
is it for pcvr only? or should it help the quest itself?
no no this is for the quest itself!
will this work with DCS (Digital Combat Simulator)?
it doesnt make diference when i change pls help
THIS DESERVES MORE VIEWS
preach it lol
Yes
If I reboot the device like completely power off and power back on does the texture quality get reset to the default?
I don't think so but try it
Hi, I tried this one but I see no difference at all happening ? Also when I set it to the lowest resolution I don"t see graphics come bad... Is there a button to push to apply the settings ? Or any permission to grant ? thank you
yeah for some reason it doesnt work for everyone. Make sure you have it connected to sidequest with a greenlight saying that ur quest 2 is connected to sidequst. and make sure theres a message that appeares on the bottom of the window saying that it worked . here's un updated video:
th-cam.com/video/AAQALy08KBM/w-d-xo.html
@@Diamond_VR OK thanx mate! I will try
Does it stay when I play standalone?
Does the resolution bump apply to all apps like Netflix or just 3d rendered textures ? As netflix resolution really needs a boost as it's pants, yet if i watch something via the Skybox player it's pretty good.
been trying to figure out the same thing
@@Hayden1823_ One thing i have found is that my content played from my NAS box using Skybox player is much much sharper / clearer than netflix. So i think it's just a bad implementation of the Netflix app. I dont know why oculus doesn't just give us a built in option bump the resolution / super samling as we choose.
Hmmm, what videocard have you in this video? gtx1660?
1660 super
So then why would I not want to always keep it on the highest setting?
Im thinking that there must be some technical reason why this isn't feasible.
Thanks
major performance and battery life reduction - sure, you'll have fantastic visuals, but at much lower fps and it's gonna suck huge amounts more power
Will it affect the battery life ?
does this work with steam vr games etc
What do I do whenever the computer says no device connected even after the Oculus asking for permission on the device?
Do you have an AMD system because if so you might be out of luck for a while It does not play well with AMD right now
Is there a mod like this for the quest 1?
So I'm trying to do this to mine and its behaving... uniquely. Whenever I hit the button to change resolution it just kinda goes insane. Not sure how to describe it
@@user-hq1wi2bj5y yea but I fixed it. Download settingquest.apk and when it glitches out launch the setting quest and decrease your text size. It should put it to the desired texture size, then you can go back in and change the text size to Default
How much does this impact battery life
Can I do it with a link Cable for side Quest
