I'm experiencing performance issues with Oculus Link after adjusting my graphics preferences.

Updated: 4 weeks ago

Oculus Link allows you to fine tune your graphics preferences via the Oculus desktop app. As a general rule, the more you crank up display options like refresh rate and render resolution, the more the overall performance of Link can be negatively impacted.

If you find that Oculus Link looks choppy (screen stuttering, frames dropping, etc) try the following:

  1. Open the Oculus app on your Computer.
  2. Click Devices on the left side of the app.
  3. Click Meta Quest and Touch.
  4. Click Graphics Preferences.
  5. Click Reset to default.
  6. Click Save and Restart.

Keep in mind, if you've previously adjusted any settings for Link with the Oculus Debug tool (including Encode Bitrate, Encode Resolution Width, Pixel Per Display), changing the graphics settings above can negatively impact your performance.

To fix this, set all numerical values you changed to '0' (zero) and then restart the Oculus Desktop app.

If you're still having trouble with Link after making the above adjustments, please contact Meta Store support.
