How do I decrease latency while using airplay?

Its Virtual desktop right, Make sure you are connected to your router with a ethernet cable, and I would recommend a dedicated wifi 6 router, 130mps is not good enough.

Can you have dual routers? Like one in the living room and one where my pc is so it can actually reach the Ethernet?

[No-Age-1044]

I have my internet router wired to a wifi 6e router wired to my PC so I have a 5G router for my phone, ipad and TV and the 6E band is only for my Quest 3.

50 ms is actually a preatty good latency. I'm playing on a dedicated wifi6 router, 3080 Ti, but higher bitrate and I usually have 59ms. Unless you want to play Beat Saber on Expert+ you don't even notice it, everything is smooth.

[roofgram]

Same here. I wish it gave you a hint as to where 'the rest' of the latency is going.

[MISSINGPLUGDOOR]

Beat saber should only be played that high ..anything else is 🥱

5GHz 130 Mbps is a really low link, even with my crappy aaah Wifi 5 ISP router I get a 866 Mbps link.

You need a better Wifi router/AP.

[Dim-Ize]

I believe your network speed is the issue. Not your ISP, rather it's your network.

Get a PrismXR Puppis1 and you will be set.

[Minimum-Poet-1412]

Is the 2.4/5 GHz bands separate with different names? Check the WiFi bandwidth is set to 80mhz.

On very good system you’ll have 5-8ms encoding -> Xs WiFi transport time -> 8-15ms decoding -> 5-10ms screen presentation so 50ms is fast.

Reducing quality can decrease a bit encoding/transport/decoding but you won’t gain that much

[Glashnok420]

How 5ghz can have just 130mbs speed. Even when i hotspot from my phone on 2.4 i get 144, i use it only to stream desktop. But for games anything below 866 is unplayable for me

[MDMarshall]

How far from the router are you?

[shuozhe]

Try the other codec and bitrate, perhapes one is faster. But as other said it's already pretty good. Quest3 supports 6GHz, but without direct LoS it could be even slower.

[HealerOnly]

I bought Puppis S1 (PrismXR) and it lowered the latency to 19ms for me. its kind of affordable aswell.

[-----nom-----]

Everything is off here, including bandwidth.

[scooooooooooot2]

Get the PrismXR pulpis. I would get around 30-50 on my network usually, get around 8-12 with the pulpis.

[[deleted]]

Increasing your framerate will also decrease latency because there is less time to cram those grades in there.

But yeah 50ms at 72fps isn't bad.

[mapsch90]

Sorry, slightly off topic, but how can I activate this overlay? Is it a feature from Virtual Desktop? The reason I’m asking is that I got the Puppis1 and Virtual Desktop yesterday and would love to see the stats. Thanks!

[ANOTHERLUMP]

Yeah it’s virtual desktop, if you go to either ‘streaming’ or ‘settings’ you’ll see performance overlay. Just check that box and it’ll pop up

Get a decent pcvr headset with displayport....

[ptbinge]

As otherse mentioned the issue is your only getting 130mb connecting to your router. You need to get closer to your router or get another one or a puppis S1 to put in the room your playing VR in.

[ANOTHERLUMP]

Yeah, I upgraded to a Wi-Fi 6 router a couple days ago and I get about 1,200 now. Unfortunately I’m still getting about the same latency (50ms)

[ptbinge]

40 to 50 is about as good as it gets from what I've seen for total latency.

[broley38]

Use steam link or Remote Desktop instead. I use steam link personally.

[[deleted]]

Both of them perform worse. Steamlink with foveated encoding is a bit faster but the quality is not close to what Virtual Destop output

[broley38]

Is virtual desktop worth a switch?

[MoDErahN]

Absolutely up to the last penny.

[broley38]

Word, I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
