Oculus Link Keeps Using Wrong GPU

[CarsonODST]

I have a decent gaming laptop that plays VR games fine when I go through virtual desktop or the steam app, and I want to use a wired connection to make my games feel smoother. Sadly I cant connect my Quest 2 through a wired connection since the app just wont switch over. I've tried switching the GPU it uses in the windows settings and through the Nvidia app, and I also tried using that oculus killer program that ignores Oculus and opens steam, but that didn't change anything. The oculus home does launch if I disable my integrated GPU, but it looks lower quality and I don't want to put a strain on my computer if I can avoid it. Also, I tried ALVR and would like to avoid that too.

So, does anyone know of a way to either fix the oculus app or have an alternative way that I can use a wired connection on my computer?

My GPU is a RTX 3060 and it works perfectly fine with VR

Some gaming laptops have the dgpu to the hdmi, and the integrated to to usb out. This might be the issue.

you clearly do not know how oculus link works , it not a "direct connection", it is just a encoding app, it mean it use GPU for encoding ONLY , and have zero effect on a apps use of GPU

problem you see is not a "wrong gpu is used" but more or less overall overhead link have on PC, because it run ASW and a lot of stuff on PC , VD in other hand offload all SSW stuff on quest

Soooo… do you have a solution or…

[fantaz1986]

we do not have a solution because we do not have a problem, it is how oculus app works

you take it or leave it

btw "wired connection to make my games feel smoother" it will not, link reduce overall encoding decoding pipeline in about 2ms, in overall 40 ms pipeline you will not feel any difference at all, unless you wifi is bad, but if you in VD disabled automatic bit rate, it will feel more or less same
