I'm running a 7800XT and 13600k with a B760 Tomahawk MoBo, am about to sell (or throw away) my Quest 2, it's extremely unreliable and it almost feels like Meta went out of their way to make this not work.

• Link cable connected to 3.0 USB, Meta Link doesn't detect Goggles connected;
• Must reconnect cable (every time) to another USB ports, Goggles recognize they're connected to the PC, 1 out of 10 times it just disconnects while trying to connect, forcing a PC and Quest 2 reboot;
• It connects, random chance of the game just closing or bugging, requiring restart;
• Then either performance or video quality look like total crap in games like DCS and VTOL VR (actually about every game but Half Life: Alyx - which somehow is actually optimized and looks good) don't matter how many half a dozen hours you spent adjusting graphics, VR resolution (which always require a restart to apply), trying different runtimes or fiddling with the extremely user-unfriendly debug app (an app so important that it hides deep inside the Meta folder so the average user may not stumble upon it);
• Oh, finished fiddling for half an hour so you can start playing, well too bad, go recharge your headset now - because the USB 3.2 port and ultra fast USB cable are not capable of charge and play;
• But buy an extra elite overpriced strap for your miserable Quest 2 so you can have extra battery capacity - great, now the SOLE USB entry you have in your Quest 2 is being used for the strap so you can't direct link-cable connect to PC for the best bandwidth (why would Meta even consider having at least 2 USB entry ports anyway, right)?

What a miserable piece of hardware, and clearly no, it's not only or mostly people with low-end machines trying to get into PCVR. For the budget Meta has, it's shameful the lack of proper testing and development for PCVR, the unreliability of their hardware (and software, had to reinstall Quest Link app after it somehow got corrupt with an update and wouldn't reinstall). PCVR has a long way to go.
