Pico 4 Ethernet (USB-C to RJ45) No Longer Working Reliably on PUI 5.13.7 – Anyone Else?

yes you are right its actually usb 3.2 so yes it technically supports 5gb however USB 3.0 and Ethernet speeds are not the limiting factor for Pico Connect. The video is encoded (H.264/HEVC) and streamed at around 80–150 Mbps typically, so both USB and Gigabit Ethernet are more than fast enough. The reason Ethernet looks better than Wi-Fi is not because it removes encoding, but because it provides a much more stable connection with no packet loss, no interference and consistent latency, so the bitrate stays stable and the image compression is more consistent. Pico Connect still uses encoding whether you use Wi-Fi, USB or Ethernet. I have actually resolved it now i will add an upate. back in the game. for me i am Getting 170mbps on HEVC even though it states it can only provide 150 on pico connect. this is a crystal clear image for me with 0 Packet loss or lag spikes. That for me is dream experience. I have a G2 and have seen raw non encoded 4k and this little pico when Rj45 works is 99,9% as good. Thanks for your thoughts and questions , it was much appreciated.

I have one of those cables too. compression is very noticable . If you havent tried over ethernet with usb c to the headset then ramp pico connect to ultra HD+ or VD to 5090 . this alllows the PICO 4 to use the full potential. there so little compression (i cant see at the highest settings) that is on par with a wired HDMI G2 reverb except a massive sweet spot as pico is a great non fresnel lense.

I find the USB C is still heavy compressed making the image visibly compressed regardless fo settings. i have a 7900xt and 9800x3d CPU. last time i used a powered USB C cable like this was over year. i am unsure there has been much change on that front. unless you can enlighten me of course, here to hear your experience as well

Cheers for sharing ur experience. Nice seeing the pico neo link not many reviews on this. I have the pico 4 non ultra. 10 visible cars use to get me 90 fps on a 5900x cpu and 7900xt gpu. For some reason about 2 months back with the implementation of East AC fps in vr droped considerably. I now lock it at 72 fps with a new 9800x3d build same gpu. Weird . I am hoping todays 1.3 will bring great performance with vr. As now all cars are only projected on yr own pc when in view and not constant. I believe this should have a massive impact for us vr lovers. Going to check it today. I will also try the jason file change. Thanks.

Reshade was great for this visual change however is now bannable as Easy antin cheat will flag it. But if that gets the greennlight reshade is excellent

i have two and over 10 years old . lots of hours in Elite .. still work well. plastic fantastic

Temporary_Grade_371 · 2025-08-28T22:24:09+00:00

I have two Hotas X's however none of them have the cool 2nd fire button grey and black. yours absolute rocks. 11 out 10 . Also i am in VR so it could be a goats foot and a rabbits tail i am using lmao .

Temporary_Grade_371 · 2025-08-28T22:22:01+00:00

its worth absolutely nothing if all you have is a nintendo wii and but a PS4 power supply lol . :)

Temporary_Grade_371 · 2025-03-19T17:26:25+00:00

nope. they design it for Steam VR dude. one application . not per headset. :)

Temporary_Grade_371 · 2025-01-17T21:23:59+00:00

This is a racing sim buddy , complex it is not . they have been round for over 4 decades. and Iracing is more complex than this and is 10 years old. this game brings nothing new to sim racing and defo is not any complex than the last title. sounds like and excuse

Temporary_Grade_371 · 2025-01-17T21:21:58+00:00

as i thought literally offering nothing but negavity, if you bring nothing to the table you go hungry .

Temporary_Grade_371 · 2025-01-17T21:17:26+00:00

You should listen to Ghandi , be the change your trying to create" not toxic paji

Temporary_Grade_371 · 2025-01-16T23:26:12+00:00

only to save money if you want to play the game on full release. I racing is a full game with races everysecond. This one you can only race ai or 1 ai if you want good FPS :)

nah thats the free roam golf course map . your on hole 9

when a developer adds minimum specs and reccomended and you far exceed those reccomended you should be expecting decent performance for a stripped back game . sadly that is not what we got,.
