OpenXR Toolkit is now incompatible with VAIL. It is known to cause severe game-breaking performance issues (it's been described as headset wobbling). We do not recommend using it with VAIL anymore until it is fixed.

Great video and I work in Tech Support, the restart thing is #1 source of issues for avrage users.
Thats said CPU and GPU and then ram is important, but suprizingly so is MotherBoard. I had a b450 and ryzen 1600x and nvidia 960 6gb...and everything was ok, but then I upgraded to a 5600x/6600xt 8gb and started to have tracking issues.
What was happening was the "schedular" on the motherboard was being overwhelemed, by PCI and USB traffice, the more powerful parts generated more PCI traffice and the system depriortised the USB traffic....having an Index, the Tracking is controlled through the USB, so the extra system proformance ended up fucking my VR experiance.
@@xler3441nuh uh
Wow😮
Another more niche tip: if anyone happens to use wallpaper engine, make sure to set your wallpaper to pause when another application is in fullscreen. For multiple monitors using wpe, it helps to maximize another low demand window like notepad to pause those ones too. Really good video btw!
as someone who used wallpaper engine a long time, my advice would be to just not use it. between the crashing, performance drops, and just general headache it gave me for years across two different PCs, its just not worth it, even as fancy as it is. ive got a 3080 in my rig, no hardware bottlenecks either, but WPE just didn't wanna play nice. I'm sure some people get lucky and end up with a setup where these issues are rare, but man is my life so much simpler now that I'm not troubleshooting issues with WPE every two months.
If you primarily game using Steam, you can add a rule to Wallpaper Engine to pause the wallpaper when GameOverlayUI is running. This will pause Wallpaper Engine whenever a steam game is running regardless of full screen or not and you don't have to worry about setting up a rule for every game you play.
Ah yes, the app that spams me every time a friend opens it on steam and get top play hours over all of their games lol
@@FAQUERETERMAX lmao yeah im the dude with over 2000 hours on it haha
@@mhyat0302 If you just want it to run for all fullscreen apps then you might as well set it to that. When _any_ fullscreen app is running.
If you want to go fancier, you can set the rule to vrmonitor (one of the SteamVR exes), so it's VR only.
Which is what I do, because I have two monitors and generically use my second as an audio visualizer that I _don't_ want to stop for most games.
Awesome video! Ive seen a loooot of performance guides, but I’ve never seen almost every performance improvement option so well laid out and explained so well. Great job!!
Sadly he forget XR ToolKit or better said OpenXR in general. More and more new titles using OpenXR instead of the old OpenVR (SteamVR) or the old Oculus Runtime. On that titles the VR Performance Toolkit didn't work, but OpenXR Toolkit. For example you need it for the MSFS 2020.
he says bs, settings maximum power and perforamcne settings u will have a super loud heated pc for no reason and very bad graphics to gain 1-2 fps
wish this video came out 5 months ago when i started with vr, it's most of what I've painfully and slowly learnt in this time, condensed in a single video. Amazing, super packed vr performance setup overview, gj!
Literally asked for this yesterday, perfect timing. Great tips, thank you been really want to play vail properly.
Best VR guide I've watched on YT. Wide variety of tips and straight to the point, unlike most of VR videos I've seen. Immediately saw better performance thanks to your video.
What a great video, even though I knew most of this, picking these tips up from like 10 different videos was a literal pain in the ass.
Finding all these tips in a single video is literally like a blessing. Job well done my dude.
This guide is exactly what I needed! Love your video format it goes straight to the point. Keep up the good work!
Changing power mode to maximum performance keeps the GPU clocked at its highest all the time, even when not loading 3D spaces. It is best to keep it on normal or "Optimal Power" if you have the option to do so.
@SWaven man got the 0.5 fan 3080 💀
Same for high performance mode in windows but for the cpu
im almost positive this isnt true? I can monitor my gpu's clock speeds in afterburner and they only go up when it's under load. I'm on highest performance mode.
@SWaven on a system that run a 3080 u dont need any of this performance tweaks.
Thats crazy because my gpu playing boneworks at 90fps only does %50-%60 even with that setting on with a 3060.
1:30 Never do the “quick install” graphics driver, select “clean install” option every time. (It should remove old registry files for you).
If you start to have crash issues, use a software tool to remove all GPU & audio drivers then do a fresh install of the latest Nvidia driver.
Also, turn off fast boot 👍🏼
clean install doesnt really do enough, most driver issues need a full reinstall using DDU
Thanks a lot!
It doesn't remove old registry files it just resets your nvidia control panel settings.
You mean fastboot in BIOS? Whats the purpose on disabling this?
also innacurate, the clean is never truly clean, DDU in safe mode
Bonus tip: You can use Alt + Enter to turn fullscreen previews into windows, and then scale them smaller if you don't need a large preview on your desktop :)

This is the best video ive watched about vr performance. My congrats! It actually solved my dizziness in vr.
wow i couldnt thank you more, these tips made an entire world of difference, i was running 30 fps in beat saber and it was stuttering ALOT, but i used the settings in the video and i was astonished by the results, i was running 90 frames with it only dropping frames when it was loading the song, Thank you so much AEXLAB.
I've been using VR for 5 years now, this is a great set of tips!!! Amazing
Exellent video. A small addition to monitor resolution regarding the image with the Quest 2 per eye resolution of 1920x1832 pixels. This is not the resolution which is actually being rendered by the game or used to be displayed on PC. The render resolution is up to 1.5x times higher depending on your VR settings because due to barrel distortion being used.
Maybe i missed this in the video, but the actual render resolution and STEAM VR supersampling option is missing here and those have the biggest impact on performance. So first of all make sure that STEAM VR resolution is set to 100% to match the render resolution being set by the VR software. Then go to your VR resolution setting, e.g. for Quest 2 you can set this either in the device graphics settings from 0.6x to 1.3x or in Virtual Desktop you can select from five different quality settings.
Start with a refresh rate of 72Hz (you can even try 60Hz using Virtual Desktop) and set the quality to the lowest possible first. Monitor your performance using either Virtual Desktop overlay or fpsVR for STEAM VR. Make sure you have all additional supersampling settings above 1.0x disabled in your game. You will see the maximum performance possible on your PC with those settings and give you an idea how and where to optimize. You can try to set the resolution to maximum just to see how much your PC tanks and is useful to suggest your possible optimal setting. Then start increasing the resolution up to a visual quality you are happy with. If your PC can't hold a stable framerate at that point start using additional supersampling tools like FSR or DLSS, preferably in the game first (e.g. No Man's Sky in-game DLSS).
I would suggest to go for "Balanced" on DLSS first. Even if you game runs good with DLSS switched off you can try to increase the VR resolution and then apply DLSS (or FSR), which can give you a sharper image with the same performance. In No Man's Sky for instance the high Virtual Desktop setting (2496x2592) using DLSS Balanced looks sharper then medium (2016x2112) without DLSS (using the in-game anti-aliasing) or even DLAA switched on. I also would recommend to set the sharpness in Virtual Desktop to 72-100%.
Although most games are not that CPU heavy, there are some games, that are not optimized for CPU. Again, No Man's Sky is a good ("bad") example here. On a RYZEN 9 3900X the CPU really struggles sometimes to keep up even a low framerate of 72Hz or 60Hz, especially if you have multiplayer switched on. Using fpsVR you can monitor the CPU load, so if your system runs bad, it's not always the GPU.
Where do i find this on OC2 Link?
@@R3XALPHA If you have connected to your PC with the Quest 2 you can set the resolution and refresh rate for your headset in the Oculus software under "devices".
Ok i will try will this help my pc greatly?
I came here for this, yet the video has no info on it. Thanks for your comment.
this is too much effort, is it really worth it?
This has completely changed my VR experience. Thank you so much!
I haven't even finished this vid yet, but it's already one of the most technically helpful/entertaining vids I've ever seen on CZcams. So much for me to try!
This video felt like taking a sip of water out of a fire hydrant. My ear buffer is still playing back 10 mins later lol. But absolutely fantastic content. I'm going to try each one of these tonight. Thanks!!
Pause button my friend... pause button
This is the best most straightforward performance guide I have ever seen, you covered so many potential issues and improvements in the shortest period of time. Thanks dude! A tip for those with airlink compression artifacting (blurry bushes and choppy looking low light areas) , if you use dynamic bitrate to 200mbs, your actual bitrate will be around 80mbs, if you use fixed bitrate at 200mbs, your actual bitrate will be 180mbs, im guessing its to save battery but it will make your output look less compressed on fixed, I have not noticed any downside to forcing it as high as possible
Been a consistent VR user for a few years now and this perf video is by far the best I've ever seen. Great explanations, As a dedicated VD user I am glad you touched on that alongside link and airlink bc I noticed my VD resolution setting was unticked after watching, lol, thanks again
This is, in completion with that video about air link and virtual desktop, the most useful guide and starting point of getting good PCVR performance, thank you
Thank you, this helped me a decent bit. I was already able to play VR games but in the headset it would be blurry due to having to lower everything. But due to this I was able to slightly crank up my settings to sort of negate that jagged line effect.
this was incredible gives enough details to understand as well as enough options for other vr users thx a lot!!!
After following the tutorial, my oculus now runs at 3/4ths the fps with half the resolution and now stutters and stops like never before, all while burning up my pc even more.
Thanks Alex, very cool 👍
Yeah, some of the tips here I actually disagree with. I would only follow the following tips:
update and restart, disable hardware acceleration on background applications, disable background applications entirely, select the game window, and lowering in-game graphic settings. I wouldn't touch anything else. Though, looking through the comments I would also recommend pressing Alt + Enter to turn the fullscreen preview to windowed mode. Also, if you have Wallpaper Engine, pause it before playing any VR.
The rest that I've left out I am pretty sure actually makes performance even worse.
Best VR Performance Guide i found so far. Thank you.
finally, i’ve needed this for years.
Oculus Tip: turn on the console in oculus debug tool by going to service on the top and click “toggle console window visibility”
Simply Beautiful. You filled in several gaps in my knowledge and understanding. Thank you
Ay, this vid has actually taught me a lot about how the pc could really be pushed further for more frames and not just for vr gaming only, Thank you.
This helped me play vail from laggy to very much playable. Amazing. Also this helped me with other games too much love. Will be sharing this video to others with similar problems
I appreciate you guys adding FSR ❤
in the oculus debug tool, you can set the fov tangent multiplier to .8; .8 to cut off the region of the screen you cannot see. by default about 20% of your width and height is rendered outside your physical field of view, especially with the glasses spacer. With you rendering 80% of each direction, you render only 64% of the original pixels with no change to what you see.
is this for quest 2?
@@MrChubbyBub okay thanksss
This is an awesome summary of all the methods to increase performance.
VR performance toolkit was a game changer for me, thanks!
Best vid on the topic. Hands down. Thank you!
THANK YOU!!! also the beards lookin pretty good panda!
A year old and still the best vids out there for optimization
The title didn't lie, this is a superb video.
you are very good at explaining the complex things to be simple
Thanks for the video! I am somewhat new to the VR and PC gaming world, so there is a lot of good info here for me.
Also about oculus mode if you want all your steam vr games to run in oculus mode just do -oculus in the launch options of whatever vrgame and it should run in oculus mode by default
how do i do this on virtual desktop, it always opens the games on steamvr, it also doesnt let me open games in oculus app
Truly appreciated, the recommendations on this video allowed me to run vr games better on the Pico 4 with an RTX 3050 laptop
Awesome video! Super helpful! Keep up the amazing work!
KingLink!!!! fancy seeing you here... I'm signing up our team right now btw...
Nice video. Perfect explained for us that is not so good with pc 👌 thanks a lot 😁
All of this helped thank you certainly took away the major jitter
This is THE guide. Thank you dude.
Wow! This video actually delivers on its title. Thank you!
Oh my god, that's insanely helpful, thank you very much!
first video that actually helped me, thx!
Pretty damn cool! Thanks AEXLAB for this ☺️😊
Thanks for the awesome tips! This video is the best!
Holy Snap!! Dude, you just saved my life!
I thought it was my computer dying on me, but it wasn't that at all!
The Nvidia Experience and the ASW were the ones who did it for me, as well as the power mode!
Wow, this is the most informative video I've seen on vr performance and should be basic knowledge for all pc vr users. I already knew most of it, but it took me some years to gather all this information (also because it's constantly evolving).
To me, all the power setting tips etc. in the beginning didn't have much effect, but using FSR and foveated rendering brought me the best performance gains. It would be nice if all these options come standard in future games so you don't need mods to make it work.
I use the OpenXR Toolkit. Have you tried this as well? It looks similar to the performance toolkit. Do you know whether one performs better than the other?
Awesome that you guys support FSR in game, it's really what vr needs!
Best explanation earned a sub👍
My guy, I believe you dropped this: 👑
Perfect Vid
that was most complete guide about performance optimization! thx a lot
This is perfect. Thanks for this!
This'll be very useful when i eventually get the headset! Thank you!
Great guide Thank you
Great video, excited for VAIL!
Ty.....SO MUCH this helped my performance
Fantastic, I'm glad you have made an effort to explain it to VR enthusiastic players or players in general,as Meta ,Steam,AMD and Nvidia don't really explain this for VR users thank you
Incredibly informative 👍
Amazing guide! Thank you
This is fantastic. Thank you so much
It's worth mentioning that for audio latency it's worth getting it as low as possible, and the sound card can make a big difference. If you want to half the latency make sure the sample rate is double what it was, and then if you have the option you can lower the buffer size to 32 or 64 samples.

Great video man, thanks!
I like to monitor performance in SteamVR using fpsVR. It allows you to see your CPU and GPU frametimes separately, as well as RAM and VRAM utilization. So you can more easily find out what your bottleneck is.
I do too. But you can see it natively (gpu/cpu graphs) by using the advance frame time graph in Steamvr
@@TheBaldrickk me three :D i like fpsVR because it can log the frametimes and so you can bette rcompare the impact of different settings. helped me a lot to run SkyrimVR smoother.
@@Marshmallowsamariter yeah, that's an amazing feature. It's just surprising that it's not on by default
This helped so much, thank you!!
This is gold! Thank you!
Bro thank you I honestly didn't care about how bad the graphics can get especially as a kid who has been using a low end pc for years, I just wanted it to be playable and you fixed all my issues thank you so much I love you
Hey man thanks for the great video. A+++ content
Excellent video! !!
OMG this helped soo much THANK YOU!
in game properties on steam, you can run every vr game in oculus mode by going into the launch settings box and entering "-vrmode oculus"
with a space?
Thank for this!

Great video... Thanks! 👍
Helpful, thanks!
Some interesting things to keep in mind: Currently all 40 series NVidia GPU's are borked for VR if you'r using a HMD plugged directly into ur GPU (via DP or HDMI) There is a horrendous nausea inducing latency bug going on, where ur whole image is lagging behind. Disabling Overlays and MSI Afterburner seems to help but not completely removing the issue.
Is it fixed ?
@@pmarciano1717 can confirm. it is fixed.
this man right here helped me play roblox with oculus link
with below decent frames and I LOVE IT
