Quest 3: No 120 Hz Option

spyro

Hi there,

just got my new Quest 3 and installed DeoVR (was automatically offered by Meta after login).

Despite having 120 Hz activated in the device settings I only can select 72, 80 and 90 Hz. There is no 120 Hz option. This also leads to the problems on 60 Hz videos.

Is this a known issue? Will there be a patch?

PS: Can DeoVR automatically select the correct framerate for each video?

24 fps: 120 Hz (or 72 Hz as fallback)
90 fps: 90 Hz
30/60/120 fps: 120 Hz

Hey spyro, this will be changed in the upcoming app release, until then, I kindly ask for your patience!

spyro

Hi, thank you. This is great news. So not only will 120 Hz work again, but also the frequency will be automatically selected for each video? 🙂

Mateo_Drake

spyro I'm not sure about that feature though but I'll pass it on to the developer team!

I`m also still waiting for 120Hz video play on my Quest 3 ! Honestly i dont know why the topic is marked as "Solved" as the problem is NOT solved yet ...?

Mateo_Drake

Hey boboweb spyro , the reason why this was set to SOLVED was due to the fact that this is looking at the thread (issue is registered and escalated to the developer team), not the issue itself, as this will be fixed with the next version of the app as the devs are already working on it!

As for the timeframe, again, I expect it soon however, no exact ETA has been given, unfortunately. 😥

Hope this clarifies it!

spyro

Yes, that's really strange. It should set to "solved" when the update is available IHMO.

Is there any time frame for the fix? it just worked fine on Quest 2...

This still isn't working on the October 20th update 13.12.1.3

spyro

Can confirm, is still broken. No 120 Hz option.

spyro Thank you for your patience. The issue is currently being fixed.

Hi there, any updates? 🙂

spyro Hi there, any updates? 🙂

It sounds like fixing this issue requires updating the Oculus SDK, which will be part of upcoming releases. I don't have an exact ETA, so we ask for you patience for a little bit longer while the team works on it! 🙏

So, DeoVR was internally just using an outdated SDK even after the Quest 3 launch? Hmm, hope that this won't take ages, this feature is broken now for more one and a half months.

Thank you anyway, really looking forward to the fix.

And again, it really gives a wrong impression to set this issue to "solved" just because the devs know, that this problem exists. "Confirmed" or even "in-progress" would be closer to reality..

Yeah it's really lame how you can't do PCVR with 120Hz on the Quest 3 but on the Quest 2 you can, disappointed. Hope the devs add the option soon

boboweb

g4plm how you can't do PCVR with 120Hz on the Quest 3 but on the Quest 2 you can

Actually for me it works - 120hz on Quest3 and DeoVR trough VirtualDesktop . The problem is with Quest3 alone version ...

boboweb I do not have VD, is that a work around when the Quest 3 is wired? or does it work wireless too?
thanks!

boboweb

VD is wireless only . I highly recommend it . Just get the VD Quest version from Meta store but not the Steam version.

qaruk

boboweb do you notice any difference between deoVR alone (72 or 90 hz) vs deoVR + VD at 120hz? I mean, does it worth buying VD just for that?
thanks!!

boboweb

Just found a way to enable 120Hz on quest standalone version of DeoVR . QuestGamesOptimizer works fine on Quest 3 and DeoVR . You can enable 120Hz and to increase the render resolution too .

The short answer for me is Yes ! Especially if you have more powerful GPU like RTX 3060 and above .
On PC with more powerful GPU you can always get more fps and more smooth playback . If you set VD to 200mbit AV1 or 500mbit h264 encoding you cant really notice any compression artefacts as most of the VR180 vids are sub 100mbit bitrate . On VD you can choose to increase color vibrance and contrast . But the most important is that you can upscale a lot the original render resolution at Godlike or Ultra mods , and set over 200% Super Sampling in SteamVR settings . This makes the vids looks really better . The sharpness correction doesnt make your fps drops in half too . You can enable Snapdragon Game super Resolution. But the most important of all is that you can set 120Hz combined with SSW (Synchronous Spacewarp) and this really makes the 60fps vids looks noticeably smoother - feels very close to real 120fps ... And this is UNIQUE feature for VD and PC VR ... Once you get used to it thats smoothness of SSW and then back to standalone headset video play i am always got the feeling the playback is little choppy ... But i cant explain it so good - everyone have to try it for himself and to judge ! For me personally this is the best possible way so far even standalone DeoVR version tuned with QuestGamesOptimizer become close already ! As a bonus you get longer battery times when you use PC DeoVR .
