Before we start detailing just how to open your Oculus Quest up for 5K and 6K video playback, be sure your PC can handle Link and the Ultra-HD video load. If you’re equipped with a high-end PC, a few short steps will soon have you ogling your favorite VR pornstars in amazing detail.
If you’re new to Oculus desktop headsets, check out the VRPorn.com guide to getting started watching VR porn on your Rift, Rift S, or now, Quest+Link. Then, after you’ve marveled at the 4K imagery, take the next leap forward.
A Link to the Future
Oculus Quest users looking to tether their headset to a PC for a more powerful VR experience will need the appropriate USB 3 cable, third-party, or Oculus Link to get started. With the cable in hand, follows these simple steps to Ultra-HD heaven.
Setting up Link:
- Download the official Meta Quest Link App for either Rift or Rift S.
- Open Meta Quest Link App, find Device options then Add Headset.
- Select Oculus Quest
- Connect your Link cable to your PC’s USB 3 port and your Quest
- Put on your Quest and accept the displayed prompt to allow Link access.
- Success! Your Quest should now operate as a PC tethered headset that takes advantage of your PC’s hardware. This should allow for 5K and 6K video viewing experiences. If you’re new to PC tethered headsets following the Oculus Rift/Rift S guides will help get you started.
The Destination, Not the Journey
There’s a bit more involved in getting 5K and 6K VR visions playing back perfectly on your Quest. Download and install Microsoft’s HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) extensions to allow playback of Ultra-HD h.265 videos.
After that, unless you’re eager to dive into advanced settings, you’re ready to roll with 5K and 6K Quest action. Simply find an appetizing VRPorn.com selection and dive right in! Those equipped with a powerful enough GPU have the option of increasing Quest’s resolution and clarity using the Oculus Debug Tool (part of the Oculus Software package). Thankfully, it’s more simple than it sounds.
To get the best graphic quality on Link:
