I want to dive a little deeper into the kind of performance you can expect with an RTX 3080 GPU when used in conjunction with a Pimax Crystal. In this video, I take a look a Project Cars 2, which honestly looked stunning in this headset. But can it maintain 90fps?

![Elite Dangerous and Quest 2 Air Link settings guide! // Oculus performance overlay // RTX 3080
In this video, I go through some of the basics of optimising Quest 2 Air Link and Elite Dangerous settings to maximise performance/image quality. I run through a few of my own preferences and explain how they can also apply to your system, while also showing how to use the Oculus performance overlay to monitor frame rates.
This is the first in a planned series of videos, and in this one I focus on the basic attributes.
[0:00] Introduction
[0:32] Oculus desktop app settings
[2:00] Oculus Debug Tool and activating the performance overlay
[3:51] Using training simulations to optimise performance
[5:01] Station performance optimisations
[5:59] Using in-game supersampling and HMD image quality settings is a balancing act!
[7:55] Leaning on ASW in demanding areas
[9:32] Native frame rates
[11:08] Planet surfaces and SRVs
[13:44] Adjust Air Link SS, in-game SS, and in-game HMD image quality to get the results that best suit your PC specs.

![Becoming GUYBRUSH THRIFTWEED in VR! // Pirates VR Jolly Roger First Impressions
In this video, I take a quick first look at the upcoming PC VR game, Pirates VR Jolly Roger on my Quest 3. It will be released on Steam on January 14th. This is not a review, just my first impressions as I wander through the first 40-minutes or so. I suspect I need to tweak settings a little more to optimise performance and make the game look slightly better on my system, but it performed generally okay-ish on the settings I used while recording.
