Dang, I didn't know that stat! Great headset for the price, still not sold on the whole facebook thing, but I am definitely interested in hearing about the performance comparison if you do it and feel like sharing!
I ve testing this as i have both LINK AND VD and after days of side by side (and then months) I found early on that the oculus quest link sucked at launch and didnt get much better last year. Unless you like being tethered again though it does help with vanilla q2 battery so as a last resort I use to use LINK...but then I bought a battery for my q2 I have never looked back.
6 / 8 hrs allows you to get a lot more done in games and software like vam which can take an age if im doing animation etc.
Virtual desktop with a dedicated quality router 5ghz (not 2.4) connection (with no competition from mobiles etc) on high a speedbroadband with a med range gaming rig performance gets me 10 ms -15 ms and around 30 fps on medium settings ( real body physics on and 10+fps off).
With link I get about 30-50 ms and about 20 fps.
Link is adequate but its not optimal imo.
On halflife 2 link doesnt handle the set pieces very well and you get stutter and it kills immersion. This may have been improved upon in recent months but Virtual desktop for me was the only choice for nearly seamless play. Support the creator if you can , as its very cheap for a working product. Also you can adjust your settings on the fly for intensive multi character scenes with a click of a button from VAM.
he real issue for me was battery and cable. VD and a battery pack like the elite or a frankenquest solves these issues once and for all. Add in some quality headphones and you might as well move into vr and not leave haha
PM me if you need more specific details. Hope that's of use
