Your games and apps might look better soon.
Meta is giving developers 7 percent more GPU compute power to work with more than two years after the headset first launched.It will be a little clunky to activate at first, but a boost is a boost.Meta is giving Quest 2 developers 7 percent more GPU compute power to work with, meaning apps and games on the headset you already own might look a little bit better sometime soon.
For developers, the increased power should “improve your ability to leverage higher pixel density without substantially reducing the resolution in order to hit the target frame rate,”. Phrased a different way, “this means your apps’ visuals will look even better—without sacrificing resolution quality,” Meta says.
The change is possible thanks to the Quest using a new 525MHz GPU frequency, which is up from the previous 490MHz, and Meta’s “dynamic clocking system” will automatically up the frequency when it senses an app could use it. Unfortunately, it will be a little clunky to use, at least at first. For now, you’ll have to open an app, take off your Quest 2, and then put it back on to take advantage of the increased power.
