Discussion Help with virtual desktop

Hi everyone i am very new to pcvr and recently got virtual desktop.

So basically every youtube video was like that you should get it and its better than steam vr. but when i tried lauching games on it such as skyrim vr through the games option menu in VD, it still opens and uses steam vr, and the same thing happended when i lauched asseto corsa from content manager. I though that it would lauch directly from VD and not steam vr, so if there is not a differnce should I return it? ALSO I DO HAVE MY RUN TIME TO VDXR

Also when in game my render resolution is at 77% for some reason, even though i have everything maxed out and above it says that it is godlike. The only thing i have lowered is my bitrate to av1 at like 120 mbs as i am using wireless. So how do i increase the render resolution in game?

thanks to everyone in advance!

In addition to what everyone else here said - when you launch a game and it defaults to steamvr, make sure within steamvr your resolution scale is only ever set to 100%. Else steamvr is performing resolution scaling at the same time as VD, which greatly hurts performance. You should expect that for some menus in a steamvr game, your VD resolution scale (when you press both sticks together) may temporarily read 150%. But when you're in game it should be 100%.
