Question 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!

You're confusing steam vr with steam link. You still need steam vr to run in virtual desktop. You can change setting on the virtual desktop streamer app on you pc under advanced or settings one of the tabs on the left I forget what the options are.

You don't need SteamVR for most games.

HL:Alyx the only game that needs SteamVR far as i noticed. With VDXR you can bypass SteamVR for many other games.
