I assume you have an external PCI box with a desktop card in it?

Yup. Such cards called eGPU. But issue not in card, I think. Bigscreen app shows desktop fine.

If so...]]></description>

<p>Sadly, no. Only to buy. But I prefer to buy something much more efficient. And certainly not for laptop. </p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Since you have an external GPU, I assume you have an external PCI box with a desktop card in it?<br />If so: maybe see and try to get your hands on a little more potent GPU, like a 1060 or 1080. Doesn't even need to be top of the line.<br />Or maybe see if you can test with one to see if it even makes a difference.</p>
<p>Virtual Desktop: well, you can try it and if it doesn't work, you can always ask for a refund. Make sure you get <a title="Virtual Desktop for Oculus Quest" href="https://www.oculus.com/deeplink/?action=view&amp;path=app/2017050365004772&amp;ref=oculus_desktop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this version</a> though.<br />Warning: The version from Steam is not the one you're looking for!!</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@hans yeah. It's kinda lowest GPU for VR, but most games working good on average settings, but sometimes it just can stuck badly for half min, lol. I checked - only GPU I got max loaded all time, while playing any pcvr. Anyway, I set, to power save, with all this  exe files, from YouTube link, to internal GPU. Cuz external one - is performance option, not power saver, as recommended there. Thanks anyway. Hope, maybe, at least, one dev will pass here...</p>
<p>I'm planning to buy virtual desktop, later, one day... Hope, there will be no such issues.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>I'm inclined to think the GPU cannot keep up, or doesn't support the "streaming" option (the desktop is recorded as a video, and then compressed and streamed as video to your HMD/Quest). The fact that it is an external GPU may be the cause as well, but to be honest I have no experience with external GPU's.</p>
<p>Did you try Virtual Desktop (native Quest 2 - <a href="https://www.vrdesktop.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">link</a>)?</p>]]></content:encoded>
