Why do games look so much better on the Oculus Quest 2 vs Quest 1?

The Oculus Quest 2 contains a new upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor system. Where the Snapdragon 835 on the Quest 1 was released in 2017, the new XR2 is brand new for 2020. In addition, the Quest 2 comes with 6 GB of RAM, which is two more than the previous generation.

All-in-all, this allows VR developers to upgrade their games to take advantage of the extra processing power in the new processor.

According to Venturebeat, the Snapdragon XR2 offers twice the CPU and GPU performance of the 835, over 11 times faster AI processing, six times the video resolution support, and four times the video bandwidth. Using XR2, each eye can have up to a 3K by 3K display at 90 frames per second.

Comparing the Quest 2 vs 1, there is enough power in the new headset to include physically based rendering (PBR) models which allow for higher quality shadows and reflective materials.
