extreme lag valve index

[Beachfighter]

im getting insane lag with the valve index I check the performance and its 40 of 6,9 Ms on 144 Hz I just cant fix it my pc is not downloading anyhting and lowering the graphics isnt working aswell pls help :)

1. System specs?
   
2. Title you are trying to run?
   
3. What happens if you lower the Hz?
   
4. Is your CPU or GPU maxed when this happens?
   
5. Is your CPU or GPU thermal throttling when this happens?

4,5 no 2 its with all vr games 3 same ping but it can go abit higher 1. idk what that is

[BOLL]

#1: System specifications: what is in your PC, what CPU, GPU, amount of RAM, etc. Is it a laptop or desktop. That sort of stuff.

#2: Even if you say "all vr games", you are most likely experiencing in a select few, or just how many titles do you include when saying that? This is an unknown value because it means all games you specifically are playing. I've helped people in the past where saying this only meant 1-2 titles anyway.

wel mostly pavlov and beatsaber halflife and star shelter

[Beachfighter]

my pc hardware should be fine
my cpu is at 20% when I play pavlov and beatsaber

Still, so far this is like calling your car repair shop complaining it doesn't go as fast as you want, not mentioning what the car brand or model is or which year it was made 🤷‍♂️ Hard for anyone to help at all without more information.

you want my specs? idk anything about this so what u need ill look it up :)

[BOLL]

OK I'll try to ask specific things.

1. Are you running a laptop or desktop computer?
   
2. Model of your CPU?
   
3. Model of your GPU?
   
4. Amount of RAM installed
   
5. Any anti-virus installed that is not Windows Defender
   
6. Any system tweaking application for over-clocking like MSI Afterburner
   
7. Are the installed graphics drivers up to date?
   
8. Are you running more than 100% Render Resolution in SteamVR?

That's it for now.

1. pc
2. i7-8700k
3. NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080 Ti
4. installed 32 GB available 24GB
5. NOD 32
6. dont think so
7. it had an update available so mabe thats it :P
8. render res is on automatic

If even Half-Life: Alyx is lagging it's a bit weird, because that game uses dynamic fidelity and should lower settings to meet the desired frame-rate. 🤔 An from the looks of it you have a capable system.

From the values you mentioned in the first post you are getting 25 Hz instead, which of course is as you title it, extreme lag. At least now we know you're not playing on a potato, which helps narrowing things down.

* First thing I would try would be to disable NOD 32 and see if it makes a difference. I have not heard about it being bad for VR specifically, but in general third party anti-virus can be troublesome.

* Second, set the render resolution to 100% manually and see if that makes for any difference.

* Third, is your headset connected to the GPU and not the ports on the motherboard?

no difference
no difference
conected to GPU

Let's go back to earlier questions. You said your GPU and CPU were not maxed when doing this. Something is going on though, what is your CPU load and GPU load when running anything that gets garbage frame-rate?

[Beachfighter]

how do I even check that xD

[Beachfighter]

when I play taskmanager sais that CPU is at 20% with 1.3 GHz and memmory at 37% 11GB

[BOLL]

Wait, while you're running a game, it says your CPU is clocked at 1.3 GHz? There's definitely something wrong in that case. You said yourself your system is not thermally throttling, how did you know that if you don't know how to check system loads?

Regardless, download OpenHardwareMonitor[openhardwaremonitor.org] and pretty much everything will be in there, when it comes to system performance and states.
