RTX3080, poor performances

[Monsieur Cedric]

Just purchased the game yesterday. When I start, it says I should lower the settings, but the problem is I have a RTX3080, 32GB, 3700X, m2 drive. When I play (Odyssey+), I get a lot of stuttering. Someone posted on reddit yesterday and it seems like I am not the only one with the same problem.
Could it be driver related? or maybe another crappy Win10 update?

I can't speak personally as not been lucky enough to snag a new card, but the 30xx series has been known since release to have issues with VR (driver related issues I believe).

It's been semi-addressed as I understand it but not completely fixed by Nvidia.

There are good threads around on it (check out the SteamVR community pages for some I believe) but the crux of workarounds for now come to making sure you disable all overclocking and monitoring tools (MSI afterburner, FPS VR etc) which should improve the situation a bit.

Good luck!

I have a 3090 FTW3 Ultra on my main system and it runs great. Second system has a 3070 Ultra. Installing VR on it now and will post back on how it goes.

Ok just tried it on my 3070 system and it ran great with everything set to Ultra in the game. I am using Valve Index. I think our CPUs are comparable so that would not be a huge factor.

I would try running DDU to remove all traces of existing GPU driver. After that install the most current. If issue still exists, run DDU again and install an older driver.

I would run a HWINFO, to see which part of the system is maxed out, and if there is a Thermal Throttling happening during the performance failures. This would sort it out.

You're not running in Vulkan mode are you?

It could be wifi problem. You are essentially cloud-sourcing game from your own PC to your VR headset via wifi, so if there are some problem in your wifi enviroment, it doesn't matter how good your PC is. Game will have a lot of stuttering regardlessly.
You can easily test whether this is your case or not by connecting your gear to pc by wire for test.

I once had a same problem. My spec is 5800x, 32gb, 4x4 nVME and 3060 rtx.
When I first played this by wifi it had a lot of stuttering just like you. It was playble fine, but experience was quite bad. Looked around for possible cause and when I linked in with C cable(I'm using quest 2), game runs super smooth like 999fps without absolutely no hiccup
on maximum setting.

So I know cause was wifi connection, and adjusted AP / hz tuning and now, although still inferior(naturally) compared to C cable. it very fine to play with wifi

Why? Should I or should I not? I have tried with and without, and I still get this message.

Set input switching to manual in your WMR settings and downgrade your nvidia driver to 442.74

Thanks, unfortunately downgrading seems impossible (gives me the "not supported hardware" error message), probably because I have flashed the bios to use resizable bar with the recent drivers. I guess I can only wait for nVidia to fix this issue in the next drivers.
