Weird Issue with VR (Index+1070)

[Mnky313]

So my friend is having some issues while playing VR, while the Index is on and running there is artifacting that randomly shows up on either monitor and lots of stuttering in games (this doesn't happen while playing games not in VR). I know a 1070 isn't very powerful especially for the index but even a game like beat saber has awful stuttering issues (and the performance counter this shows frametimes never even get close to the 8.3ms of the 120Hz, they sit way above this, somewhere in the 15ms range.) This combined with the stuttering makes it almost unplayable.
Tried re-installing graphics and Index/SteamVR drivers and the Index works flawlessly on my laptop (2070+9750h) even in 144Hz mode.)
Any other ideas?

what CPU are they using? Are the GPU drivers up to date?

my 1070 was having somewhat similar issues with a rift s. under clocking the memory by -450, core by -100, and voltage to 85% smoothed it out, might help his as well.

Yes, they are the latest game-ready drivers.

Interesting, I'll have him try that.
