Low vr fps in all games

[gamagama69]

I have been having issues with low fps in vr games with my oculus rift cv1. These issues persist across different vr games and settings. The problem I get is that in vr games, I get dips in framerate down to 45fps exactly. I know this because of the fpsVR applicatioon, and it shows under-utilized gpu, sometimes as low as 60%. I don't think it's a cpu bottleneck either, as the highest usage I get is 80%, and it's usually lower than that.

I am running at 100% of the oculus rift cv1 resolution, and the tested games that exhibit this behavior are beat saber, superhot vr, half-life alyx, vr chat, and steam vr home.
