Oculus stuttering in SteamVR games

Reloaded99
Not applicable
When im playing a game (On steamVR) the game stutters and its struggling to keep loading. I was playing Onward VR and when i get into a firefight, my game starts lagging and the SteamVR loading screen starts popping up every half a second, going back and forth between the game and the SteamVR loading screen. The game is struggling to stay consistent and running when i get in a situation. I turned off all prejection options and im running in SteamVR Beta, becuase SteamVR beta is pretty optimal for oculus. What can i do? Is my PC not strong enough to handle the action? Oculus runs perfect on Oculus Games (Superhot, Robo recall) but maybe high end ones are too much to handle.

SPECS:
Amd radeon Rx 480
AMD FX 4350 Unlocked Quad Core Processor 4.2Ghz
8GB DDR3 RAM
(Will specify more specs if needed)

Yes i have, and i feel the beta one runs more smooth than the normal one.

Known issue ... how severe the stuttering is depends on the game vs your system specs. SteamVR is overall a massive extra overhead for Oculus users, you basically need triple the system power than you should normally need (depending on the game). Unfortunately the only remedy is to just get a better system.

Not 100% sure, but I beleive the Vive users experience the same problems using ReVive to play Oculus games.

Thanks! I assumed it was the cpu as i heard SteamVR is a hugr upgrade for oculus. I'll upgrade asap (knowing i actually have a couple hundred dollars left over from before i bought the Oculus)

Ya i have the rx 480 as well and it runs VR great! But i have an i7 4790k to go with it. I also have 16gb of ram. I recommend you get more ram as well.

Anyway if you upgrade your cpu you will likely need a new motherboard or make sure its compatible with it. The new ryzen cpus are really really good. If you do want to go intel an i7 7700k or even i5 would be great for many many years.
