Sudden stutter/jitter after a few minutes of play

One issue after another... I set up my rift recently, and everything was sort of ok. Watched a few 360 videos, and they were ok too. Now I bought "please don't touch anything" and trying to play that. First few minutes is ok. But then, everything goes bad. I get terrible stuttering that makes me sick, and contributes to headache. Going back to oculus home does not solve the issue, but stuttering continues. Then after a few seconds, it stops. Restarting the game kicks in the stutter, and same cycle repeats. 

Things I tried:
 - Restarting Oculus home does not have any effect.
 - Rebooting PC, not starting any apps but Oculus. Same thing (first few minutes ok, then goes bad).
 - Ran compatibility tool, and USB drivers check out OK
 - Disconnected rift from usb, restart Oculus app, reconnect.
 - Swap USB ports with the sensor (I can't try a different one, as I have only 2 ports directly on the mobo)
 - Adjusted sensor location/positioning, no luck
 - Enabled "Performance" power profile
 - Reinstalled oculus app

I ran hardware monitor, and when this happens, I'm nowhere near full load on both GPU and CPU:

Yes, 770 does not meet recommended spec, but at 63% utilization, there is 50% more juice to be made out of this card, if that'd be an issue.

I've also made 120fps video of the stutter here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f93F-iznHis. It's pretty much how it feels, and you can see very uneven frame changes.

One thing I noticed in the hardware monitor is that GPU is not at full clock speed. And I've read some people reference to power profile of Nvidia that can be adjusted, but I don't see it anywhere in the control panel.

Please advise.

Mmm, I'd use it as a last resort. I use this computer for a lot of other stuff first and foremost, and gaming is a secondary duty. I'd need to spend a whole weekend to get everything back together. Not really an option for me at this time.

You're not using something like Flux are you?

No, not using f.lux, or antivirus (except for Windows built-in stuff)
