Sudden drop in performance. Help needed.
I have an i7-9700k and a 1080ti. It's been about two weeks since I got my index and everything has been great, performing at 144fps at 144hz with low gpu and cpu frametimes. Today while playing half life alyx I experienced a huge increase in gpu frametime to 11-13ms and only getting 70fps. Motion smoothing is off everywhere, resolution is set to 100%. I even lowered the refresh rate and quality and there is literally no difference. Can anyone please help?

I'm not entirely sure what your issue is, but I can guarantee that you aren't able to run 144htz in most games with that graphics card without reprojection, maybe that's part of your issue. You had it on and didn't even know it
even if that was true, which I know it isn't because I have seen the fps numbers and frametime. It is still a huge drop in performance
What games were you getting that in?
half life alyx, boneworks, pavlov. Everything worked great before
Somethings not right here. You really should be able to push those frames. Seems really weird, but if it works for you and looks good then I guess I can't say anything.
Unfortunately, it may have been an issue with the software you were using to track frames/reprojection. I have a 2080ti and an i5-9600k OC’d and even I can’t run everything on 144hz without reprojection.
What might have happened is that your reprojection setting got turned off in steamVR, so now instead of smooth double frames, you’re going to get jarring stuttering and drops. Try fixing that
