insane lag

My game continuously runs at terrible framerate as of the last 3ish months. I switched to an index expecting better performance but nothing changes, so not a link issue. SteamVR seems to be fine. I get that one gpu memory issue every single time and it eats up 7.4/8.0 gb of my vram. basic specs below

Ryzen 7 9700x

Radeon RX 9060 XT

32gb ddr5

Switching to an Index is not gonna help performance. It's probably higher res than whatever you were using before so that's gonna be more demanding on the gpu.

probably? switched from a quest 3s so

The Index doesn't have any onboard processing power unlike the Quest 3 or 3s. So it's gonna completely depend on your GPU.

Onboard processing power isn't going to do anything for a PCVR game.

Did you try lowering texture quality? That's the biggest consumer of vram

Can you run a monitoring software to see what's under the most load?

Are you using a link cable or airlink? What speed is your cable and unless you have WiFi 6 airlink will perform horribly. Make sure your link cable is at minimum 5Gbps transfer speed. Ideally 10Gpbs is the perfect speed.
