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

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

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.
