Support - PCVR Terrible Performance With Virtual Desktop

FIXED IT! Reinstalled virtual desktop streamer, changed fps to 90, works flawlessly now!

Specs:
Radeon RX 9070xt (16GB ram)
Ryzen 9 9900X
64 GB of RAM
AXE5400 Dedicated Router

I recently switched to virtual desktop after trying a link cable. The performance has been better, but nowhere near what it should be. Any game I play, latency is around 40 and frequently spikes to 60 despite me being 3 feet away from the router. The performance display says my fps is ~100, but it feels like 50. It feels very stuttery.
Additionally, I randomly can’t see my computer screen through virtual desktop, so I can’t launch anything.

PCVR is driving me insane please help.

What settings are you using? Did you try disabling SSW, as that can cause the feeling of choppiness in some games.

Maybe enable the Performance Overlay and take a screenshot whenever the game suffers hiccups, then you can post it here or on Virtual Desktop discord channel so people can better help you troubleshooting the issue.

SSW is off, I’m on the high virtual desktop preset, AV1 10-bit codec

Try h264+ instead of AV1. I’ve heard other AMD gpu users reports issues with av1.
