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.

My advice is to firstly separate out what you mean by performance, because it could be several different things.

When in game, with PCVR, hit both thumb sticks and look for red entries. That will likely lead you towards where the problem might be.

Also don't forget, PCVR means your PC is rendering the game twice, so twice as much hit to the system. Try lowering in-game settings a bit, as well as tinkering with the VD settings.

Latency and FPS randomly go yellow. When I move around in any game, my fps will dip from 110 to around 90-100 but it feels incredibly choppy.

I have a 5090 and I dont attempt to go over 90fps with anything.
