New RTX 4080 + 5800X3D on valve index - Dreaded purple spikes of doom

Those horrd purple immersion breaking spikes are popping up every 10 or so seconds. Had them ages ago on a different hardware configuration but that was solved by driver updates and I'd thought them to be a thing of the past.

Running 150 percent scaling at 120 Hz on Half Life alex all good apart from them damn spikes. Has the 4000 series been noted to do such things? Does the 5800X3D have VR issues? Can anybody help.

There's a timing fix for the 4k series in the latest steamvr beta.

A quick update for anyone with similar issues. I was on beta for steam already. I turned off after burner and have not had a hitch since.

I also find that quitting programs like discord and tray tools for other apps seems to make framerates more stable. Basically shut down anything not essential.
