Steam VR BROKEN with 5080 GPU

I'm getting the exact same issues as these poor devils, a total stutter fest in any Steam VR games, anyone else?.....

Seems to be driver related would be my guess and Nvidia have acknowledged the issue as shown in that thread above. These 572.16 drivers (only ones that work with 5000 cards) are a total **** show though. All sorts of weird issues happening, but they were fine on my 3090. I'm guessing it's the same for 5090 users too? Anyone confirm?

I'm using a quest 2 via steamvr and it's working fine, no issues in any other games on flat screen either

You on a 5080?

Yes

Hmmm, very odd then. At least Nvidia have acknowledged that it's an issue so should hopefully get fixed soon in drivers.

Really annoying as VR was the thing I wanted to test most with this GPU.

Yeah, an issue for some people doesn't guarantee everyone gets it. There's been several issues reported but I haven't got any of them, I was already running the drivers on my 3080, literally just removed the old card and stuck the new one in without reinstalling or anything.

Some people do ddu or reinstall drivers etc. as they swear by it, inadvertently they could be causing problems.

You know what, that's what I did! I was just going to take out old card, put in new card, put kept reading oh you must DDU blah blah blah. I had a nightmare, black screens etc. Could only fix by running off my iGPU and then all sorts of nonsense. I think DDU ****** it up!
