Elite Dangerous VR - CPU Late Start frames

Hello Frontier and Community,

I have finally finished upgrading my computer and was expecting to have a flawless performance on elite after that, but for my surprise it didn't happened.
My current setup is: I7-8700K @ 5Ghz all cores, 64Gb RAM 3200 Corsair Platinum, RTX 2080 TI FE, Samsung 970 PRO M2.
When I set ED to VR Ultra, I get 30FPS inside a station, after changing a lot of setting to something that I consider playable, I'm getting around 45-51 FPS inside stations.
My CPU usage is around 40%, my GPU at 98% and 9Gb of VRAM in use...
I have also noticed that I'm having constant CPU Late Start Frames (Check the attached image).
Can anyone help me understand what is going on? (I'm also attaching the game configuration that is giving me 45-51FPS)

Thanks in advance,

I'll be watching this closely, as I have the exact same issue on a lower-end gig with lower VR settings. But yeah, 3ms to 6ms of constant CPU late starts, with <40% CPU usage. But I am using a WMR headset - I think you forgot to mention what headset you're using?

Hope we get some advice! And I'll let you know if I figure out a solution. Fly safe!

I'm using WMR as well a Samsung Odyssey Non+
 
The general accepted numbers for oculus rift are, 1xSS & 1.5HMD. The HMD setting will need to be set lower if the PC is less powerful. ...lower than 1080Ti
I’m not sure the oculus cv1’s resolution is sufficient to see any difference above the fore mentioned settings. Other HMD’s will vary, but one thing is for certain, graphics cards are generally not powerful enough for the hmd image quality to be set to 2.0 and VR ultra simultaneously. Quadrupling the amount of pixels @ 90Hz to two screens is a big ask.

Well, interestingly enough, after toying around with lower HMD Quality values, there was no difference in terms of Late CPU starts, although I did get better fps in some environments.

VR Medium and VR High seem to get me the same performance as well. Nothing pushes more than 45fps in stations, but that is to be expected in a not-so-powerful gig I guess.
