Hardware & Technical Game drops to 45 fps near stations or NPC's

Hello, im experiencing some difficulties keeping a good framerate.

Ive had my Rift for about 3 weeks now and im loving Elite in VR!
But for some reason whenever i get close to a station my FPS drops to 45, which is HALF the usual FPS.

On a recommendation by my friend Hell Razor5543 i completely reinstalled windows so the drivers of my old graphics card would be gone.
Yet it still drops to 45 FPS!

Please help!

Setup:
Motherboard: Asus H87-PLUS
CPU: Intel Core i7-4771 @ 3.50 GHZ
MEM: 16 GB DDR4
Graphics card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming
Power Supply: FSP FSP600-50ARN

Sounds like ASW is kicking in as your rig can't maintain 90fps in those situations. It's a feature to keep the smoothness necessary for a VR experience that doesn't make you boak. In those situations, rather than let the FPS vary (which is nauseating), the software will take the current frame, manipulate it to make it look like the "next" frame, and discard the GPU-rendered one. That's why you get exactly 45fps.

Basically the Rift software is guessing what the next frame should look like rather than allowing the GPU to miss a frame and introduce stutter. To stop it happening, you'll need to make tweaks either to the detail of the game, or change hardware. Is your CPU hitting 100% usage in the situations you mention?
