Stuck at 45FPS While in VR

So recently upgraded to windows 11 ... everything has been ok except for elite dangerous.. regardless of what version I use (EDO or EDH) I am stuck at 45fps

Prior on windows 10 I would be able to get 90FPS in the main menu or open space pretty easily but not the case anymore. I went ahead and tried other VR games and they seem to run fine and can hit 90fps no issues.

spec
i7 10700k
32gb of ram
RTX3080
elite is on SSD
headset: index running steamvr & fpsvr

settings wise not pushing anything major did my regular custom with AA disabled, everything mostly in med and SS and HMDQ both set to 1.0
 
Any help? ....... I even tried re-installing the game fresh download and still stuck on 60 to 45FPS VR performance has never been this bad
 
No idea, but consistent 45 would suggest "force always on" being set for for motion smoothing (this option is a per-title setting in SteamVR, so if you have never set any for Elite, that shouldn't be your problem)...

I'm sticking with win10, myself, so I can't relate, but it could be worth checking whether there are any "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" graphics settings, or "Game bar/mode" stuff, that one could try disabling...
 
Sounds like some sort of limiter. I would check settings/limiters in Windows, Steam, in-game and in any other software you have installed managing E: D.
 
While troubleshooting I found something interesting with windows 11... if elite is running in window mode it's stuck in 45fps and bad performance like 78% reprojection.. however when the game was out of focus fps shot up to 90 .. so I changed it to full screen and boom 90fps again. Not sure what this is about but I wanted to share incase someone runs into the same issue. This was odd because another game I tested in VR which was star wars squadrons also runs in a small window but that one was getting stellar FPS.
