Thanks for the suggestions. I've uninstalled my anti virus and forced ASW to always be on but I'm still having no luck unfortunately.

I've re-installed oculus home, I've tried different nvidia drivers and I've re-installed both Elite Dangerous and DCS (the beta before 2.5.6) but unfortunately the problem is still the same. In fact I've noticed I get the stuttering in the menu screen of both games as well. I don't however get the problem with No mans sky, Echo VR or IL2. Any ideas what I could try next?

Thanks for the reply Bluecat. My problem seems to be slightly different from yours. I don't get the stuttering quite as consistently as you and also not for long enough to get the hour glass, just a fraction of a second for me. Have you tried any other VR games and does it still occur with those games? I don't thinks it's a driver issue as the problem didn't start after a driver update, but when I get a chance I'll try some older drivers and see if that makes a difference.

I was wondering if anyone could help. In the last week I've started having problems with stutters while using my rift s. It happens approximately every 20 or 30 seconds and is quite a jarring experience. I've been monitoring GPU usage and frame time and every time there is a frame time spike there is a dip in GPU usage. I'm not sure if this makes sense but it's almost as if the GPU has a little rest which causes a frame time spike. I hadn't had this problem at all before and it didn't start after any changes, although I have since reinstalled oculus home and nvidia drivers, all to no avail. The problem also occurs while playing Elite Dangerous in VR but strangely not IL2 Sturmovic. I've also tried a 2d game which kept the GPU usage constantly over 90% without frame time spikes so it doesn't seem to me that it's a GPU problem. Just to reiterate the stutter occurs alongside a frame time spike and a dip in GPU usage. There's no CPU spike during this either. My specs are RTX 2080 super I7 9700K 32 GB DDR 4 ram at 3200 mhz 1 tb SSD Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks
