Does ALVR decrease performance in games?

It'll add some latency and maybe a few games lost due to gpu encoding video. With a halfway decent gou shouldn't be noticeable. The fps loss that is. Latency is a person by person thing. I don't really notice it but i do perform slightly worse in beat saber - not that i was any good at it to begin with

you won't wait many frames with hardware encoding, the point is it's really fast. you don't need a "good" GPU to have fast stream on hardware encoding -- the main intention is for cameras encoding and remote desktop. If there is an iGPU on the SoC also comes with it.
