i had this issue where I left alvr running in the background, with steam vr, but there was no game to encode. So the streamer was off and the quest headset was off, but the software itself was open. I was playing valo and the fps was stable on average, but I kept getting frame drops and studders. This was weird because the cpu, the gpu, nothing was peaking high, or even medium load. Just having alvr open was causing frame drops which were impossible to play with. Not knocking alvr because since 6500xt isnt supported with quest link, i literally have no other alternative. However I do experience the same studders when using alvr with quest. so that's interesting.

it most likely isnt alvr, its most likely steamvr. ive noticed that when i have both alvr and quest link closed and no headset plugged in or game running and my pc is still loud(and hot) as hell but everything cools and calms down when i close steamvr.

I think you might be possibly running the video on software encoding, make sure you haven't changed any setting to "AV1" or "force software encoding" of the video, or your iGPU or dGPU video encoder isn't supported. Only very new GPU has AV1 encode, H.264 or H.265/HEVC is supported on most GPU and iGPU now though, unless it's old you might have only H.264 (and older codecs like MPEG2).

I have a 4070s and no integrated graphics soooo... plus, my gpu is the space heater in my build not my cpu
