Yeah but that wouldn't tax the GPU since nothing is being rendered in 3D space, maybe just the CPU. Same reason why if something in a world makes your FPS drop like a rock you can just look completely away from it and your FPS will spike back up.

Yes I have this problem, and for a while it was my only problem but now I seem to have the same sort of issue even without opening SteamVR. For example I've had it happen from a freshly launched game, without ever opening the SteamVR overlay. I've also had it happen where I visited shit like Parareal Paris in the current vket event which tanked my frames and I'm like okay, this world is just shit, its fine. And then I go back to my default homeworld and for some fucking reason the shit FPS follows me there?

The stuff I'm describing is the exact same kind of framedrops you get with the SteamVR overlay issue, but it doesn't seem to only happen with the SteamVR overlay anymore. And for the record I also have no fucking idea how to make the SteamVR overlay issue stop either.
