Oblivion – CPU Usage

[Xionor]

Hi,

I’m having some FPS issues in Oblivion with Oculus Rift.

I have an intel 4670K 4-core CPU overlocked to 4GHz and a Geforce 1080 Ti GPU.
I’m using vorpX on a brand new Windows 10 install, brand new Oculus Rift install, all Nvidia settings on default, so no downscaling or anything

Unmodded Oblivion in 1280p mode (resolution in-game listed at 1440×900) is absolutely crushing my CPU.
The combination of Oculus software, vorpX and Oblivion is keeping my CPU at 100% load constantly. GPU is fairing better, usually at about 60% load.

I get very unstable FPS, sometimes its below 45, sometimes its 80-ish.
Non-VR Oblivion is sitting at about 30% CPU and 30% GPU.

Is this kind of CPU/GPU usage normal with oblivion in vorpx?
Is there anything I can do to improve this and lower the CPU usage?

Perhaps it’s something in the programs i use?
First I start the Oculus software, then i start vorpX and then i start Oblivion.
Or is there some “magical” setting that I need to do?
