SteamVR and OpenVR in general is a great system which has enabled many gamers to enjoy VR from the freedom of vendor lockin by providers like Meta. It isn’t perfect however and whilst it comes along with some great motion smoothing that has a cost. Unfortunately if you are using the Valve Index that cost is the price of doing business. As a first party SteamVR headset you have no other option. Those of us using third party headsets though like the Reverb G2, we have another path to using VR on our Steam games. OpenXR.
