RX 9070XT Low clock speed while in vr. Causing artifacts.

Specs Ryzen 7 5800x3d: 32gb of ddr4 3600mhz: 1tb 970 EVO plus ssd: corsair RM 1000e psu: As rock B550mITX: bios 3.46 beta: Asus Prime RX 9070XT: driver version 25.3.1.: VR Quest 2: Temps are all below 80c in benchmarks.

Problem: When I play vr I start in a demanding enough environment so my gpu clocks up as it should to play the game. However if I stand still or go into the menu in let's say beatsaber. It hits the fps cap and clocks down which causes artifacts that look like a bad tv signal. 

What I have tried: Forcing meta to stay at one target frame rate and resolution. Setting the power mode to high power draw on windows and amd adrenaline. Turning off ASW in oculus debug tool. Running the games at high resolution and graphics to make it more demanding. Running the games at low res and graphics to make it less demanding. Rasing the fps cap to 90 to rase what it has to try and achieve. Lowering the fps cap to see if it was struggling to run the game. 

I had the same issue on my 7800xt previously. However there was a way to lock the clock speed on that card which fixed the issue. I cannot find a way to lock the clock on the 9070xt.

Update. Last fix only worked temporarily.  However its solved! My motherboards USB ports are terrible. I used two different USB c cables. One USB 3.2 gen 2 c to c and one USB 3.2 gen one cable type a to c. Both had the same issue. However once I turned on air link everything was fine. Over 90 fps in all my vr titles. No artifacts or trouble.

As of right now it is fixed but it may return. Disable windows advanced scheduling garbage. Ran DDU and reinstalled drivers.

Underestimated how incredible this gpu is. Ran vr in 120hz at 120fps at 1.3x res at max graphics. No more downclocking issues thus far.
