lost performance with 2080ti

[356thFS_Piranha]

My system,

i7 9700k 32g 3200mhz ram, z390 aurous motherboard EVGA 2080ti, Reverb head set. 

This is a new GPU and head set with a 6 mo old system. After the GPU install the graphics were terrific for two weeks or so. I decided to re-configure my office and shut down the computer and move two monitors to different places.

At about the same time windows and Nvidia both updated, not sure if any of this is related but yesterday I noticed my frame rates have plummeted. 
I've been trying to rectify this for the last 12 hours to no avail. 
I'm getting 25 FPS in Steam VR home. The game is unplayable with terrible stutters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WMR. That's your problem. There's been a recent issue with it because of some OS update...  there's couple of posts about it ..  Sry, can't be more specific, just search for WMR update..

All,

moosya, Thanks for the reply.

It turns out it was a ribbon cable connecting my GPU to motherboard. EVGA tech support help me figure it out, they were great. Got rid of Ribbon cable and connected it straight into pcie slot and have the best performance ever. Word to the wise do not use ribbon cables!!!
