If your Steam VR is laggy, it might be your internet connection. Especially if you're playing games that require a connection or downloading updates in the background, this can cause lag. Try using a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi for a more stable experience.

It could be a few things causing your Steam VR to lag. First, check if your PC meets the minimum requirements for VR gaming - sometimes, an upgrade is necessary to handle the load. Also, ensure your GPU drivers are up-to-date, and close any background applications that might be eating up your system's resources. Steam VR can be resource-intensive, and having other programs running can significantly affect performance.

Just reboot your system and the VR headset. Sounds too simple, but you'd be surprised how often turning it off and on again works like a charm for tech issues.

Honestly, Steam VR's lag might just tell you it's time for an upgrade. VR tech moves fast, and yesterday's top-of-the-line could be today's minimum spec.
