FIXED, wow this was a long winded process of elimination and it's very odd how link isn't affected, but video explains the breakdown as to why this is happening.
the TLDR to fix is, open task manager, click on the details tab OVRServer_x64.exe, right click and set priority to HIGH, click confirm and do the same for the game you are playing, doing either one alone will not work it has to be both!
note that closing your game will end the process and you will need to set priority again, same for when you close or restart oculus server or PC
WHY this is happening for CV1 and not LINK I seriously do not know, but at least its an easy fix and one oculus could push in an update if they remember, just took me 3 days of doing absolutely everything else to find, don't waste your time doing anything on your system if the only thing that has changed is the oculus version, this fix ONLY applies to the introduced bug, not (or maybe not) going to fix any other issues you have with the system.
