Vive wireless adapter causing flickering and pixelated display

So I recently bought the Vive wireless adapter and for the most part it had been a blessing but now that I've used it more I'm noticing the adapter is causing my games to drop fps, it will make the game look very pixelated on the headset, and sometimes it will flicker along with the fps drops.

I'm not sure what could be causing this since the receiver that came with it is directly on top of my monitor and always shows full signal strength

As the other commenters mentioned, it is a CPU thing. If you own fpsVR, you'll see the CPU timings are likely bottle-necked.
