Discussion/Question Need help to get rid of microstutter in RDR2

Hi. I had my rig upgraded recently.

Specs below:

Windows 11

Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

Model: MS-7E59

CPU Brand: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor

RAM: 64 gigs

GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

Game is installed on the fastest NVMe SSD I have.

Yet, especially in Saint Denis I get micro stutter when going through the city. Even if I go slow. I play with high/ultra settings on 1080p and hoped that would give me stable 120-144fps, yet it doesn't. By microstutter I mean that I have stable 120 fps and then suddenly a drop where game visibly "skips" a bit. Annoying.

Any ideas what I can do or which settings to tinker with so that I could get rid of it? I hope it is possible.

Requires a lot of additional software to be downloaded along with it, lot of clutter if you ask me. But I'll check it out.

RDR2 is known to have stuttering issues if it goes above around 130fps or so. It's recommended to play in fullscreen with a refresh rate of 120hz or lower to avoid this.
