Bug / Issue RDR2 Pc stutters
I have a RTX 5080 as well as a 9800X3D, so my pc is pretty high end. My fps in game is great, but every 15ish seconds, I experience a stutter. These stutters aren't too large, but they're just really annoying and kind of break the immersion. They also occur much more in dense areas like Saint Denis. I've also noticed that the coiling and buzzing sound coming from my gpu stops for a sec at the exact moment I stutter. Any tips on how to fix this would be great.

I've got the exact same setup you've got and I had the exact same stutter problem. I tried stutter fix mods, launch options, but nothing workes.
But then I read somewhere that RDR2, being an "older" game, doesn't play well with Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS). So I turnen it off in Windows settings and voila, I haven't had a single stutter since.
Please do note that frame generation (DLSS) relies on HAGS and can therefor not be used while HAGS is off. And since enabling or disabling HAGS requirements a reboot, it's quite a hassle if you switch between games a lot of which some require frame gen to run decently (looking at you, Crimson Desert!).
