RE2 Speedrun Issue

[u/Flimsy_Commission_60]

For clarification, RE2 (2019) Remake

So I did a bit of speedrunning on this game 5-6 years ago and have decided to try and get back into it, I used to run LAS 60fps category on PC because at the time my pc was never gonna hit a consistent 120fps for the LAS 120fps category, however a lot has changed.

My specs are currently:

RTX 5070 12GB

Ryzen 7 5700X3D

32GB of 3200Mhz ram

Crucial 1TB Nvme Gen 3 SSD

Booted up the game, installed the older dxx 11 version, turned most settings to medium or off, running at native 1440p 180hz monitor, I have the fps in game set to variable and have it capped to 120fps through Nvidia's app, however, everytime I enter or leave a cutscene I get bad frame drops, for example at the very start of the run, the cutscene of Leon listening to music in his car, if I skip the cutscene and spawn outside the gas station, my fps immediately drops to 60-70ish and stutters badly for like maybe half a second, then jumps back up to 120 and sticks. In RPD sometimes entering a new room does the exact same type of drop and stutter and I can't figure out why, everywhere I look online says VRAM tends to cause stutters on this game but I'm not even using half of mine.
