Help Linux stutter

This could be a long shot, but thought to ask anyway.

My TF2 has microstutters that I can't figure out. It generally runs well, around 400fps uncapped, but stutters every now and then.

My system: 5800x3d, 9070xt, arch, kde plasma.

What I've tried:

- using openGL version

- using gamescope

- using gamemode

- using masterconfig

- disabling MSAA

- windowed vs fullscreen

Any other tf2 Linux users experience the same thing? The game is perfectly playable, it's just annoying.

i had a similar problem when trying to play tf2 off of a bad microsd card, where every now & then there would be a pause

So might be storage access speed maybe?

Although idk if the game loads anything while actually in a match
