BIG FPS DROPS, STUTTERS on a GAMING PC

[Take BP Streamer pls]

hello guys i am having some fps droping,stuttering issues, the weird thing is that It always lags in specific/same areas and makes it very unplayable. I'm having this issue over a year now, but i never solved it, but now I'm getting sick of it.

I've done this:
-Remove fps cap [than I set in to 144 because when I had it unlimited so I had about 400fps and the game started bugging bcs of that]
-turn off motion blur
-turn off v-sync
-lower down my graphic settings to very low
-change resolution to minimum
-update my GPU hardware [more than 100 times :/]
-try the fps stuttering fix from one of the discussions i found here.

my pc specs are:
gtx 1060 3gb
i7 7700 (4 ghz)
16gb of ram


Can someone help me fix it? because it doesnt make any sense to me. on this kinda old game so big fps drops on this gaming pc?

PS: Outlast is the only game that lags like this from all the games I have played on this pc (GTA V, CSGO on high details, I also tried COD, Apex legends, ) For every tip and trick I will be very happy.

Thank you,
Melvix

It could possibly be your GPU, running out of RAM.
Open up task manager and go to performance and down to GPU, leave that running and in game when it starts to stutter, Alt+tab out of game and check the current and past memory usage.

I doubt it would change very much, but have you tried test-running both Win32 and Win64 versions of the game? the installation includes both, but Steam automatically launches the 64 bit version, or whichever is most compatible with your OS.

I honestly don't know the difference all that well, outside of general compatibility between 32bit and 64bit operating systems, but hey, give it a shot anyway if you've tried everything else. Just know that because they're technically different versions, you'll need to mess around with your settings again, and I can't say with absolute certainty that you'll be able to play the same save.

OLGame.exe is what you'd be looking for, under \steamapps\common\Outlast\Binaries(\Win32 or \Win64)

Other than that, and I know you said you've already tried the fps fixes, but the only other thing I can recommend is playing with either
OLSystemSettings.ini in \Documents\My Games\Outlast\OLGame\Config, or
BaseSystemSettings.ini in \steamapps\common\Outlast\Engine\Config...
Sorry I can't be of more help.
