Something I've noticed...
The game seems to suffer from micro stutters, quite often.

My system is powerful enough to run this game on maximum settings; 4K, Very High, Upscaling off, and Frame Generation off.

I'm not sure if the game is loading in new areas, but every now and then there is some lag and/or stutters.

Does this happen after about half an hour's gameplay? I had this issue and only a reboot of the PC would fix the stuttering (I noticed the PC was laggy in general use after quitting the game) and most of the time the game took ages to quit.

This was caused by the playstation overlay which I fixed by renaming the folder PSPC_SDK in %programdata%Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc to PSPC_SDK.old and it caused an error when the game starts as expected but the game now works and the frame rate is roughly doubled too.

Might work for you until a patch comes out.

It happens even before half an hour... usually when there's a lot of scenery, when I'm running around, or when I enter locations.

My PC is fine... and my FPS are at around 90.

Seems like a vram problem. Try limiting your frame rate to 80 or 70, just to see, if it still stutters. What is your gpu if I may ask? It could also be Nvidia Reflex. You may try to turn it off and also turn V-Sync off in the game and force Vsync via the Nvidia app.

Hoffe, dass hilft. / I hope that helps

I doubt that it's a VRAM problem... NVidia Reflex is off, so is V-Sync.

Feel free to take a look at my system specifications; located on my profile.
