Stuttering is unbearable at this point With Video Proof
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Upgrade your system memory to at least 32 GB of RAM, as the game heavily consumes over 16 GB during gameplay. Additionally, turn off Ray Tracing and lower your graphics settings to reduce VRAM pressure.
Performance after Denuvo removal
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Cap your frame rate to your monitor's refresh rate. Ignore performance claims about Denuvo removal since it yields no noticeable FPS difference.
