Good framerate but massive stuttering in more graphically intensive games.

performancequestion
Hello! Ive been searching around and troubleshooting to no avail but it seems that whenever I play a more graphically intensive game on my system (Icarus, Once Human) I can stand still, look at intensive object even with RT and get butter smooth fps but as soon as I turn or start moving it starts chopping pretty hard, like Ill get 40+ frames of smooth content one sec then the next sec a big drop and then right back to smooth and then maybe Ill get 15 seconds of smooth before it starts acting out of pocket again. Its only JUST unplayable and its like the rendering of stuff is fine but the texture streaming or loading of the actual objects trip it up.

I know my system can handle this at 1440p as it has done so before and played games that would be much harder to run than the two previously mentioned. Changing any graphics settings seems to have 0 effect on this. Ive tried several versions of proton as per ProtonDB, different install locations (System SSD, secondary SSD and HDD), Dx11, Dx12 and even launch options to minimal success. I am unfortunately on Nvidia. When watching performance graphs of the game CPU and memory usage is completely nominal but GPU usage actually TANKS right when the stutters happen then go back to normal as highlighted. The screenshot is while I was playing Once Human.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
