Stuttering in Elden Ring - PC

[undercooked spaghetti]

Hi, I recently bought Elden Ring on PC (steam) and I've been experience a lot of 1% frame drops which feel like the game's stuttering and make the overall experience feel choppy (see attached). I've tried to force V-Sync from Nvidea Control panel but that didn't do anything to improve the situation. Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

My specs are: 

Ryzen 5 5600X

GTX 1070 8gb

16GB Trident Z 3600mhz

 

Thanks.

Wont matter, game's engine locked at 60fps.

 

What setting is this on?

Game ministutters when it loads textures first time to memory. If you got slow ram / harddrive the hitches are more notable. There was a modpack that loaded all shaders on load; try searching it out.
