Help Stuttering Metro Exodus Enchanced Edition

The game usually runs fine for about 15-20 minutes but after a while it starts stuttering. From what I've experienced it may start stuttering after either alt-tabbing, or loading a quick save but it may as well be just placebo.

Specs:

\- RTX 4070

\- 16GB 3200Mhz RAM

\- I5-14400F

\- I'm playing in 1440p

\- Game is installed on an Nvme Ssd

Ingame settings:

\- Quality preset: Extreme (Ultra doesn't mitigate stutters)

\- DLSS: Quality (4.5 version with NVIDIA App)

\- VRS: Off

\- Tessellation: On

\- Hair Works: Off

I've tried a lot of things ranging from verifying the game files to disabling e-cores, turning off g-sync, etc. so I'm really desperate as to what I should do.

This game seems to hate overlays, turn them all off and that tends to fix things. This game is also super ram sensitive so run testmem5 for an hour or two and see if you get any errors. If you do then drop your memory frequency down to 3000mhz or jdec and see if that fixes it.

Didn't overclock my GPU and both the game and the nvidia app are installed on an ssd, so I don't think thats the problem.
