Here's some CPU troubleshooting tips.

Some of the CPU cores might be maxing out at 100% usage. To check if there are any CPU cores hitting 100% usage, open the Windows Task Manager CPU graph.

Run the game in windowed mode (alt + enter)
Open Task Manager (alt + ctrl + del)
Open the Performance tab, then right-click on the CPU graph and choose "Change graph to > Logical processors".
Set Task Manager to 'always on top' by clicking option

Now you can play the game and monitor per core CPU usage. If any CPU core hits 100% usage the game will stutter.

Also check if the CPU frequency is slowing down in Windows Task Manager. For example, below 3GHz.

Download CPU-Z and verify CPU RAM memory is in dual channel mode.

Make sure XMP/EXPO memory overclocking is enabled in BIOS settings.

9800x3D, 48GB @ 6000, RX9070XT, 1440p ultra, FSR Native AA. GPU is always 90% plus, all threads running at least 60+% evenly and I'm 130+ FPS and the game is smooth as anything..
