Massive FPS drops while playing randomly on PC / Urgent patch required.

EDIT: So the only way that i seem to have fixed it is by lowering the settings all to High with SSAO and using DLSS on Balanced. haven't have happened again yet, the traversal stutters are still present though. i hope that VRAM consumption can be improved in patches.

So i've been having this issue where after a while playing the game it will slow to a crawl (10-15 FPS) for some time and then fix itself or it can be fixed by reloading the save.

I am playing at 4K with DLSS Quality and all Ultra + RTAO with no motion blur and no film grain.

i also already tried many "fixes" like:

directx to vulkan file

deleting cache and rebuilding

enabling resizable bar

stopping wallpaper engine

and more.

When the game drops frames the GPU Watt consumption goes from 300W to around 120W, i've seen it could be a VRAM issue?

My PC:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3D

GPU: RTX 3080 ventus 10 GB

Motherboard: MSI b450 Tomahawk

RAM: Corsair vengeance pro rgb 16 GB

HDD/SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus

My DXDIAG is below

    Doesn't matter what hardware you use, after 15 minutes of play the game bogs down to <10fps and becomes unplayable.  Feels like a massive memory leak.

    With those types of problems I would highly recommend you to not play a game until update.

    You could damage your PSU or GPU. Many people did with other games, they dont even know it.

    Wait for update.

    I've been monitoring with MSI afterburner and i am 90% sure it's a VRAM issue. my 10 GB of VRAM are always maxed out and seems that on some spots it surpasses it which makes it lag so hard. I hope they can release a patch to reduce VRAM usage or atleast give us options for texture resultion...

    i't quite unacceptable ont op of the Stutters to have to deal with this massive issue.
