I replied to the wrong post. I have copy and pasted the very informative post by @K8ihpb etc etc.. what a user name!
Anyhow he gets all the credit for quite probably solving your issue. Whole post is below, but I copied and pasted anyway.
I'm also dealing with this issue. But I'm not going to discard the game. It's playable. But pay attention to what I'm going to say: they said the game runs poorly on NVMe M.2 drives. And that people have never complained about this when using a SATA SSD. Which seems to make sense, considering it's not a coincidence that even more powerful setups like those with an RTX 4090 or RTX 5090 still suffer from stuttering in certain areas. And what's the common factor in all these setups? The game is stored on an NVMe M.2 drive.
That's what's going to make me buy an additional SATA SSD to test and see if it solves the problem. It seems the issue with NVMe is that it's so fast the processor can't keep up. So later I'll come back here and let you know if it worked.

By the man k8ihp - impossible to remember user name. Don't take offense. Your post is great, but your user name is more like a password.

I got all the updates from this forum in my email. Been a hectic few months for me, what with going "heads down" into work, working far too long in the day, and moving house...
I appreciate that there are people who are still trying to solve my issues, but I've just given up any hope of playing DSR on my PC. It plays passibly on my SteamDeck and I've managed to get it running on my wife's PC (which is all hand-me-down hardware from my old setup: i5-7600, GTX 1070 FE, 16 GB DDR4 2333... Mostly all from 2017), albeit, barely managing to keep stable at 30 fps on account of pushing pixels to a 4k TV.
While I don't have a spare SATA SSD to try, I also haven't even turned on my desktop PC since the middle of May.
I've essentially kicked the can down the road. In the nearish future, I'll have a bit of money saved up specifically for upgrading my computer hardware. I believe the Radeon VII is ready for retirement, and the i5-9600KF is basically being used as a throttle to keep the GPU from turning the solder into a liquid. Whether or not any of that is true, I can't be certain, but it's high time to update my PC anyway.

Fair enough I guess. I mean it is only one game. Bit of a shame but the time you have spent, well I'd probably do the same.
Thanks for letting us know your decision.
When you set up a new system with NVMe, if still interested in the game. You can probably find everything you need in this thread! Maybe archived though! 😁
Likely you won't need any help at all. Good luck with your next build/upgrade!
