Poor Performance - FPS Suttering/Lag etc

@PikaremoD3DSCache is the place where DirectX saves shaders cache files no matter what video card you use. It is related to any game you use and run under DirectX. Perhaps my word doesn't count much but I clear that folder once I'm done playing a game and move to another and on special occasions when I see glitches in game (glitches that persist after rebooting the game).
Don't go for low settings in game, pick high preset. Some shaders are build based on level of details.
On Nvidia Control Panel: restore all settings to default, apply, the set shader cache size to 5gb and make sure the power management mode is set for max performance.
I tested this game (for a bit) on weaker laptop fitted with GTX1650ti and building cache the first time took about 15 min while starting the game was 2-3 min of shaders verification. In lighthouse no stutter at all (average 35 FPS with mixed setting of high, ultra and low). So based on your laptop's specs you should get better results. What is it worth to mention, I don't use GeForce Experience (avoid installing is and uninstalling if bypass my choices) since I had problems in few games (Mass Effect Andromeda was one one them - random stutters). For testing purpose, keep any form of v-sync disabled (this setting is good only for tearing mitigation).
