PC: Stuttering even after patch 7

Product: STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug I still see severe stuttering and extremely volatile frame time fluctuations even after patch 7, especially with ray tracing enabled. Disabling ray tracing helps but does not completely remove the stuttering. Average framerate itself more than adequate especially with frame generation turned on; it is the inconsistency that is the problem.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Some areas of the game work great with very minimal stuttering, but especially Corusant and the open-world area of Koboh suffer from this issue. I encounter stuttering / random frame drops no matter which settings I use, but it is definitely worse with ray tracing enabled. So the issue should be pretty easy to find.
What happens when the bug occurs? Very noticeable stuttering, sometimes frame drops. The frame time graph shows large fluctuations.
What do you expect to see? Don't really understand the questions :D I expect to see a fix being made for this issue in the next update, as I understand that it has been there for a long time. After the fix, I expect to see stable frame time graph and smooth visuals even when using ray tracing.

Apologies for posting this issue here again; I am sure it has been posted a million times already. I just thought it would be good to flag that this issue is still there after patch 7 (for me atleast) and see whether other players are still encountering the same problem as well.

I am using RTX 4080 and i7 13700K, should you find it relevant.

Thank you for the patches you have released this far; hope that also these final issues get solved in future updates!

    You're saying that even when ray tracing is off and you have in-game graphics set to low, you have stuttering? If so, something is definitely up. I have high in-game graphics settings and don't get much stuttering with a 4070 Ti (and ray tracing turned off).

    I suggest you attach a DXDIAG report, as someone may spot something.

    @DarthFDG Thank you for your reply!

    To answer your question: Yes, even without ray tracing I get some (sometimes severe) stuttering, but it is definitely worse with ray tracing on. Didn't go all the way down to low settings, but I think that the lowest I tried was high, ray tracing off, DLSS set to Performance and frame generation enabled, which lead to my GPU clearly being underutilized. I actually just uninstalled the game while waiting for the next patch, so cannot at the moment test how it would react to lowest possible settings; however, I think there is an issue if RTX 4080 and i7 13700K get stuttering even with the above-mentioned settings.

    I just found Daniel Owen's video analysis on the new patch, and his observations actually correspond really well with what I was experiencing even with superior hardware. I understand that Digital Foundy is also preparing their own PC performance analysis so hopefully it will give us further information on the state of the PC version.

    Further to the above, Digital Foundry just released their analysis, and unfortunately it corresponds with my experience with the PC version of the game. Here is the link: https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2023-star-wars-jedi-survivor-on-pc-is-still-the-worst-triple-a-pc-port-of-2023

    For the record, I have also encountered the other problems mentioned in the analysis aside from stuttering issues, namely freezing when entering cutscenes, weird white flashes at the edges of the screen when turning the camera and broken UI elements when using frame generation. I really hope that these issues get resolved in future patches, as I understand that there is a really great game underneath all these technical issues and, quite frankly, I think that both the game and the gamers deserve better than this.
