Performance degradation at the end of every stage on Radeon GPUs

Hello. I have this issue where at the very end of every stage I tried my GPU usage goes down significantly, and performance drops from the usual 90-100 FPS, to 50-70 FPS. When reversing back before that "point" where performance drops, it goes to normal again. Passing that "point" again causes the performance to drop again. It has been reported here previously, but I'd like to give it more attention as I just got the game, I actually would enjoy it more than I thought, but this is bothering me very much.

Thorough demonstration from another community member here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=shared&v=HOsdUWXfVzs

Seems to be AMD Radeon specific. My specs are:

Ryzen 5 5600X

Radeon RX 7800 XT

16 GB RAM

    bumping this since it's still a big problem as of version 1.8 and effectively breaks VR, limiting affected systems to ultra low settings in an attempt to maintain consistency nearing the end of stages.

    made multiple posts about it in this thread:

    It does appear to be just about every stage and game mode, though some stages it starts earlier, say in 2nd last sector, others right near the end of final sector.

  • With 7900 XT I haven't had that problem. Thou my issues are with 24.X.X FSR and sharpness and fluidity.

    I'm having this problem in VR with my 2080 Super and 5800x3d. But strangely only when I play Solo Quickplay, not in Clubs. I have some early stage freezes in Clubs, but those go away in couple of seconds. But yeah, this constant stuttering happens on the end of the stages in Quickplay.

  • Same problem for me since purchasing the game almost year ago. Happens regardless of graphic settings and hardware used. Makes terrible experience when trying to nail the stage and in the end there is stuttering making it unplayable
