I've been enjoying Death Stranding 2 on my GTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 1700x with 32 GB of RAM, but recently I've started to experience stuttering after around 70 hours of gameplay. It feels like my CPU might be bottlenecking, but I'm not really sure why this issue is cropping up now. Is there anything I can try to fix this before I end up replacing my CPU?

Check your GPU usage while playing. If it drops below 90%, that's a sign of CPU bottlenecking. The Ryzen 7 1700x isn't as powerful as the CPU in the consoles, so upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5600x could really boost your performance. Just a thought!
I actually meant to say Ryzen 7, not 5, but I guess the upgrade suggestion still stands!
