Fixing Ryzen 7 7800X3D cache scheduling glitches?

Whenever I flick the camera quickly in tight corridors, there's this micro-stutter that completely ruins the stealth pacing. The 7800X3D should be a beast, but it felt like the core scheduling was tripping over itself, creating a 15-20ms delay between P-Core and E-Core logic. I tried lowering shadow quality first, which gained me a measly 5 FPS but didn't touch the stuttering—totally useless. I ended up wiping all old drivers and installing the latest AMD Chipset Driver v6.10, then forced the game process to 'High' priority in Task Manager. Looking at the RivaTuner frame time graph, those jagged spikes finally flattened out, and my 1% lows jumped from 42 FPS to a much healthier 68-75 FPS. I did have a weird issue where my audio cut out right after the driver update, but a quick reinstall of the sound drivers cleared it up. CPU temps are chilling at 62-70℃ and memory is holding steady at 58-63℃. It's finally playable, though the driver install process was a tedious chore.
