Bg3 experiences occasional stuttering in certain areas, which I’d describe as significant CPU strain—many corpses, people, and objects causing the issue. In other regions, there are no stutters or very occasional ones. Additionally, cb2077 runs smoothly without any stuttering.

Also recalling Metro Exodus, it was extremely unstable, freezing constantly and crashing at any setting.

Regarding Bg3:
My main concern right now is a CPU bottleneck. At 1080p, the GPU never reaches full capacity, but at 2160p DLSS quality it drops between 80-90% usage. From a CPU bottleneck perspective, I’m puzzled as to why the game stutters at 2160p native—no GPU usage drops were observed. To note, across all resolutions I see roughly the same 1% and 0.1% variance.

Here’s a hwinfo64 log:

I ran a driver update, rolled back the motherboard BIOS, enabled DOCP, turned it off, used OC/no OC, capped the GPU clock at around 1700, reinstalled Windows, tried Vulcan/DirectX11, reassembled the PC, experimented with different slots, ran OC-VRAM tests, and MemTest86 didn’t finish in about 5 hours. So far, nothing resolved the issue.

Your specs looked fine until you got this; vinga vps gv2 850w. How old is the PSU in your build?

Psu is brand new but not very reliable. I rolled back the BIOS because I wanted to remove all potential reasons for stutter. I can't afford to buy a new CPU right now, just to test it. I'm currently using 3002 with the latest BIOS.
