Question Rust Dropping Frames/Stuttering with High End PC

[DonnyDonutty]

Hello I recently started experiencing frame drops/stutters on the server ive been playing on for the past week or so. It seems like every 5-10 seconds the game stutters slightly and the frames drop anywhere from 10-25 frames for that split moment, and then it goes back to normal. Other than that I dont have any performance issues and get high FPS (144+), but I usually limit it to 144 as my monitor is 2k at 144 hz. For reference my PC specs are as follows 4090, 7800 X3D, Asus Rog Strix 670, 32GB of Corsair DDR5-6000 CL 30 running at 6000mhz, and a PCIE Gen 5 4TB M.2 SSD. I have tried tons of optimization guide on YouTube without success and also browsed other help forums for fixes without success.
