[SOLVED] Rust is a stuttery mess

[tylerd120]

Specs:

e5 1650 v1 (3930k)
gtx 1070 ti
16gb ram
crucial mx500 120gb ssd
graphics driver: 430.86

After a few months of not playing rust, I fired it up again recently. Performance was AWFUL from the start. I dropped all graphics settings to minimum and it didn't change. Whenever I move the mouse I get massive stutters, even when rtss shows over 60 fps. cpu and gpu usage is both under 40%, less than 12gb ram usage with no background tasks open (Task manager showed 4.5gb free) and only 3.6gb vram usage. Latest drivers are installed. Game is on an ssd. Any Ideas? Thanks.

Stutters like frame skip or screen tearing?

Have you checked your mouse for dust?

More like frame skipping. For some reason, however, it recently started working. I have no idea why. Also, I don't think it was my mouse, because everything else I did with my mouse seemed fluid.
