Issues fixed

Using too much VRAM will lead to consistent frametime spikes

Frametimes will spike at consistent times when VRAM usage is too high / over your GPUs vram.

Workaround: Set Video Memory Scale to something lower depending on your GPU VRAM. Suggest 0.7. Also turn off GPU hardware acceleration in Discord, Steam, Battle.net to decrease VRAM usage in the background
