Method #1 — Disable DLSS:
While DLSS has been one of the most anticipated features in Death Stranding, for many users, it has been causing stutters. If your computer meets the recommended requirements for the games and you still encounter stutters, you may want to disable DLSS to avoid it. It will reduce the details and textures of the game, but it may resolve the stutters as well. However, this is only if you are using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU. If you’re not, DLSS isn’t the one causing the stutters. You can disable DLSS from the in-game graphics settings; you can also change the extent of DLSS from the settings.
