red dead redemption 2 started micro stuttering after updating to the latest driver (6600xt)

I was testing AFMF2 on rdr2 after updating my drivers (25.2.1) when I noticed my game is micro stuttering even after disabling AFMF2 and setting everything back to what it was (AMD tracking overlay reports over 50% Micro Stutter) this wasn't happening before and I have narrowed down that this issue was introduced with the latest driver update after trying many fixes like:

- setting a minimum GPU clock speed.

- disabling vsync, triple frame buffering, anything of the sort on AMD adrenaline side too.

- setting everything to default, no difference.

- checking my monitor settings and cable.

- I tried other games and there were no issues whatsoever, this seems to be exclusive to rdr2.

I scoured the web to try and find a fix to this with no success. I spent some time re-enabling SAM because updating drivers still disables that (thanks AMD, still waiting on a fix for that too). now I don't expect anyone to be able to help me as of now but I just want to know if I'm not the only one with this issue, maybe someone will reply with a solution 3 years from now (you know... reddit).
