Regular stutter every second (The Escapists 2, Core Keeper)

Hello everyone ! Sorry for the repost forgot the benchmark. You can see my config at the end of that post.

I have an annoying bug and I can’t find a similar problem on the internet. Lemme describe it :

I have a stutter I’ve seen in two games : The Escapists 2 on GoG and Core Keeper on Steam, idk what they have in common except being "pixel art games". It’s a stutter that happens every second and never stops until I reboot my computer and it starts again after 10/15min of gaming. It always have the same rythm, perfectly regular, it skips a couple of frames every second. I don’t have stuttering problems in 3D games (Cyberpunk, OW, Return to Moria, Enshrouded for examples). I play with an xbox controller in bluetooth.

I updated my gpu and cpu drivers, changed the graphics settings (windowed, v-sync, etc), deactivating the overlays and I’m out of idea on how to fix that.

I wanted to attach a recording I took with my phone trying to show you the stutter but I can’t post videos here. I’m hoping someone somewhere got the same problem and found a solution I didn’t.

Thanks in advance!

PS: lemme know if you have questions and sorry if it’s unclear english isn’t my mother tongue.

EDIT: the benchmark as requested sorry about that. I have a lenovo legion pro 7, 16"
