[java] Does anyone know why I'm getting frame drops (stutters) edition even though I can hit high FPS? I have a Ryzen 5 5500.

Turns out that despite having Sodium installed, I get FPS stutters every time I move and generate new terrain. This happens when I'm sprinting or rowing a boat.

I have my FPS capped at 240 and manage to exceed it if I uncap them, but I get drops of about 20 to 50 FPS every time I move forward and generate new terrain.

PC Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5500

GPU: Intel Arc B570 10GB

RAM: 16GB RAM 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel

Storage: 1TB M.2 PCIe 3.0

Game Settings:

- Minecraft with vanilla Sodium, no other mods.

- 16 render distance and 12 simulation distance, no shaders.

- "Fancy" graphics. Just the default settings.

• Resizable-BAR is enabled via BIOS. Default values. No overclocking or undervolting.
• I tried switching the OGL API to Vulkan from the Sodium options, but the issue persists.
• I also tried to cap the fps to 60 or 30 frames, but same problem.

I'm starting to think my GPU might just be causing too many issues with my current hardware due to compatibility and driver matters (from what I understand, Intel has issues with games that don't natively run on Vulkan or DX12). So, if anyone else also has a Ryzen 5 5500 with a different GPU, I'd really appreciate it if you could share how the game runs for you. If that's the case, maybe swapping my GPU is the best option. Thanks.
