Random crash to desktop\NVIDIA driver crash and FPS Stuttering during play. (WITH POSSIBLE FIX!)
Ever since Renegade came out I was having issues on my PC regarding performance.
Momentary stutters and FPS drops (From ~100 fps down to <20 for approx. .5 - 1 second at a time), usually reaching a crescendo by eventually killing the GPU driver.
However, I think I found the culprit on my system and have been enjoying silky smooth, non-crashing gameplay for a few days now.
On my system, despite it being disabled, the OS was still trying to make API calls to 'Windows.Gaming.GameBar.PresenceServer.Internal.PresenceWriter', which is disabled on my system, and that failed call would reach an instruction timeout and reboot the graphics driver causing whatever game was making the call to crash.
How I circumvented this on my system was to uninistall the XBOX game bar completely using command line. This removed all components of the XBOX gamebar. Then I found 'Windows.Gaming.GameBar.PresenceServer.Internal.PresenceWriter' in my Registry and set it from 1 to 0 (disabling it at the Registry level).
Since performing these steps, I've noticed my system overall has a lower CPU load and runs everything smoother\faster\with no stuttering FPS.
Your mileage may vary, everyone's system is different, but this so far has been a paneceum for the issues I've been having with Destiny 2.

Good effort m8. Unfortunately it doesn't help for me. I still get stutter. If you ask me, it seems more like an asset loading problem, because those stutters are erratic. But when it happens it is more like a framepacing problem. In the end it's super annoying. I call: Until Marathon we wont get any support for the PC port of Destiny 2, and then we will see if Marathon has the same problem (which runs on the same inhouse engine) Probably not. Destiny 2 is dying anyway ;) And I am honest, those stutter are the main reason why I don't play it anymore on a regular basis. Good job Bungie letting the game die.
