4GB is not enough

Dynamic memory is system RAM being used because you don't have enough VRAM.

not quite, there is always dynamic being used. Right now in this forum and a small game to the side I am using 249 dedicated and 34 dynamic. So 150 isn't necessarily spill over nor an indication the ram is full when the value is that low.
 
I'm sitting at 996mb dedicated and 398 dynamic with 40 or so tabs open in Firefox, Chrome, Brave, and Edge. I own Just Cause 3. After my doctor's appointment today, I'll fire it up and see how it runs.
 
OP, this may sound stupid and unrelated but what windows are you running and are you using a xb360 controller?
I have been running into issues like this on my W10 IP. there is something screwed up with the xb360 drivers causing issues like you are describing. games play fine for 15-20 minutes and then become a horrible stutterfest. if you stand still FPS is fine, 60+ but move the thumb sticks and it drops to 15-20 FPS. if you are using a xb360 controller, try rolling back your drivers. if not, idk... you have DDU'd and installed newest 16.4s?

edit: with only IE open with 11 tabs, I'm using 740mb dedicated and 57mb dynamic
 
Windows 10, no controllers, although I do want to get one

That screenshot was from LOW texture quality, BTW. I will do another log with med/high later.
 
HBM can use dynamic memory very well because it's latency is low and bandwidth is high, it allows HBM to act as cache rather than normal asset storage vram that we are used to. 4GB Fury X is very capable even at 4K due to this, but not R290/X, it will have major stutter when games demand more than 4GB.

We can see this in Rise of the Tomb Raider as well, where the 970 is known to stutter with maxed settings and V.High textures even at 1080p.
 
Maybe try limiting Tess to 8x in crimson software and lower shadows a bit. Then see if you can bring textures back up. I've been playing other games that totally max my 3Gb and use 2-2.5 GB of dynamic and don't see stuttering like what you're describing.
Maybe if you haven't tried yet, DDU and install the newest 16.4.1 drivers.
