Bad FPS and stutter on high-end system on anything but "auto-detect" settings

Hello.

I have a problem with Witcher 2 (Enhanced Edition). The game runs badly if I change the settings in the launcher to anything else than what the "auto detect" button has configured. If I keep these settings, everything is fine. I get 60FPS with vsync, and 80FPS if I disable vsync in the nvidia control panel.

But if I change anything in the settings, then the game drops to 47FPS and it stutters. It doesn't matter what I change. I can even decrease a setting, like lowering shadow quality or disabling motion blur, or simply disable vsync. Whatever I change, it stutters. Even if I click on "auto detect", then change a setting and then change it back, it will stutter! Even though all settings are exactly the same as the ones the "auto detect" button configured.

For example, if I click "auto detect", then change vsync to "disabled" and then back to "enabled", the game will run at 47FPS.

This has to be a bug, and I'm not able to find any workaround :( I really want to disable the depth of field during gameplay and the motion blur and also enable ubersampling, but if I touch the settings, the game stutters and performance drops badly.

My system:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Core i5 2500K@4.2GHz
GTX 980 Ti
16GB RAM
