Stuttering on new GTX 1080
I recently bought a GTX 1080 (upgraded from AMD 280x) and I'm having trouble getting this game to run without hitching/stuttering. I've tried most of the tweaks from the compendium (those that apply to Nvidia users) and other suggestions found on other forums and I still can't get things running well. The game stutters just when I approach NPCs. Towns and cities seem to make the issue worse. I'm running everything at their max settings at 1080p (Fullscreen setting). Here's what my system specs are:
i5 2500k at 4.4GHz
GTX 1080
16gb of RAM
Windows 7
Western Digital 1TB 7200 RPM drive
Antec 750W High Current Gamer Series
I've had no issues with other games. This has gotten to be rather frustrating because I really enjoy The Witcher games. I did drop the resolution down to 720p and that seemed to get rid of the stutter. But it looks like a blurry mess on the monitor since it's native 1080p. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
