Stutter/FPS Drops

Hello everyone!

I have contacted the support about 6 months ago. Although they were very friendly they couldn't help me solve the problem. I also feel that maybe I have failed to explain the problem well enough.

Anyway I have made a short video capturing the problem. With NPCs on screen the game just turns into full retard mode. The more NPCs on screen - the worse it gets. I will not bother mentioning that it gets even worse in combat.

When the game first came out it ran absolutely fine. I completed the main story line. Now that I want to replay the game along with all DLCs I just can't. It's stuttering so much it that it is truly unplayable.

I have tried (I think) ALL of the stuttering fixes available on the internet and they just do not work. Min/Max settings, disabling telemetry, tweaking nVidia 3D Settings, updating drivers, reinstalling and so on. I've tried so many thing that I can't even remember them all.

I am running on a Intel i7, GTX980, 32GB RAM, SSD (the game is on SSD as well)

Here is a link to the video (I am not sure the embed will work): https://youtu.be/XOO4njqZOXk

 

Please help! I can't even refund it probably, yet I can't even play the content I paid for like all the DLC.

I'm willing to bet it has something to do with you having an i7.I have a 9900k and experience the very same issue from the start on the beach.Jittery camera movement/stutter.I opened the task manager>details>game.exe>affinity and disable every 2nd core like 1,3,5,7, and etc.... after that if you still experience  either jutter/stutter  disable 1 more core and repeated till its smooth again.I had to lower the game to only use 3 cores to somewhat fix it from my whole 16.Crazy.

 

Video of the issue with pillars of eternity for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J1Pk-A4Y10&feature=youtu.be Stil stutters sadly after disabling the cores but I think it's the game tbh but the frames are better.

Well... It didn't help unfortunately... Looks like I'll need to build an ATi/AMD rig to play if hardware is the issue.
