sorry have to add this, have you heard or an application called Razer Cortex?
it optimizes game, will increase fps at the same time disabling applications not necessary to gaming.
just google search [ Razer Cortex]
if your net connection is slow, there are programs that will also optimize your connection as well.
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to object to that suggestion.
1. The OP's issue has been solved via rolling back to a older driver due to the buggy new drivers, it was not an issue of optimization
2. Programs like Razer Cortex and others (such as Nvidia GeForce Experience), do not optimize games correctly. Back on my last GPU, the GTX 760, it was telling me that my "optimal" settings were Ultra, which is far from what they were. Yes the 760 could handle Ultra settings, but barely. Had low FPS and fluctuated very frequently. Those programs do not optimize correctly.
The OP's issue has been solved, and they no longer need to do anything.
