Stuttering Issues in Dragon Age: Inquisition

In all honesty a lot of people are having performance issues regardless of system specs.   You will need to tweak your game, really minimize what your background processes are, and find a reasonable combo in settings to play.

There are a bunch of potential fixes on the forums however there is no right answer other than what will work specifically for your setup.

Bioware is hopefully releasing performance patch(es) soon, but rather than wait on that keep tweaking your settings.  Also don't use the 60 FPS command line trick, that can create even more performance issues.  Try a program like Razer Cortex and "boost" your game... meaning it will basically recommend or allow you to manually choose what processes to shut off with the push of a button.   Play in full screen, remove V Sync, you can basically put everything on Medium and keep MXAA off, keeping SSAO instead and Textures/Mesh both Ultra+ and the game will still look great and play well.

I was playing with everything maxed out but have tested every single setting on and off in many different combos and found this to be a good way to increase performance while keeping the game looking good.  You don't really even need Shadows on Medium but the difference in performance between Medium and low for Shadows seems to be minimal.

Also if you make a lot of saves, start backing them up and keeping them to a minimum.. I noticed clearing out my saves every so often has improved performance for me.  If you have things auto-updating, firewall, anti-virus, etc.. these can all slow down your game big time and many of them don't actually turn off even if you do not see the program running in Task Manager which is strange... you have to literally disable them from their own respective menus.

Also use CCleaner to give a slight boost (sometimes more than slight) to your system and make sure your power settings are for maximum performance.

If you use NVidia Control Panel make sure not to have conflicting settings there and what you want in the game.  Also if you have an onboard graphics card as well, go into NVidia Control Panel and choose Performance for everything (other than AA) and make sure the game is set to use your NVidia graphics card.  I know it sounds like a lot but there are many things that you can do to get the game to run "good enough" until there are some real fixes.

I also have used a crack on my game.  I wouldn't recommend it unless you know exactly what you are doing since there are fake ones out there as well.   But it seems the DRM bogs down the performance and I saw a significant improvement since bypassing the DRM checks.  I didn't want to do that, but I paid for my game and if it improves the game performance (and also removed an issue which made the game unable to launch as people discuss in another thread) then of course it is worth it at that point.

Again don't use a crack if you are not confident that you know what you are doing, but if you do decide to at least research it heavily and try all of the other things I suggested first.  The legit ones show up as viruses (which they are not) and so do the non-legit ones (which they are).... that is why I say you need to know what you are doing before considering a crack.   But tweaking my system was enough to get the game running good enough for me with still great looking graphics, however I had the unplayable issue 100 hours into the game and that was the only thing that worked to make the game launch again.
