@kizmiazz7 I only had a little time to test tonight, but didn't see any issues with lag in cutscenes. On the other hand, I only played up to where Shepard first lands on Eden Prime, and I won't have time to get much farther in-game. So if you have a save from just before one of the cutscenes you know lagged, I'd love to borrow a copy and test that, just for comparsion.
You could also try running the game only on the Pro 560, no eGPU, at least long enough to get through a cutscene. While it wouldn't be ideal, it's certainly a workaround if you find yourself repeatedly dying because a cutscene is running at half speed. By the way, playing at 1920x1200, my fps was mostly 44-48 on Eden Prime, a consistent 60 on the Normandy (I did have v-sync on by default at that point), and locked at 30 in cutscenes, which is eminently playable if not the lovely >100 fps you're getting otherwise.
On the other hand, if the cutscenes still lag for you, that means we need to look elsewhere, so it's also useful information.
@kizmiazz7 Sorry for the late reply; I kind of lost track of this thread. I'm curious whether the same thing would happen on my system, but I haven't progressed that far into the game, and I won't get to it for a while at least. Do you have a save I could borrow to test? It doesn't need to be from immediately before an affected cutscene, just close enough that it wouldn't take me two hours to get there.
If not, I'll try to find someone else with a save I can borrow, although the one person I've asked so far hasn't had that much time to play either.
Hi @puzzlezaddict, if @kizmiazz7 has the same issue as me (which seems to be the case, see here), the issue affects all loading screens, so you should see it immediately if you're using an eGPU.
