Bad stuttering with latest Nvidia Driver

I have been playing NFS 2015 on an outdated driver and had poor framerates, so I updated to the Nvidia 364.72 driver through Geforce Experience. The new driver drastically increased my framerates, now being able to play at max settings with a consistent 60fps. However with the better optimization the driver has, it has also introduced severe stuttering to the point the game is unplayable. It has also seemed to introduce a bit of texture popping with chrome decals when editing wraps. I was wondering if this issue has been addressed already and if so, should I revert back to an earlier driver?

System Specs:

Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 Motherboard

AMD FX-4100 Quad Core @ 4.7Ghz

x2 EVGA GTX 660 Superclocked 2GB in SLI

Corsair Vengeance  24GB DDR3  Dual Channel Memory

Windows 7 Ultimate

Nvidia Driver 364.72

Nvidia Geforce Experience version 2.11.2.55

    I recently upgraded to Nvidia driver 365.10 and I was still stuttering. I had also disabled Origin in-game and repaired the game from my library. I decided to try disabling SLI in my Nvidia Control Panel and while this did reduce my framerate drastically, the stuttering stopped completely. Could it be an issue with the SLI profile?

    Same thing here. Core i5 3570k@3.8 GHz, 2xGTX660 SLI, 8 GB RAM, SSD. Average FPS is about 35, but it drops frequently to about 20, also there's a stuttering, especially in speedy turns. When SLI is disabled the game runs more smoothly, although FPS is much lower. Win10, driver ver. 365.10.
