My cfg:MSI GTX 970 GamingIntel Core i7-47908gb RAMLatest nvidia driver 388.13Will be a patch with optimization?

So I was looking through their tweets on twitter and they responded to a person that was talking about textures not loading and things and they said that they are working on a patch to improve performance so hopefully that means it will help the stutters and hopefully it will come out soon.

As title says, anyone at EA that can tell if the stuttering issues some/alot of people are having are being looked at? The stutters are so bad that its basically unplayable, been running the Mountain Run race for testing and massive stutters happens just before the gas station thats in the race, at the 1,8km left mark then the last 1km of the race is so stuttery that it affects the carhandling. I so hope this will get hotfixed sooner rather than later or that someone have found a magical workaround this issue cause everything I've tried so far has not worked at all :/Adding the dxdiag too.EDIT: Forgot to add that the Side Bet menu is also so much laggier than the game, that a pointer to what could be wrong?

@LurkerYunOk so I think I found the main culprit for the very heavy stuttering. It is Ambient Occlusion... of all the things. It does something with soft shadows and the HBAO, AOA and AOA Full completely destroy my playing experience. SSAO is pretty much perfect, I get microsecond stutters from time to time, but those look more like lag that actual stutter. I would not suggest using OFF, there is not much difference in terms of performance and it completely removes soft shadows, making many things look... strange.Anti-Aliasing change between FXAA and TAA did some minor changes as well, but it looked not to affect stuttering, simply FPS and therefore lag in places where there was more to render.There is no difference in terms of performance between All Settings at LOW and All Settings at HIGH. And almost no difference in terms of quality HIGH compared to ULTRA, but there is a slight performance drop.So what I would suggest to try is:Everything HIGHFullscreen ONVertical Sync OFFMotion Blur OFFAmbient Occlusion SSAOAnti-Aliasing TAADriver 388.13.See if that makes the game playable for you.Please note though that my test only involved the first minute of the DB11 mission until the end of first speedtrap/zone.

This trial is supposed to make you want the game, not the opposite! There is stuttering on all resolutions that is just an indication of a bad port. I like the storyline but I'm probably not going to buy it or pre-order it thanks to this trial. I've got a 1080ti, have the game on an ssd, running ryzen 1700 oc 4ghz. This game gives me stutters all over the place every 1-2 minutes. The cpu and gpu utilization is haphazard at best.

Hey all, New patch today. Can you let us know if you see improvements with FPS? Tagging some people for visibility @WindirKvitrafn @Sallivation @Etny2k @Sorum13 @dekaiev Thanks, - Andy -

The game have a really bad optimization I have a GTX 1080, 16 gb RAM, and a Ryzen 7 1700 OC to 3.8 ( Latest NVIDIA drivers). and the FPS drops are insane, plus the CPU used is 50-60 % with a GPU used 60-70 % ???? WTF come on EA fix this game......

Hi,
I played the trial for about 1 hour and the game suffers from frequent micro stutters, both in free roam and during races. I have the latest NVIDIA drivers available.
i7 6700K 4.4 Ghz
32 GB RAM
GTX 1070
I even tested the game using MSI Afterburner - it uses roughly 70% of the GPU and 40-50% of the CPU in the NVIDIA optimal power settings - when I set it to maximum performance the GPU usage drops to 50%, but the stutters are still there.

I have the exactly same problem on an 1080ti. It is unplayable because I hate micro stutters.
The FPS is fixed on 60, the card uses only an average of 50%. They need to fix it.
Do you think rolling back the drive from Nvidia would fix it?
I also noticed the game using more than 10gb of ram memory. Maybe memory leak?

Could be worth a try, but I doubt this will help. Seems like an issue with the game itself.
I will move it to SSD to see if that helps, I have it on HDD now.

Technically the game doesn't even launched officially yet,just give them some time to fix this. And stop complaining like it was a insane stop every minute,it's a micro stutter of 1 second every 5-6 minutes,it's completely playable. It's the first driver for the game and (I already said that) the game isn't even officially out yet,so just wait

Well, I'm with stuttering in any config (Ultra, high and medium), I don't know if the problem are in a new driver 388.13 or in the game same, and the game don't exit, black screen and nothing happens, so I uses the task manager to finish him.
My new PC is: Ryzen 5 1600, 8 GB 2666 CL16 Dual Channel, GTX 970, 1tb HDD, AB350M.

Sad to see others facing the same issue, but it's also good to know I'm not alone.

As if I was needing for something else to drive me away from the game...
Edit: Completely unrelated, Danjuhas, I've seen you strongly trying to defend the game from other people's points of view on a couple threads. You don't need to come into tech support forums to do the same thing. This is not about personal preferences, this is about the software's flawed performance, I'm intrigued on the reasons driving your every post in defense of the game. Just curious, no offense intended.
