FPS drops on gtx 970. Patch?

@radicchix yeah I know what you mean :/ Literally built a new PC last week with the whole goal to play the new games without problems, especially my favorites, and I feel kinda cheated by Ghost Games or EA in this case. I mean if you check recorded videos from Playstation and XBOX the game stutters even there, so even the base game the PC port is based on isn't up to code apparently. 
Which sucks, because I LOVE Need for Speed. I grew up on NFS Hot Pursuit (the first one) and NFS Porsche Unleashed 2000 and stuff, they were amazing. And then the NFS Underground series came and it became my favorite racing series. In the past few years with the Criterion Games the quality has been subpar, focusing more on gimmicks rather than good driving and a good reason to drive (a good story), but with NFS 2015 Ghost Games was bringing it back to the golden old days. Physics were kinda wonky in that one but I still loved it, amazing graphics and amazing car customization. Then NFS Payback comes out with lesser graphics (still good looking but The Crew 2 and Forza Horizon 3, both similar open world games, look better :/) Soundwise the game is awesome, they really know how to nail that, and while I absolutely hate the new card system to upgrade your car's engine and such (like why go the way The Crew did it when NFS 2015 had a great engine upgrade system), I still want to play this game as the story at least intrigues me and I love the updated physics they put in.
