You are welcome.
Running a GPU monitoring app can be very informative. This will allow you to check CPU/GPU usage, temperatures, FPS max/min/average etc. and may help you focus your tweaking. Not awe inspiring but at least you can get some hard data to work with. 🙂
Oh, and there is a new nvidia driver set available so check that out too.
I have had worse advice bud , lol . Some of which i cant repeat on a public board .So your advice being good is inspiring on some level right lol 😛
So here is 2 shots of max readings via GPU-Z when i m driving around Legends Wheel race area.. The one by the Police station and fuel station location as i said before. It constantly drops to 45 fps minimum and it hovers around 48 50 fps just doing circles at that intersection. Drive a bit further and again all is good and fps shoots back to a solid 60fps . My i7 4770k shows high peaks ( other shot from task manager) but there is certainly head room. GPU usage when in that spot in game as you can see is 98% . I monitor it all via MSI on my Logitech G510 key board lcd screen in real time. GPU-Z shows that its using the card but the game struggles to hold 50fps always in that area and a few others. Plus again stuttering. I haven't tried the new driver 378.92 as i just dont think its driver related. I have tried 3 different drivers with the same results. I mean yea , it is a very small possibility the new driver could fix it but 3 other drivers didn't so who knows right. Its just odd that NFS is the only game that doesn't play well with this card. Kind in mind when i was using my gtx 780 ti it did drop but the stutter was never there as much as it is now. As i squint and look upward deep in thought puffing on my bubble pipe i just cant make sense of it. What is making it drop so bad at those certain i game areas ?
cpu usage at that spot in game.

Hitting a min of 45FPS at 2560×1600 is not so bad, I don't think anything is wrong or broken with your setup or the game. I suggest playing around with the in-game graphics quality setting to find what raises your min framerate the most while not impacting visual quality too much. There are tons of performance related articles/videos online and personally I enjoy nerding out on DigitalFoundry and the like.

No way man, 😃 we will have to agree to disagree on that one.
Having the game run at 45fps in areas with a gtx 1080 is like having a 500hp Ferrari that only does 20mph max going down hill.
Every other game maxed ( all 46 of them ) are 60 fps pegged at the same resolution and some with all dues respect like Crysis 3 is way more demanding in all categories.
I have seen videos on YouTube showing the same issues im having. One person on the PS4 had the game running slow and stutter the same way my does in those areas. (Link below). Other as well but some turned off Origin in game and deleted the config file and it fixed them right up.Me not so much, but then again i couldn't win a free bag of chips if my life depended on it so....bad luck to left of me , bad luck to the right of me.
I will definitely research the problem on those sites you mentioned and see if i cant crack this " insoluble recondite complication ".
Yes, yes i did go to college, thank you for noticing 🤓 Till then I will keep you posted man thanks . ttyl

Well got to the clean boot process and that didn't change a thing.☹️
I took a screen shot of all processes left running in clean boot when i tried the game again.
Nothing but windows main system processes running and it still stutters and runs low frames in the same areas.At this point I am thinking It has to be the game . I maybe didn't notice it as much with the gtx 780 ti because i couldn't get to 50 in those areas anyways but with the gtx 1080 boy does it show up now. Not hating on you my friend in anyway on this. Its EA that has my " not impressed gaze" lock on them. I know others have had the issue and i have seen the consoles in a few case suffer from it as well. Like i say im out of ideas at this point. Im going to keep at it if i think of any other possibility but until then its a sucky deal this game doesn't run full 60fps. I dont see anything on this list that shouldn't be running or that would cause this issue so im lost.
off topic i did check out DigitalFoundry , enjoyed the look back on the various blaster master editions. Ah yes m the good ol days of the NES. My gamer beginnings.
