    As you have the correct and most recent public drivers this certainly shouldn't be an issue. 

    Test with and without v-sync, in the Nvidia control panel, select "application controlled" on 3D settings and you can force v-sync on/off there.

    Also check sound quality and lastly, lower the graphical fidelity/resolution?

    Gonna need a bit more information than that pal.

    Operating System?

    Are you SLI?

    When does it drop? i.e. when combat starts/action sequences?

    Current nVidia Driver?

    Also, this game is quite "sound heavy". So may put sound quality to "low" if that's possible if you are using an onboard sound card (built into mobo).

    When you've got more info, come back and we'll see if we can get to the bottom of it.

    Try going to nVidia Control Panel, 3D Setttings

    Default them  (may want to drag Power Profile to Max)

    Do not re-run GeForce Experience before testing.

    Test the game.

    Try Fullscreen vs Borderless-Full

    Disable any overlay programs (fraps, rivia tuner, overwolf).  These interfere with Origin in Game and usually result in terrible performance.

    Is NVidia SLI a known issue with this game?  I had terrible performance while running dual GTX 760s in SLI (so laggy game was unplayable). On a whim I disabled SLI and that TOTALLY fixed the problem. I have never had SLI interfere with any program I've ever run before.

    thanks.
