    Hey guys, I actually found out what was my issue.  I am absolutely dumbfounded what is is.  In my Nvidia control panel I turned Shader Cache to On, and it completely fixed the game for me.  I have never seen such a difference using shader cache before until today.  I typically turn that off but for some reason I left it on and the game was butter smooth.  This reduced my CPU usage SUBSTANTIALLY, main menu is normally around 90%-100% and after this it drops down to 30%-60%.  The game doesn't freak out whenever anything new is loaded anymore, and I can actually play it now.  I hope this can help others, although it's enabled by default so I fear most will already have it on.  Either way it doesn't hurt to try!
