Running the game with a 980 ti w/ an i7-4790k @ 1080p res 60 hz. The game gets 60 fps at the highest settings, including msaax4, but everytime i start walking to different locations and go into battle I always have these small stutters/frame skipping/frame drops in cities happening every 20 sec. or so, even with msaa off and all of the settings at high or medium. Tried to ignore it but I eventually said "This has to be fixed" after 20 or so hrs into the game. After many MANY different fixes I followed through the net, I eventually decided to find my own fix when every one of them failed to eliminate the stuttering completely. After a long while, I finally did something that gives me stable 60 fps at the highest settings regardless of my location and a few tweaking with AA and vsync (even redcliffe village).
Before I get started with the fix, it's VERY important that you disable the in-game origin overlay. It cripples performance regardless of how powerful a rig is. It's all over the net if you google it, but I'll tell you how to here anyway so you wont have to:
-Go to your games in origin, find DA inquisition and right-click. Click on properties and check the box that basically says to disable it, and that's it.
Next, before going to the fix, go to the graphical settings in-game. Your focus is only the anti aliasing (both msaa and post processing) and the display. Turn off BOTH AA settings, and make sure your running the game fullscreen. After doing so, exit out of the game.
Finally, go to the Nvidia control panel and make the following changes in the DA inquisition application via the manage 3d settings:
FXAA-On
Triple buffering-On
Vsync-On
Power management mode-prefer maximum performance.
And that's really it for the NVCP. I tried turning on triple buffering only before doing this, but that only reduced the stuttering rather than actually make it disappear for good. Combining it with vsync along with forced fxaa did the job.
Next, once you go in-game, you also want to make sure that vsync is also on as well. I know this sounds weird since vsync is already forced through the NVCP, but I got very small but noticeable stutters with vsync off. Turning it on strangely did the trick.
Also, and this is completely optional, but if you want to get even more stable fps with 0 stutters whatsoever, not even 0.0001 stutters, then you can also turn post processing quality down to low, which is basically motion blur/depth of field. This setting is somewhat demanding for some reason, and me turning it off gives me 0 lag, stuttering and frame drops (after doing the fix of course).
Before I close, its also worth noting that the games very cpu-heavy, so try to turn off as many backround processes as possible. I strangely found out that leaving steam open as a backround process gave me some minor frame drops, so closing it reduced it. What eliminated those frame drops was when I uninstalled GeForce experience completely, another strange factor :/ Anyway, hope this helps.
