Stuck at 40FPS

[Fingurs]

Hello -

I have a fairly uber PC build. I have read several donze threads on here with suggestions. Unfortunately the one about performance from the FAQ thread will not load for me, so not sure if archived. I have set my FPS to 60 as suggested, which initially improved my performance.

Currently I still get hitching especially when I turn quickly. Additionally, I cannot get to 60FPS, it hovers around 39 40 still, and 20s when moving rapidly.

When I try and dig up information on which settings to have on/off, there have been a lot of different opinions. Most have not netted me any changes.

I play in windowed mode. 2550x1440. (note, when I changed this, it was still the same)

Here are my questions:

1. What kind of FPS should I realistically expect in this game? Best case scenario. Is 40 about right?

2. Is the hitching when turning quickly still a thing even with good performance?

3. What are some obvious things I should have turned off?

Thanks.
