That seems odd. Unfortunately the game is early access so I haven't read about any problems with NVIDIA cards yet. I would be checking the forums and seeing if anyone else is reporting frame rate drops but it seems like reviewers haven't ran into a problem.

Oh, cool!
I was thinking I had to get a new cpu, or gpu (which I am anyway). But, just a new gpu means I dont have to get a whole new system.
Thanks for the info, yet again Sajin.

Yeah, this video card has been doing the same thing in every other game also. Thats my problem: It goes from great fps and DROPS to like 30fps for no apparent reason, then goes back up. Even in old games this happens.
But, with Shadow, it is like 10x worse, as it seems to be dropping frames while its doing it, like dropping 30 frames at once then recovering, where other games the drop seems way less, like maybe dropping 3 frames then refreshing.
I am hoping a reboot, or some monthly cleaning of the system and video card, will help it out a bit more and make it not so much of a siezure, and instead a mild sneeze.

Well, the new driver 399.24 fixed the hitching issues VERY well, and the dropping from 90 to 30 issue also.
But, I am only getting 35-60 fps now.
:(
But, at least its playable, but at 60 fps barely playable. And thats on High settings, with a lot of stuff turned off.
:(

And now I am getting an average of 78 fps with my new shiny 2080.
:D
It made the game go from 'man, I can barely play the game' to 'MAN! This game is ROCKIN!" .
I am super glad that I got the 2080 card.
It is working very well, and is a LOT cooler than the Titan X.
I am also glad I waited to play the game on the 2080, instead of getting frustrated with the little hitchiness that was happening before.
