Frame Rate choppy with high end system

[Gvaz]

I will do this, but before I do are my shadows working correctly? In the screenshot above shadows are enabled, yet I do not see a shadow being cast by any object in that scene, such as the table or chair.

EIDT DISABLING aero FIXED the issue. The game is running on high settings at 60fps no problem. I am also using dual monitors if that helps.

Since you're using dual monitors, and since areo uses the gfx, it sounds like you're overtaxing your graphics card. It has to run two resolutions :o
