This would depend on the in-game graphical settings. Though I never stated that everything runs at 60FPS without any dips. However, if anything below 60FPS would be unplayable for you then I am afraid that I won't be able to assist further.

Note that you are free to ask for assistance in the troubleshooting thread I linked. I however will not allow a further discussion along these lines.

I would recommend to first have a look at our PC troubleshooting article that details further steps that you can take.

Should the issue persists then the only other suggestion I have for you is to try and test if you still experience the same stuttering problem if running the game with only one GPU.

I have seen further reports for a variety of games where Crossfire or SLI setups might experience stuttering issues, and I am afraid that apart from what is listed here already that I don't have further steps available specific to such setups.

Please reach out to me if you have any further questions.

Game runs badly on AMD CPUs, don't expect it to be fixed. In this game it seems you're CPU limited when you don't own an I7-6700K or an  I7-5960X.

@DayDiSyraahSwano

I have not yet run into any issues on my FX-8230. This means that any issues that you seem to be experiencing are not specifically related to your AMD CPU. 

Lastly, please don't jump into the topics of other users stating that the game is broken or that AMD CPU's don't work with the game as this doesn't serve any purpose in those topics. I will remove those messages. You are of course free to reach out to us via our PC troubleshooting thread if you would like us to have a further look at your system.

Show me proof you run this game constantly at 60fps or more in 1080P/Ultra settings with your CPU, especially on the highway near South Port when we can see the petrochimical plant. I'd love to see that.

Picture of the place where the FPS are the lowest on the map:

Hi Tom,

I have gone through the trouble shooting that you had suggested before I contacted you. Also I included My DxDiag in the org post. If you need it elsewhere please inform. I dont understand how I can run Dirt Rally on Ultra, and I can't run this on low? Help me figure it out please. The game is unplayable in it's present state, for me.

It's not unplayable, it just feels unpleasant to play due to all these dips (if you don't own a Gsync/Freesync monitor). We want a stable framerate and that's why (it seems) we, PC players, had to wait for 4 months after the console release in order to play this game.

When you own a rig above the recommended one for 1080P/60FPS/high settings, it's not supposed to go down  as low as 35/40 fps in some areas. It feels even worse that way than to have the framerate locked @30FPS.
