tpm off = no problems other than my GTX970 really sweating on blights(still manages to keep the fps 35+ on 1080p)

Blight is unfortunately unplayable for me if I do it with blocking towers (cold/quake)... Otherwise its so-so, not good but not fatally bad either.

Big +1 here.

I was actually stupid enough to defend those "performance improvements" at the end of crucible. I thought within a week or two GGG would sort out the issues. Hell was i wrong.
It's almost been an entire league now and game performance is still absolute ass even on minimum settings and the most recent patch is the pinnacle so far. That stupid shader was fucked up ever since the first "improvement" taking half a minute every map to load but at least you could wait until he was done and had somewhat fluid gameplay afterwards.

Now that stupid thing is going nonstop with nonstop stutters and lags in tow making it utterly impossible to do any kind of content that requires character control.
If i can't do content while just standing there with eyes closed i literally can't play the game anymore. It's pathetic at this point. 3 months of working on those issues and the recent "fix" just made it worse.

This thread isn't about performance issues with sh!t hardware.
It is about a 100% reproducible stutter that occurs for everyone, even with the best possible pc hardware. I see it on livestreamers that play this game all the time.

Just open the ingame performance graph, open and enter any fresh map, kill the first pack of monster, and open the inventory = massive stutter, which can be seen as a big spike on the graph.
