Stutter stepping hard in game , Becoming unplayable at higher difficulties .

Details on problems you're experiencing, and if it's occurring when certain skills are being used, or in certain areas/situations.

My game is stuttering like crazy on both of my computers . They are similar computers but not quite the same, stats below for both. Its always once the FPS start to get overrun by abyss / breach + maps etc . my character will just jump across the screen and cause me to die and im pretty much unable to progress any further in 15's at this point cause i just die in crucial moments ( lost my 150 breach shards quest for my final 2 points cause i died on boss to the stutter right into a big ass hand lol )

In the graphs picture, it looks like you're having issues with the shaders like a lot of people here.

One thing you can try is to increase the shader cache. I know nvidia has a setting for that. Some people report things going back to normal when you do that. I am unsure if geforce has anything similar.
usually the nvidia driver causing issues with poe patches
many had them for years.
