FPS Issues

PC Specs - (Old)

 

FX 8120

HD 7770 1gb

8gb ram

windows 8.1

750w psu

 

When I'm walking outside town, I get really smooth fps, you know that solid 60 feel where it just feels silky smooth, then when I approach a town / look at one when I'm close or inside one, I get these massive fps hits and it feels like im running 10-30fps, it does not feel smooth, it feels really damn low and unsmooth.

 

I thought it was my GPU, due to it being not very powerful and only 1gb in vram.

 

Upgraded to a MSI R9 280x Twin frozr gaming edition card.

 

Exactly the damn same situation in the town. Is there a fix to these fps drops? I feel at a massive disadvantage having fire-fights in town due to the hard to aim with the choppy frames :/

It's because the game is really unoptimalized right now, it should get better after some patches
