It stutters sometimes, but pretty smooth overall.

I have kind of the same setup, but yours is better. So, for now, I ended up with lower resolution (2560x1080) but with dynamic shadows set to medium.

 

Lighting is better with Dynamic shadows, but they are a huge hit for the performance.

Why did you set Civ. Traffic to Low, does it hit FPS?

Civ. Traffic is on low because when you see a car driving now and then it brings the world alive.

 

When you look closely you can indeed discover a few little stutters in the movie but this is only when running MSAA 4x and recording in 4K.

 

Normally when I play the game it runs totally smooth on my Asus 3440x1440 G-sync monitor.

 

If I run at MSAA at 4x I get 60 to 70 FPS but when I lower the MSAA to 2x I get 80 to 100 FPS.
