FPS Drops in Witcher 2.

[noobie121]

My friend bought me Witcher 2 on Steam and i downloaded it and i have everything on Medium settings. And The frame rates were at 50 right when i started the tutorial and when i walked into a forest like area it dropped to 40 and there was sine stuttering but minimal. I used Fraps to see how much FPS i was getting. In cutscenes in battle it would jump between 40-50
and i can play BF3 multiplayer and campaign with all settings on High and maintain at least 50+ even in a firefight. Here are my PC specs http://pcpartpicker.com/p/oW5G I should have all the driver updates.

As far as I remember, the forest is the most graphically demanding area of Witcher 2 (it's also one of the most beautiful of any game in my opinion).
I'll refer you to Garudin's post on GameFaqs; have a look what he wrote and see if this helps:

Looks normal. Witcher 2 is more graphically intensive than BF3.
