Hi,

My rig is an Asus ROG laptop with i7-6700HQ @2.7, 16GB of Ram, 1070 8GB. Both origin and the game are installed on an SSD. Everything I can find says that I should be able to play at 1080p smooth 60fps, but this is far from the case! It frequently drops and bounces around within 20-39 mark and this is consistent across difficulty presets. Throughoit this the gpu tends to hang around 50% but the Cpu is either maxed out or close to it.

I can't seem to find a combination of settings to help out, would greatly appreciate any advice.
 
Yes, it's either a cpu bottleneck or just bad optimization. If the cpu hangs in the 90-100% usage there is not much you can do. try to close every application you have running in the background (internet etc). I guess you already run the game at ultra settings?
 
Playing with a i5-3470 at 4K everything on ultra and no bottleneck here. CPU is around 60-80% with a 1080ti oc edition. A 1440p screen would be perfect for you as the bottleneck will be gone then and you'll have nice frame rates at a higher resolution.
