Shadows of Mordor Help!

Hey all

Rig:
i7 4770k 3.5 GHz
8GB DDR3
Nvidia GTX 770 2GB

So I was getting 59/60fps this afternoon on the game, then i downloaded and installed the latest nvidia driver and suddenly my performance has dropped down to 25-30 fps mark! I've not changed any of the game settings, my OC has the Core Clock set to 40 and the Memory Clock to 0.
Other things I've changed was turning off hibernation and reducing my Pagefile to a more manageable size (because it was sucking up a huge portion of my SSD).

I've reverted the pagefile to the previous size (managed by windows) and restarted the machine, I've left the hibernation off (fail to see what influence that would have). I've tried bringing down the graphics from Ultra to Very High on SoM without any effect (still stuck 25-30fps).

Honestly I don't know or understand why this has happened, could it have been the Nvidia update? Has anyone else experienced this issue or something similar?

Roll-back your latest Nvidia driver if you are experiencing similar issues, I am now back to 70+fps on ultra!

Did you roll back to old driver and see what happens?

you shouldn't have your page file on your SSD btw, move it to a HDD.

Could you tell me how to do that? I read a few articles across google that advised against it

download and run the program. select nvidia and let it do the recommended safe mode restart clean uninstall.

repeat for amd if you ever had an amd video card installed in your computer. do not run for intel.

reinstall the latest nvidia beta drivers.

we can rule out driver conflicts this way.
