**Update**

Edited the bootconfig file with the first 2 lines being :

gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1

edited the launch parameter in Steam to include :

-window-mode exclusive -screen-fullscreen

updated geforce driver (they just released one).

used the gefore optimazation.

was getting 30+ fps for awhile until i was running through black forest. had pretty hard drops there, but much better. will tweak some of the detail settings and see if i can smooth those areas out.

Thanks again all for the help.
