Its the CPU. You dont need to have CPU runing at 100% to have CPU bottleneck. Check the individual CPU core usage, not the entire CPU usage during the drops.

Furthermore, if you tried the low settings and you still have this issue, that just more or less confirms that the CPU is the bottleneck.

Did you DDU in safe mode and reinstall drivers fresh new?

 

also yeah all FX CPUS are really bad gaming alternatives nowadays due to their super weak single thread performance.

CPU bottle neck, sorry. 

If the CPU is a bottle neck , then at low settings it shoudnt be an issue , furthermore use to run Dual X R9 280 and didnt head issue whit FPS droping

Low settings decrease the load on the graphics card, making the fps rise, which puts the load on the CPU.

 

You proved it's a cpu bottleneck. 

If anyone asks you never saw me.

The lower the settings -> the more the CPU heavy the game becomes.

The game is more CPU demanding after the new big update than it was before.

Sure, if you cant maintain 60FPS with V-Sync then you will drop to 30FPS for a moment which will be definitely noticeable.

Also, check your frame times, FPS usually enough but sometimes you can have good FPS but really bad frame times which will result in a stuttering.

16,6ms or lower is what you want.

Anything 33ms+ is bad.

The good news is that you have a very wide choice for your CPU upgrade, since most CPU's that you can buy right now are a lot faster than the AMD FX...
