Titanfall Crazy Framerate Spikes

Hey guys, as you may know the beta for Titanfall just launched today, and I am having a few issues, which is to be expected with any beta, but there is one that legitimately concerns me for a few reasons.

What happens is that on my rig (see signature for full specs) I can run it max settings no problems at 1080P and stay at the capped framerate of 60 FPS. However, at random and frequent times in the game, the game will lock up for a second or two (or 3) and my framerate will be really low shortly after that and then spike back up to the normal ~60, which is locked on my 60HZ monitor even without V-Sync.

I have two large reasons why I am concerned about this bug even in the beta stage of the game:

1. It is absolutely game-breaking. If it is still like this in the final release I will not be able to play it, it happens so frequently that it makes the game literally unplayable. In fact if I alt-tab out of the game, in some loading screens, it actually freezes my PC for a few moments for some reason. I don't do that in game, but the problem is even worse when I actually want to play and end up getting killed by a guy that I wasn't even able to see when my game froze.

2. Since I can't find anyone else on the internet or forums anywhere who seems to have the same or similar issues, I fear that this glitch/bug may NOT get fixed for the final release.

So what do you guys think? If any of you are playing, have you heard of this or experienced it for yourself? do you know of a fix? Again, my V-Sync is off, and I am running Nvidia display drivers 332.21 WHQL, I may try it on the newest beta drivers and see if that helps.

Also, NO other game gives me issues like this.

Thanks.

Yeah with a beta, no one here is going to have any info outside of what is in the beta forums. Fill out a bug report in the beta forums. That is as much as anyone can do right now. Meanwhile, if you have anything overclocked, try it at stock speeds, that is all I can really suggest right now.

Thanks to both of you guys for the replies. I filled out a report and did notice at least one other person with the same issue, so I hope it is noticed...

Also, I was playing the game on my weak AMD APU laptop, and even though all of the settings were on the lowest and at 1366x768 resolution, I still liked it better than on my powerful desktop because for some reason my laptop doesn't have the same issue :/

It seems like Nvidia cards are having a tough time with some games now (Battlefield 4 I still have framerate issues in today, but that might be b/c I have Win7), all of the performance complaints in TF were with Nvidia GPUs.

I will update to the Nvidia Beta 334.67 drivers to just test those, even though they were released on Jan 27 and probably won't change anything....

Thanks

EDIT: I've read on a bunch of places that the 331.93 drivers from NVIDIA are the best, and 332.21 and onward hurt performance for people. Should I go forward to the 334.67 BETA drivers or roll back to 331.93 drivers? One example people said was bad performance in AC:IV Black Flag on 332.21, and I have never gotten great performance in that game but really only played too much on those drivers and had issues.
