While playing the Witcher 3, everytime I attack an enemy with my sword the framerate drops about 5 FPS for a second, when I use Igni and I successfuly light the enemy on fire I get about 20 FPS for 10 seconds. I have also noticed that when I loot an enemy, the framerate drops like it does when I attack. I have put every video setting including post processing to the lowest and tested this, but it still lags. The game runs fine while not doing these things, constant 60+ FPS.

My hardware: GTX 1080 FE
i7-4770
24GB DDR3 Ram
Running off SSD.

Please help, this constant lag is ruining the game for me. Thanks in advance.

Check your page file and see if you have enough memory allocated & verify the game cache on Steam.
If that doesn't work monitor what your RAM, CPU, GPU and SSD loads are when it lags. With that info it's much easier to determine the problem.
