I have researched fixes for this on multiple forums and no one has come up with a real fix that works 100%... SE should have fixed this before stormblood but continues to ignore it.
I'm not sure of this, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it's very possible that this is the 970 itself, because NVIDIA made those with a botched memory controller which is a hardware flaw with these cards. This card is wonky because only the first 3.5GB out of the 4GB of onboard memory runs at full speed, and when memory usage goes over this for any reason, it will cause severe performance problems and errors.

There was a class-action lawsuit against NVIDIA for the 970 memory architecture. NVIDIA lost this case and had to pay millions to 970 owners.
I see this issue with this game everyday from players using the 970 card, but not with the 980. I run a 980 and haven't had these problems occur. I can say that it has ran flawless on this card.

AMD on the other hand, those cards suffer from a memory leak, and it appears to be EVERY AMD card too.
