Unfortunately this was closed a bit prematurely given that it is an odd, yet real existing problem.

Almost three months later and we've built another system that also suffers the same symptoms, and between that and several new driver versions for all hardware, I am now out of ideas as having never experienced this before in any program.
Many calls to tech support, numerous emails that spawned various correspondence with regular employees all the way up to 'senior advisors' (so we're told), and miscellaneous digging has bore nothing fruitful.

I have to admit I am bitter that none of the post development team could not get their hands on two processors, two graphics cards and a motherboard simply to test this - all of which could have been done within a few hours.
Still, I am holding hope that 2.1 will fix it without explanation, though it seems grim.


Thanks to those that participated in helping and also in the pre-existing graphics performance threads that eventually spawned mine.
