mirage, as for my experience, when I was getting this problem before the patch, I noticed it could happen for 2 different reasons:
1 - performance, which could be mitigated by lowering graphical settings (also, although it's risky, I overclocked my CPU, which made most of the improvements)
2 - CPU throttling -- everytime my CPU got too hot (about 70°C), the system would lower its speed to avoid overheating and it would cause stuttering.

You might try to check for situation 2 by using a software like OpenHardwareMonitor, and paying attention to CPU temperature and speed values when stuttering happens (the ideal would be having 2 monitors, and checking OHM on the second one while playing the game).

You, or anyone still having this issue, might want to check some of these possibilities.

Also, if you want to post your system specs here, maybe we could try to figure out what might be the cause.
