hey borgasm, what windows are you using ? win 7 win 8.1 or 10?
u all ready doneit but alot of the suggestions say to reset ya config!
when i had the problem in Q3A, i got stutter was like every 2 seconds just for and instant. even in the game intro , drove me nuts!
to fix that you have to go into the nvidia control panel and disable\ turn off multi core rendering. now called "threaded optimization" in latest nvidia drivers.
when you do that make sure you click apply at the bottom of the nvidia control panel window !
just recheck it to make sure it has been saved !
NOTE: also every time you upgrade your video card drivers with a complete clean it will be reset! threaded optimisation will be turned back on to auto!
I tried lots of thing to fix it and that is what worked for me!
also in the nvidia control panel there are 3 other things you can change in the settings :-
power management mode - prefer max performance
multi display /mixed gpu acceleration - single display performance mode
maximum pre rendered frames - 1
another thing you can try is using the Display Driver Uninstalling tool! called DDU
you can get it from

it can help in some instances . it will let you completely clean all Nvidia or Radeon driver files !
another fix possibility :

this is about setting your frames at the refresh rate! worth a look!
another thing i have looked into lately sorta mainly cos i use SLI but it seems it can happen with single vid cards too is the frame time variance which can vary a lot and will cause stuttering even in single setups!
as a general rule the faster the frame rate the less the frame time and variance, the smoother it will be!
you can use afterburner to see what it acrtually is! i look at it in witcher 3 SLI and it is generally about 13ms at about 85fps !t dont seem to vary much more than about 5ms from 10-15ms! it feels very smooth to play!
in fact you can use after burner to tell you everything about your video car like, core and memory speeds temps % load vram use frame time ms cpu usuage ram usage and virtual ram usage etc! and alos overclock with it too!
also you can go into windows and change the affinity to single core! i tried this but a MAJOR side effect was that it totally screwed up my cpu overclocking! argghhhhhh could NOT possibly have that !
eg : "If that doesn't work, do as I do and set quakelive.exe to run on only one CPU core in task manager, that fixes all problems for me." quote from a forum same as i said above!
anyway hope you get something useful out of this!
cheers borgasm!
long live the P U T E Y !
