ChileMike,

Try doing a fps limit by using EVGA Precision Tool or similar and see if the micro stutters disappear. I've limited mine to 35 fps and have virtually eliminated the micro stutters I was having. The other thing is make sure that you don't have any program running in the background such as an antivirus or malware checker which may be causing the stutters. Just because you have a powerfull system and an excellent V/card doesn't mean you have to run C.o.D. at full fps. By putting less strain on your V/card it allows it to perform better with less heat and less demand on the video ram, give this a try.
