I didnt install anything special but had perf mon running on my other screen to take a look. According to that my cpu is always at 100 and my gpu at 10%...Doesnt matter if i have my video settings at ultra or on medium the fps is the same. Surely my ivybridge isnt killing performance that badly?

first tip, always aim for the head unless your against a heavy with easy to hit weakpoints.. headshots do a lot more damage than body shots
secondly use the turret to defend if you dont have much cover, or if theyre flanking
as for the big tanky elites, aside from the melee ones they all have weakpoints.. with the minigun guy he has a red box behind his left shoulder, also the bullets coming from his ammo pound into the minigun can be shot, forcing him to crouch down and reload.. this can be done multiple times making him pretty easy
the grenade launcher guy has a weakpoint on his back, so throw a turret behind him to make him turn and shoot that
also staying in cover is vital, you just need to pick better cover so your not exposed from the other sides too much, or pick a spot they cannot flank you from
I think thats pretty solid evidence sadly.
You can disable dx12 if enabled, disable the latency option in game, reduce streaming distance. Those all should ease up on the cpu.
Reducing object detail may possibly also help the cpu also.

I still use cover, but I dont "stay in cover" its suicide now, instead I have to keep moving from one cover to another to evade the barrage of grenades and the flankers.
I found if I do find a spot where I cant be flanked then they will refuse to approach me within shooting range and just wait for me to come out. Unless its an elite they approach regardless.
Also I appreciate the tips on the elite weak spots, I didnt know that.

What weapon loadouts are most people using?
I tend to have an assault rifle or sub-machine gun for my primary weapon with a massive damage sniper rifle in slot 2 - never found a shotgun or heavy machine gun very useful in most circumstances!
The +30 rounds magazine in the assault rifle is an absolute godsend!

still waiting for AMD to give me my code

Assault rifle for CQB and a rifle for distance is what I use normally. Rifles imo are very powerful and have a much higher RPM than a sniper with faster aim.

Dudes, I've tried playing around and changing graphics settings, tweaked stuff and dropped from high to medium on lots of settings within the game. But I'm still getting stuttering. It's random and only lasts for a few seconds at a time. It's almost like a lag/latency issue? This video shows exactly what I'm getting:-

Sorted. I downloaded LSE from here and ran it:-

Game running smooth as butter now.

Also, and this might be a daft question - I've a m8 who has Division 2 on Xbox One. Is it possible for me to play online with him if I'm using my PC and he is on his XBone?

I've got the same issue now that I've switched to DX12, although not as regularly as you are seeing in that video. It wasn't doing it previously, it's weird as bar the odd stutter like the video shows it's utterly flawless and runs better than DX11!
As for weapon loadout, currently running with Automatic Rifle / LMG and a Sniper Rifle in the second slot, but I keep mixing it around. Just got a Famas when I levelled up which does great damage, but constantly reloading is annoying so the 100 round LMG I have gets a lot of use! As for specials I'm using the turret and the ball shaped drone.

LSE sorted it out for me. I wasn't sure it it was a lag/latency issue (I'm on a solid BT Infinity 40 mbps connection though) or if it was just my system which was holding me back. I guess it was my system since LSE has transformed the game for me now - no stutter at all. I'm off to the MM to look at what better GPU's than my 760 are on offer.

I'm afraid not - same platform only right now!
Some missions are really fun, just done the museum which had the planetarium in it and enjoyed all the way though using my turret and homing grenades, but others can be a real pain. One thing though he runs like a big girls blouse. Lol.
