Anyone played Far Cry 3 recently?

Looking for some settings advice as I'm having a nightmare with hitching and slowdowns. My spec is in my sig.

Everything is maxed, v-sync off.
I've tried fiddling with all of the settings in Video, but I haven't tried dropping anything from Ultra in Quality.

Has anyone played with a recent rig and found the same? Did you find any solutions? There is some chatter from years ago but nothing seems to work.

Forgot I updated drivers a few weeks back. Updated again to newest and it's as good as the previous set. But still hitches a bit.

Feels similar to how Crysis was recently, but that was a multi-core CPU issue iirc.

DX9 seemed flawless (bar its obvious limitations). Did they tack DX11 on as an after thought?
