Oh Canada!
When I play Forza 3 I get slowdown, especially during races or special sections like when you race the freight train. It literally looks like the slowdown from the NES days. The game just slows down then speeds back up but I get no drop in framerate. I have tried changing every possible setting in video options but the issue persists. If I turn framerate smoothing off the slowdown sections turn into slideshows.

System is as follows

Win 10
4790K
ASRock Z97 Anniversary
DDR3 2400 c11
GTX 980 G1 gaming
CX500 PSU (I know, I know...)
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB (OS)
Seagate ST2000 2TB (GAMES)

Nothing is overclocked ATM. Hard drive status shows good in CrystalDiskInfo and checks out 100% in Checkdisk. Game is installed on HDD. HDD is defragmented frequently.
 
I remember seeing a digital foundry video here say say it's pretty much made for 30fps, or 60fps if you have very VERY high end hardware. Disabling MAAA is key to getting decent performance
