Video Settings Help

OK, I'm Sure you guys get this all the time but I have failed to resolve this issue on my own and I'm ready to throw my laptop through the window. I recently purchased SH5 and was expecting GREAT things. But its visually choppy and jerky. This program should be running smooth....any advice?

My system:
ASUS G750JX
Windows 8.1 64 Bit
Intel Core i7 4700HQ @ 2.40GHZ
GeForce GTX 770M with 3GB dedicated VRAM
12GB DDR3 RAM

SH5:
Version 1.2
NO MODS enabled (Just trying to correct the visuals first)

I have tried playing with the sliders in game. I have tried adjusting my video card settings. All drivers, bios, etc. are up to date.

I'm getting a frame rate of 60-100 in the boat and higher outside.

Disabling anti-aliasing got rid of stuttering for me.

Tried that already....no joy. I also tried disabling vertical sync...I am confident that someone on subsim will be able to steer me towards a resolution. They seem to know more about the scripting in these games than the programmers at Ubisoft. I should also add that my resolution is set to max on my 17.3 inch screen.

That's very strange indeed. All I can suggest is experimenting with the settings. Try everything on low and see if there is any lag. If not, start upping the graphics one by one to see where's the culprit. If there's lag even on low settings, then well I don't know what could possibly be wrong. I don't know much about Windows 8, but perhaps there's some compatibility issue with Windows 8 and SH5?

My PC has much slower components, but the game runs flawlessly on almost max settings.

Use this mod, place the two files in to SH5 folder, don't enable with JSGME.

So after days of tweaking, and downloading, and playing with .cfg files and anti-aliasing. it turns out that its not the program. when my laptop is off the charger it throttles the processor and video card. So now how do I fix that?! P.S. when its on the charger....amazing, my faith in the SH series has been restored.
