I've been having an issue with a rather specific lag - It only occurs when I use AoE powers/hit a lot of targets. (Fireball, Thunderstrike, Shield charge, etc etc etc)
My Netgraph shows a low green bar.
My FPS usually runs at about 60 but can dip as low as 35 when this graphics lag hits.
GPU and CPU temps are normal/cool
I usually run on maxed settings, there is zero lag running around the city with SS on or anything like that, even when brought down to min settings this lag from AoE powers persists.
Honestly I don't even know what could be the root cause, here is the info taken from CoH Helper. Any help would be appreciated!

As an *Edit* Verified all Files again and ran in safe mode, even then still saw the graphics lag about the time an AoE power would connect.
*Edit 2* Running it in min settings my FPS goes from 50-60 up to 90. When I go to fire off an AoE (been using thunder strike) it plummets down below 30. (At Max settings it seems to be dipping as low as 10 FPS sometimes when I end up with 10+ targets)

Anyone have any ideas? Don't know? I'm at a loss.
