Game stutters and frame drops only at reserve make it unplayable for me recently

[babooooshka]

I need some help on diagnosing a problem whenever i try to play reserve. The game stutters as i enter and the frames drop to it being completely unplayable, jumping between single digit frames up to 30. I have no such issue on any other map and usually hit max 120fps with the graphics settings i have. graphics settings are below as well as my hardware. any ideas for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I used to  stutter in reserve all the time until I upgrade to 32 gig of ram. Stutter free now.

that was something i was thinking might help. i forgot to mention that i am running 16gb of ram. it might be that time to upgrade the ram.
