I solved the issue.. I wasted quite a bit of money for something this simple.
I searched for a week trying to find a resolve for this. It was the repeated keystrokes from the keyboard lagging the games. Found a thread on steam that someone else found.

Go back.
Ensure that 'Turn on Filter Keys' is ticked at the top and apply. Dead Island now runs smoothly, when you're done, untick the box and apply.
Hope this helps.
If anyone else has the stuttering problem try that !
Is there anyway to permantly delete repeat keystrokes ?
Actually, thanks alot for sharing the tip. It seems to have put an end to my ongoing stutter frustration.
The modification has undesired effects in a "typing" scenario as opposed to a gaming one, but I can live with that on a gaming station.
Sorry but I thought I posted a reply.. I looked and didnt see it.
My board is Asus P8Z77-v LK But all is fine now..
No problem Blaze I went through days of aggravation and money... A simple procedure like that cost me about $700 between the two 6950's and the 660ti.
Hopefully other people will see the fix and it save them some headache and money as well.
