Thanks for all the help guys. Managed to fix the game. I downgraded my nvidia drivers to 344.75. Neither newer nor older drivers worked for me only this specific one. Additionally I tabbed out of the game immediately when it started and changed the graphics settings for the game in the NVIDIA Control Panel to High-performance NVIDIA processor. Then I changed my game settings to windowed Fullscreen instead of fullscreen and no longer had to tab out as I started the game. Can finally enjoy the game maxed out since my desktop couldn't handle it. Next step is to figure out why my graphics settings get reset when I run games in fullscreen and not in windowed mode, but that will be for another day.
