I was having issues today when I started playing, and noticed for some reason "Dynamic Resolution" was enabled and "Target Framerate" was set to 5. Disable "Dynamic Resolution" and it should fix your problem.

For some reason, that makes no sense :S

Dynamic resolution only kicks in when your fps drops below a certain point, as indicated by your 'target framerate' or ' target fps'. What it does, is lower your game resolution to increase fps when your fps falls below that set target fps.
Consider you get 60 fps in normal conditions. You start a very flashy fight, and that lowers your fps to 20. Imagine you have a set target framerate of 30. Dynamic resolution kicks in, lowers your game resolution, and boosts your fps back up, over 30, or as much as possible.
It in no way negatively impacts game performance.

Did you make any changes to your softwares or hardware recently ? Have you changed any graphic settings ingame or any changes in your systems global graphic settings(like in nvidia control panel or radeon settings for amd) ?

also what is your "smooth" FPS + when did the choppy FPS started? like in a specific place, with game start, whatever

It took me a second for your reply to click in my mind, and yes, you are right, I'm not sure what I was thinking. When I saw 5 earlier I was thinking it was forcing the game to run at 5 fps but that is wrong.

OP, I'm thinking you have a hardware problem. Are you running a laptop or desktop?

it's not your fault. MANY people complain about laggy/choppy framerates. It's the fault of the game devs for not bothering to update their code.
