First report via PCGH below. Unfortunately origin prevented them from testing more than 1 gpu.

Allow me to quote myself from the other thread:

I've just played it for about one hour. The graphics are great maxed out, and the game itself seems decent. Performance is pretty good, with a virtually flawless 1440p60 on my Titan X (1340Mhz), and 5820K (4.5Ghz). It's not completely faultless because there are what seem to be loading/streaming stutters once in a while even though the game's on an SSD.

Test what, game wont connect because it's always online for no reason. Getting kicked out in the middle of the race even though I've selected the play alone mode.

I wish I could convince everyone to stop supporting devs who pull shit like this and hide themselves behind PR talk as to why they pull shit like this.

There really is absolutely no benefit to the online requirement. I was kicked out of the garage while tuning and lost 5 ranks a few days ago on PS4. I don't even want to drive around with someone else unless it's a friend or group of friends that's agreed to play with me - definitely not strangers.
 
So anyone else have this on PC now, the EA Access started today on Origin! How's performance, any screenshots?

I see theres some sites with the base version of the game for under $40 but where's the most affordable place to buy the Deluxe Edition?
 
pcgh added some more bench results. kepler peforms very poorly. 770 equal to or slower than 270x, 780ti 10 to 15% faster than a 280x. theres not much perf scaling for high end cards despite results being gpu limited.
 
Been wanting a good Need For Speed game for a while, but none of them have grabbed me like Underground 2 did.

Signed up for Origin Access, let's see how this goes.
 
Is there anyone who has the game on origin access that can comment if they fixed all of the gameplay issues from the console versions? (Problems noted in this youtube video)
