System requirements:
Latest drivers: (as at 21/12/2017)
Nvidia: 388.71
AMD: 17.12.2
Intel: Depends on your processor; download the driver update utility
Tips and tricks:
Durante's port report: See this PC Gamer article.
Various CPU/GPU benchmarks and data: See this GameGPU article.
Note: The article is in Russian, but the data is presented via graphs.
Cap the framerate/potentially improve frametimes: Download RivaTuner Statistics Server, input your desired framerate limit in the "Framerate limit" box, and hit enter (the program comes bundled with MSI Afterburner and earlier versions of EVGA PrecisionX). Alternatively, those with an Nvidia GPU have the option of Nvidia Inspector, which can also be used to impose a framerate cap, either in a similar manner to RTSS or by way of forcing a different vsync interval (click the small tool icon to open the game profile section).
Note: Useful if you your system can't maintain, say, 60fps and you're sensitive to the wild fluctuations, or you're experiencing uneven frametimes. The greater window the engine has to render a given frame, if you're imposing a lower framerate than the game can otherwise provide, may also help in alleviating stuttering related to data streaming.
Stop the game from crashing after 15 minutes on touch-capable systems running Windows 10: Open the task manager, switch to the Services tab and disable TabletInputService.
Run the game in a borderless window: Use the aptly-named Borderless Gaming program. (Credit to Codeusa @ Github via dmr87.) See here for a usage guide.
Note: You can purchase the program on Steam for USD$4 or your regional equivalent if you're feeling charitable.
Fix particularly poor performance on 500-series and 600-series Nvidia GPUs: Try downgrading to the 314.22 drivers. (Credit to Oracle Dragon.)
Fix ambient sound issues (for those with a Realtek HD Audio codec): Install the latest drivers. (Credit to Pafnucy.)
Mitigate instability (1): Try increasing the amount of virtual memory Windows can use. (Credit to Asph @ Reddit via Exploding8.) Additionally, running the game in a borderless window (see "Run the game in a borderless window" above) may also aid in at least reducing intermittent crashing. (Credit to Exploding8.)
Mitigate instability (2; for those on Win10): Running services.msc using the start menu (type it in and hit Enter) and disabling Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service may help. (Credit to Rayge.)
Mitigate instability (3; for those with an Nvidia GPU): Try setting your GPU's power management mode (found in Nvidia Control Panel -> 3D Settings) to "Prefer maximum performance" may help. (Credit to mjp2417.)
Mitigate stuttering (4; for those using an Xbox controller): Try rolling back to the 2009 drivers. (Credit to bones123.)

Anyone who knows if there is an ini file?
