Haven't played much but wanted to chime in that a GTX 1070 paired with a Core i5-4690K at 3.5 GHz seems to play the tutorial area at 1440p 60 fps with everything on high but no AA with 90%+ GPU usage.
I'm finding the keyboard and mouse controls garbage. Lots of accidental dodges due to the use of double tap direction for dodge instead of a dedicated dodge button. The free-move schmup sections are particularly bad as mouse can control which way you're pointing but keyboard controls both movement and pointing direction so you spaz out if you want to both move and point (although I'm not sure if you can both move and point independently on console/controller). No native DS4 support so I'm going to install InputMapper and see how that goes.

Sorry man just got angry and smashed my keyboard for a bit. I was coming here to provide PC performance stuff I promise, it was just a heat of the moment kind of thing.

runs like crap on my i7 6700 with a GTX1070 55-60fps on high settings with AA off
it constantly stutters even with ok framerates, guess i push the refund button and buy it on the pro

Steam can do that for you. Activate BPM once and go to the controller settings, Steam will make the game recognize your DS4 as an Xbox controller. You can deactivate BPM after setting that up once, in case you don't like it (I hate it).
alright thanks!

Anti Aliasing comparison
It's all good. Just don't forget you get a shit ton of potions.
Anyone fiddle with nVidia control panel to optimize their settings?

Is there already some kind of AA running by default? Not the best, but the game is definitely not running a sharp image with MSAA disabled.

The game runs flawlessly at 1080p with everything maxed it including AA. 60fps with slight dips to 57 was the lowest I saw.
Really not getting the reports of it being a bad port--Basic, but great performing

The grass is the biggest difference, especially in motion. 2x seems sufficient to me at higher resolutions.

Run with everything maxed, no vSync though, at 1440p...bar those pre-rendered 30fps cutscenes making me sad, its buttery smooth. Also the game is nuts, bizzare, but i love it.
More apparent in certain areas and in motion. AA seems take a lot of GPU resources versus other settings.

Disabled AA and Vsync, otherwise maxed, get perfect 60FPS.
What's the deal with the 30FPS cutscenes though? I'm assuming they're pre-rendered, but the framerate in them seems juddery.
Heh, notably this is the first game since Mankind Divided where I've had to disable anti-aliasing instead of cranking it to max. Jesus MSAA is a performance killer. Though in this case a mere 5-10FPS performance loss to the 50's/high-40's when I had it on, versus the drops to the 10FPS range Mankind Divided had going for it.
Only gripe is that I had to use a borderless-window program to run in 1080p due to the bug that's been mentioned plenty of times.

i just played a good 90 minutes with 980ti/4790k set up and with lowering some options you get 60 fps at all times but there's sudden drops to 40 every now and then for only a second or 2 i don't know why but it doesn't bother me that much.

Every time after the first miniboss chainsaw arm thing, after 9S flies away, the game crashes. Well, not crashes, I can still hear menu sounds and running around and all that but the window is frozen on a frame and I cant minimise or do anything. This is bullshit.
I should have just got the fucking PS4 version.

1080p native. Base PS4 is 900p.
Are you sure you're not getting the full screen resolution bug? I had the game set to full screen 1080p, but it most certainly did not look like 1080p. Running it in a borderless 1080p window is the fix I've used now.

A friend told me those drops are because of Denuvo. That's bullshit right?
1080p in general. 900p on base model.

Yeah, there's definitely some post process AA there by default.
This should be common sense for PC games, but if anyone is unhappy with their performance I'd recommend lowering or just disabling the AA setting in the options altogether. I think the game still looks great (some textures aside) without MSAA.

Another thing, is this amount of pop-in to be expected? Is this what it's like on the PS4 version?

Game straight up doesn't work. Past the intro screen turns black, music plays, and I can't do anything. Clicking outside the window causes the game to crash along with steam itself. Turned gsync off, set 144 hz monitor to 60, etc. Fuck

At 1440p I get ~50fps on average and not a single setting (besides AA) I change makes any difference in terms of performance. Also get some horrible stutter for a few seconds every few minutes. It's...okay, I guess. Wonder what causes that stutter, though. It's really annoying.

There's some, but it's not that blatant, no. (Pro)
Edit: actually I just checked the game itself and while there is a lot of pop it's somehow not as bad. It's like the LOD on PC changes multiple times and in different sequence while everything starts to pop in more evenly on PS4 so it's not as distracting.

Drop to normal or easy then go back up once the prologue is done
Thanks a lot, this fixed it!
Windowed mode + Borderless Gaming + 59hz refresh rate = Butter mode engaged!
Fullscreen mode is broken. See the OP for a fix.
Now that I think about it in full screen the resolution is a bit...fuzzy. Is that the right word? It's far more crisp in windowed mode, I'd love a borderless window option if that means I could avoid this issue. It's nothing plaguing my experience, just something I noticed.
EDIT: Trying the borderless program mentioned in the OP.

Full screen is currently broken, doesn't render at selected resolution unless in windowed mode.

Solved the softness problem, switched to borderless window and put the preset to high instead of custom.

But it just takes so long. If there was like a save state or something past that I could just use to see if it's that area causing the crash or not. I know it's not the thing in the OP about the touch stuff because my PC doesn't have any of that stuff and I even double checked and it's already disabled.
I just want to be able to beat up some robots at around 40-55ish fps because my computer is apparently a sudden a pile of shit.

Holy crap that popin is terrible... Please let there be a patch for this... I just bought the game... (´;︵;`)
But Durante said it's a good port.

Full screen seems to be bugged, and currently not rendering/displaying at the correct resolution. Frame pacing is all over the place, too. Some of the cutscenes seem to play at sub 30fps, and as a result look extremely rough. Borderless window fixes a couple of the aforesaid issues, but it's still not to my liking. The demo on PS4 Pro felt more polished than that. Cutscenes on the Pro play at 30fps with proper cadence and no obvious stutters.
- 2160p, all settings maxed, AA at 2x.
- 5820K / 4.3Ghz
- GTX 1080ti / 2038Mhz (HDMI --> Marantz SR6011 --> LG B6)
Amazing game, though. Can't argue with that. =)

I take it this game will kill a Intel HD 4000 system, even on low and with an i5-4670, right?
I really need to upgrade...

Runs perfectly fine so far, but the guy that decided to put in 900p, 30fps pre-rendered cutscenes needs to be fired.
Also who thought it was a good idea to have these bars on the top and bottom during cutscenes? That makes the game look so much worse.

This is the first port in a while I'm actually having serious "unplayable" level trouble with.
Fullscreen has been shown to be broken, but Windowed works correctly, so work around it in borderless windowed mode with Borderless Gaming temporarily
Tried turning some settings down? It's not as performing as nicely as I expected but hasn't been unplayable, though I wouldn't call it a good port with all of those cutscene framepacing issues either.
