Awesome! Can't wait to try it out
. 8-9 fps should be just enough to get me a stable 60.

Wow great to hear. Any impact on the apparently janky ass cutscenes?
Aztechnology

That's as we suspect, due to cutscenes being 30fps.
Was waiting for this!!!
IT's available on geforce exprience now as well.

Yeah, that's true but for it to be causing such judder, whatever method they are using to lock the framerate during those scenes must not work well. 30 fps motion should at least look relatively consistent if not particular smooth. From all reports, the motion judders.
Is your 2500k overclocked?

No.
Wow. Well then that's really good performance. Very cool.

Those new nVidia drivers look so good if the benchmarks on PCGH.de are to be believed. Going to try them now. I was already getting good performance on the old driver.
Turn off Rivatuner/Afterburner (or anything similar which has an overlay)

Aye, my CPU is the same way. I don't mind it in gameplay obviously. As long as it allows my GPU to operate at its maximum potential to achieve the framerate cap.
It seems to have really good CPU utilisation. Much like BF4 and Crysis 3.
I don't mind it either. It was just a noticeable bump in fan speed. First time that I heard a game do that lol

With DS4Windows yeah, too bad the game doesn't natively support it like Far Cry 4 :/
So this game and AC:U stress my PC full throttle sitting at the title screen. WTF are devs thinking with incompetent decisions such as these? I was considering leaving my AC:U install alone for the day, if I had, my PC would have been at ~100% GPU usage for 13 hours. :| Noticed DA:I title screen had my PC running hot as well, checked it out and my i7 4810 CPU is being utilized 60%. For a fucking title screen. Mind blowing.
Other than that the game is great though! Can't let one baffling ignorant decision ruin the game.

Running quite well on my:
i7 920 (OC @ 3.4)
MSi GTX 970
9 GB RAM
I'm seeing drops only to the low 50s (aside from the cutscenes) with Max settings and MSAA x4, and this is pre the new driver that just dropped. Game is just gorgeous.
Bravo Bioware!

What's the word on Denuvo? Any new tests?
I have until Friday to decide.

New drivers made a huge difference outside of the benchmark for sure. Really happy with the performance of this game now.

Getting a stable 60fps on my setup after closing FRAPS (no more stutters).
Core i7 4770
8gb RAM
GTX 980
My male character is referred to as a she, or her during dialog, pretty weird bug.
This game is going to take up all my time.... I can already tell.

Yeah. The overlays would be the first place I'd look for stutter problems. I spent 3 days trying to figure out a Battlefield4 stutter I had. After trying almost everything under the sun, I accidentally forgot to turn on afterburner after a reboot and the game was running silky smooth. Turned afterburner back on and it was back to stuttering.
Sigh.
There is not an available Nvidia driver for this yet? I am using 344.65. I know a FC4 Game Ready driver is supposed to drop today, but not sure about DA:I. I ran benchmark from Med -> Custom before work today. Is the benchmark supposed to only take 15 or so seconds.
Setup:
4930k @ 4.3ghz
3x GTX Titan Blacks
ROG Swift (2560x1440, Gsync)
--
I used the presets and for Custom I completely maxed everything.
Med: 162fps avg
High: 122fps avg
Ultra: 81fps avg
Custom: 63fps avg
Text Quality - Fade Untouched
Tessellation - Ultra
Post Processing - Ultra
AA - 4x MSAA
Not working for me.
People keep referring to a new driver. Would be nice to mention if you are on Nvidia or AMD.

FC4 game ready driver also added improvements for DA: I as well as adding MFAA to Assassins's Creed Unity.
I got this bug, too. My male mage is called "Lady" everywhere.
Ah ok thanks. Well I should hopefully get a nice boost when I install these drivers later today. I was also running benchmark with the Afterburner overlay which I see may have also degraded performance.
Where's your friend getting his info from? We haven't seen any concrete evidence that this is the case outside of one user showing off already bloated hard drive stats. The rest is just FUD.

Good Grief.
Do you know if I have to shut down afterburner in its entirety or can I just shut off rivatuner statistics server?
My GPU fan is borked and I kinda need something to monitor my temps so I'd like to keep afterburner open.

Sir!
Is there a way to cap the FPS? I hate fluctuations. I'd rather have it capped at 30 than see it swing around.
I have an i7 2600 and a 750ti with 2GB of vram so it looks like I should expect an average in the high 40s/low 50s, but again, I hate experiencing framerate fluctuations.

I have afterburner on and rivatuner off, and it's running fine. Fraps and Rivatuner on caused stutters, just afterburner no problems.

Pretty sure if the overlay is causing stutter then you can get by with just turning RTSS off.
Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the help

So closing Fraps worked for some people? I'd love for it to be that simple. I'll try that when I get home. My freezing is terrible and it drives me crazy.

I'm seeing 91% GPU utilisation when I'm only getting 55 FPS and my cap is at 60.
Not sure if it's the CPU being under utilised because I'm seeing maybe 80% on a couple of threads out of 8 threads at this point where GPU is only at 91%.
I understand it's never going to be fully CPU utilised so I'm guessing maybe it's just down to per core/thread performance of the CPU. Crysis 3 manages to utilise it more though and maxes my GPU out at 99% whenever it's needed to get the highest framerate.
Hopefully it's improved a little in a patch.

With everything on high except Tesselation on medium, textures on ultra and post process on low, mantle enabled and SSAO and medium post process AA i seem to be around 50-60 fps with dips cause goddang do stuff go crazy during combat sometimes. I'm also having quite alot of stutter, and i notice it more with mantle enabled. However on DX11 framerate is noticably worse, having me around 40+ wih framedrops AND stutter, but not as much.
Do you guys know what the most taxing settings are? I'm thinking about fiddling around with the settings but might just wait for a patch that might smooth things out, hopefully fix the stutter or something.
Specs
RAM: 8 GB
CPU: AMD AM3+ FX - 8320
GPU: XFX Radeon HD7850 2GB GDDR5

Very glad to hear that. Have you tried locking it to 60 instead of 30?
