I should add this is with all NVIDIA effects set to OFF. Everything else is cranked to max.

I have updated the OP with some important information.

Just one minor change, Max_FPS to MaxFPS, apparently there's no underscore.

So here is hoping there is a patch or fix for this framerate because it going between low 20's back up to 60 then back to 40 then down to full on multiple second long freezes during real time cinematics sucks so much. The game looks incredible, but if this keeps up I might have to switch over to PS4.

Done
No it's all the unskippable intro logos. You save yourself about 30 seconds to getting to the main menu by removing them.

Give it a try with the Game works on. That second 970 should handle all of that by itself, with little drop to the main 970 handling the game.
Ahh. Yeah that was annoying as hell in Origins.
faster time to get to the things that actually matter, like the game. if i have an option to skip intros, ill always go for it. it drives my crazy when devs dont allow you to skip intros/splash screens.
Going to try borderless window then, I'll report back.
So to do this, do I need to disable SLI, then select Physx for the 2nd card and click dedicate check box? The main thing I am questioning is if I am supposed to disable SLI?

i remember the consensus that ports would be better now that console hardware is so similar to pc. ports are worse than they have ever been
Had the game crash around an hour in with that DXGI error. That seems par for the course.
What isn't, though, is that now every time I start the game since that crash, there's no sound and the intro videos are MASSIVELY hitching. Like, it will render a few frames of video, pause for a second, render another few, pause, etc.
As a brief aside, this isn't the first time I've had this super video choppiness happen, but before it was mostly slightly older games (most recently the Force Unleashed series) leaving the games entirely unplayable, and even other games performing at 60 FPS at low temperatures (DiRT 3 and Life is Strange) crashing and making the video driver reset. I have a 970. I'm inexperienced with video card issues; guess I got lucky before. Should I assume this is a driver thing, or maybe faulty hardware?

Haha, such a "Okay, fuck this guy" face.

Well, I was really looking forward to playing this tomorrow...
Rocksteady, why did you do this to us...?

The consensus is that Unreal Engine + DX11 is still shit
Nah but it's just really disappointing. I guess DX12 will save us all?

At 2560x1440 and everything maxed.
i5 2500k @ 4GHz
16GB RAM
2 980tis. Since SLI is currently broken, one of the 980tis is set as a dedicated Physx card.
Minimum: 38
Maximum: 78
Average: 59
That seems about what I'm getting in game as well. It's mostly staying around 60 with some occasional dips into the mid 40s. Hopefully SLI will work soon so I can get a constant 60.
Also, for a comparison, here is with all Gameworks settings turned off.
Minimum: 65
Maximum: 107
Average: 81

What am I reading... just got home and hearing about the bad performances on a 970. 
Downloading my drivers now and I'll see with an i5 4690

I just bought the game via GMG and added the key to steam. It finished "pre loading" but the game isn't unlocked for me yet? I'm in Canada (east coast).

VPN trick worked. Running smooth everything maxed out (including geForce stuff) 59-60 frames without any hacks. I am the chosen one?

Wow, this is surprising. I remember getting City on launch and it ran just fine. What happened? Did Rocksteady outsource the port?
Unlocks at midnight.

A GPU upgrade yields far more frames than a CPU upgrade. Even for one as old as a Sandy Bridge.

Hmm it will be interesting to see how the game runs on my setup...
i5 2500
GTX 680
16 GB RAM
I believe I should be able to run this at recommended settings... hopefully...

Yes disable SLI. Having Physx settings set to auto should automatically use your 2nd gpu for physx. You can tell by where the arrow is pointing. You can also manually set it to your (2) gpu.
You dont need more than that.

V-Sync off and borderless window feels a little bit smoother, but I still experience heavy framerate drops (R9 290).
Yep lol.

Game is running decently for me, though an occasional frame-dipping. Average is 75 FPS with everything maxed except for smoke and debris.
In game performance is certainly worse, FPS is around the late 50s based on RTSS.

Fuck, I just bought this from GMG and I have a 970. Now i'm instantly annoyed.
These bad performance issues are with the day one patch, or is that just for consoles?

We don't know if there is one on PC. Though if they released a game in half of the world without an important patch, that would be hilarious.

Yep same here, on a 980. There are still substantial framerate drops but they don't seem to be a severe.
Good luck with that lol
