Yes but it's not like there are a lot of options which would be noticeably faster.

But are we factoring in overclocking? Can an oc'd 3770k can still bottleneck a 1070?
Sure it can, almost any game really -- just run it at 1280x720.
What I'm trying to say is that bottlenecks are highly game-specific and situational, and almost everything can bottleneck almost everything else if you try hard enough.

Well, playing in 4k with everything at highest no Supersampling gets me sub 30fps (4790k@4.2ghz, 1080GTX, 16GB 2133hnz RAM, SSD).
I usually play at 50fps where possible (long story) and most maps are fine if I turn pixel rendering down to 70-80. However on the couple of maps with rain, lots of AI and smoke/trees etc I need to go to 50-55 pixel rendering.
That said it looks pretty good and only one crash when changing resolution. No judder or stutter at all (for once).

Sure. I've had 3820 till last June and I've seen almost universal - albeit not huge - gains from upgrading to 6850K in 1080p on my old 980Ti which is pretty close to what you have with 3770 and 1070.
As Durante said, CPU bottleneck is something which is completely settings/game dependent. Some games are bottlenecked even by something like 6950K (arguably more games are bottlenecked by it than 7700K because of its lower frequency) - it depends on what games you play and what settings you use. With DSR 4x or SGSSAA 8x you can still be bottlenecked by GPU even in pretty old titles.

Actually, scratch that I had Supersampling on by mistake. I can get 50fps@4K on most maps or very close to it but the Story mission (attacking Japanese beach for example) brings it down to -40fps.
The only graphic glitch I've seen it the water reflecting a weird blue light on some maps. Apart from that it's solid.

I swear driver v-sync has less lag than the game's own.
Also, for some reason using RTSS fps lock in conjunction with driver adaptive v-sync causes stuttering for me. Needs turning off.
The watery forest map + dynamic reflections is a real big hit to the framerate also.

These are way lower than the beta version on the last page, correct?
They're somewhat lower, but I wouldn't read into it as the launch build doesn't have a benchmark tool and the author chose an area that is more demanding than others.

Seems so but most (all?) benchmarks of the release version were done on a different sequence compared to the beta one so it's hard to compare them directly.

Unless the beta performance was worse than the final game, I don't know how you're getting a solid 60FPS at those settings. I have a 980ti and 6700k and I had to drop down to high for most stuff at 1080p and I still had drops.
FX6300+RX470, stable 60fps at highest settings, but it makes the card go 66c, which I do not like, so I put it down to lows, where the card never goes above 62c.
Benchmark says 90-100 average on high settings, 140+ on low settings, if I remember properly. It is surprisingly okay for something that starts with an NVIDIA splash
What? 66 degrees c is still pretty low and more than fine.
Getting 33-40 fps on 4k/Insane Settings
Getting a very solid 60fps on 1440p/Insane Settings (higher but capped it for smoothness to match my refresh rate).
Outside of the Division, I find that most Ubisoft games on PC have excellent SLI support and are well optimized.

Game runs great on my PC FPS-wise, get 80-100 FPS most of the time with everything on extreme.

My main problem is that after playing for awhile I get this annoying stutter, and it gets worse the more I play. If I restart the game it resets and everything is fine again for awhile, then the stuttering slowly starts coming back.

Is there a way to display FPS count in For Honor ?
Fraps & MSI/RTSS aren't working :/

^ steam in-game browser works for me. Maybe add it via non-steam game shortcut if you have a uPlay copy.
Any reason to continue holding off the new nvidia drivers?
I don't have an issue with the game on my 980ti, runs great at 1440p extreme settings (about 90fps), but you know, I like to keep it up-to-date...
Is everyone avoiding them?

At 1080p with 30% Render Scaling, SS AA on and everything maxed the benchmark never dips below 60fps. The only time I've seen it dip is on the forest level with bots fighting in the water. The benchmark can be erratic. If you reset your settings, re-do them and run it again, it might shoot up.
It 100% absolutely does have a benchmark tool. If it's not showing for you then that's a bug. I'll post a pic when I get home.
Nvidia's driver Vsync is generally always preferable (I can't comment on AMD).
Why use adaptive?

i7 4790k

Win10
At max settings(sans supersampling) game runs at roughly 50-60ish which is great, but lurches down to 40ish when it rains.
Busting down Shadows to "High" and nixxing Dynamic Reflections pushes the rainy areas back up over 60fps. In non-rainey weather, it's roughly 70fps-ish.
Ubisoft sure makes some good ass running non-open world games.

The game is using EAC again like WD2, is it? If yes then you have to use the version of RTSS which is whitelisted by them - AFAIK 6.5.0 is but latest 6.6.0 may yet not be.
No reason to holding off anything, the latest hotfix fixed the only widespread issue which R378 introduced for 980Ti owners.

I remember playing the closed beta and this game ran at max settings at 1080 with a pretty much locked 60fps on my rig.
i5 6600k, 970 and 16GB DDR4 at 2400Mhz. This is not the case anymore?

Uplay has an option within its settings-menu to enable a framerate-counter in games.

I just fiddled around with the settings and the integrated benchmark, a few observations:
Dynamic reflections have by far the biggest impact on performance, after resolution obviously. Turning it off improved the framerate by ~33% without a visual difference.
MHBAO seems to darken less than HBAO+ while delivering basically the same performance. Even turning off AO completely brings in less than 10%, so leave that on if possible.
Super Sampling ramps up the resolution to 5k when using a 1440p display. Great thing here: when you change the render scaling you can see on the right side exactly which resolution the game will render internally. Every game needs this!
All the other settings have such a minor impact on performance it's not even worth mentioning.
Keep in mind, all of this is only an observation usingthe benchmark scene, so in game things might be different.
Tested on i7-3770 4.1 GHz, 16Gig Ram, GTX 1070.

It makes a big difference to the water, like the shallow pools you fight in on the forest level. Maybe not worth it though.

It's a nitpick; but I kinda wish there was an option for even higher resolution textures. Some things, large rocks and the female wardens hair for instance, can look a bit rough up close. And when the rest of the game looks quite stunning, it sticks out.
I'd say there's a good chance of a high-res texture pack in the near future as Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry Primal and Rainbow Six: Siege all have one.

That'd be cool. Concidering how well they've targeted 2GB VRAM, a texture pack could aim for 4GB cards.
But I guess if there's one part of the graphical makeup that could do with some improvement, it's the fire effects. And that could get intensive.
Thanks, downloading now.

Do you not have the option here?
Nope. Maybe something went awry and I was given an old build. I've encountered that once before with The Witcher 2 and didn't realise it until I reached Flotsam and began wondering why I couldn't find the Troll Trouble side-quest that was added with v1.2.
