Tested on the office rig:
i5 4590 @ 3.5GHz
24GB of DDR 1600
GTX 960 4GB OC 1.45GHz
1080p, high preset, frame smoothing enabled, getting ~50ish fps in non-city busy areas, 55-70 in races depending on types.
I don't even dare touching the city.

i5 2500k at 4.1ghz
980 at stock
Installed on Conventional Drive
8GB of DDR3.
getting between 45-60fps on the medium preset.
I might need to add another 8gb of ram to this machine, but it seems like we are CPU bottlenecked right?

My game crashes at the playgrounds games logo load screen. Anyone else having this issue?

Hmmm. Not really having many of the issues others but I have a weird issue with this.
Getting pixelation on the right side of the screen only when the game is playable (not during cutscenes). I changed the resolution to 2560x1440 and it was gone. So far I've disabled SLI and ran the GPU at stock settings and no change other than the obvious decrease in fps. I booted up DOOM, Rocket League & Assetto Corsa just to see if it happened in other games that support 21:9 and it doesn't. No idea what causes this. :/

It's not your gpu or anything. it's the game. It's happening to everyone else who is using 21:9 in this game.

Any reports from 970 owners? I have a 970/3770k and 16 gig ram. Not gonna pull the trigger just yet but I'm itching to try this.
Maybe I'll just wait for the demo.

Staying solid at 60, but haven't hit Surfers Paradise yet to see if I get any drops.
It's locked up once and I'm not seeing any of my notifications in game (achievements/invites).

Welp, got rid of the stuttering on my system-- just took disabling MSAA and FXAA. FXAA has less stutter but still there. Of course this isnt an optimal solution, hopefully they can figure out why its happening.
Running at 3440x1440, Titan XP, everything else ultra
This only happens to me with dynamic quality settings on.

Definitely wait for the demo, lots of people are reporting wildly different performance.

I'd say waiting for the demo is the way to go for anyone who hasn't bought the game yet...that's what I'm doing
if the demo runs like trash for me then I know not to worry about getting the game
I7-6820HK @ 2.7ghz
1070+8G
16G 2400DDR4
Framerate is all over place
1440p- 40-59 fps
1080p- 45-68 fps
I'm leaving my preset framerate at 38 fps for now. I get less artifacting, micro-stutter etc... when I set things to 1080p high settings 38fps (though ultra is playable at 32-36fps) the game runs sufficiently.
Bottom line, we're going to need some patches.

Update your GPU drivers?
So, for me as an i7-4790K owner the situation is clear. I'll wait with my purchase until HT is working properly, from what I'm reading here.
Or even until Microsoft releases it on Steam. Fuck UWP.
EDIT: How is the game running with only 8 GB of RAM, by the way? I remember having hitching issues with Apex.

Four some reason 4x msaa caused the issue. I set it to 8x and it's gone now. Thanks!

I have a i7 6700k @ 4.6, 16GB of ram and a OC'd Pascal Titan X.. and it recommended me for medium.. don't feel bad
I'm having a lot of stuttering but RAM usage never went over 7295mb according to Afterburner.

Kept all my settings at the same level as my highest test so far on my gaming laptop, but just disabled MSAA and now getting 60fps constantly, but the jaggies and shimmering are quite noticeable. I'm wondering if it might be more effective for me to downsample from 1440p or maybe try to force 3rd party MSAA via the nVidia control panel... Which I can never remember how to do since it feels a bit arcane in the control panel-- if someone could remind me that'd be awesome!? To clarify, I remember how to downsample and unlock higher resolutions but I don't remember how to enable MSAA via control panel.
EDIT: and yes I know MSAA is usually quite demanding but I had hoped 2X in-game would still go fine with FXAA thrown on top just for extra measure... Wonder if Horizon 3's implementation is extra stressful on GPU/CPU for some reason?

Wait, that solves the issue with Apex? I guess I'll have to download the game again to try it. Because I tried it after months like two days ago and it still had that issue.
Fucking L-O-L if Horizon has that same issue. It's like they didn't do anything from that "beta" release beyond putting wheel support in. :/
21:9 user as well here and getting the pixelization bug issue on right side of screen. Next time I boot the game I will try to disable Dynamic Optimization and see if it clears the issue up as others have stated.
Otherwise, playing on Ultra and I have not seen the game dip below 60fps yet. Though I have yet to enter the city areas, still doing tutorial-ish race events.

I have a 4670k and a 1060, so pretty similar to you. Will be interested to hear how it performs for you before I drop any cash

GTX 970
i7 4770k
Game defaulted to 4k resolution and 30fps for some reason. Changed that to turn Vsync off with no framerate cap.
Game runs at a pretty constant 60fps. Is that the framerate limit? I noticed it let's me select 144hz with Vsync on, but I don't really ever see it go all that far above 60fps. Maybe like 64fps on occasion.
Also, what is this framerate smoothing? Without it on, the game is really choppy, but with it on, the fame feels almost like... There's a lot of rubber-banding or something? I've never had this happen in a game before.
Updated GPU drivers and everything.
Is it worthwhile to reinstall this game on an SSD? Currently have it on an HDD.
On an unrelated note, this game feels more like a sim than the arcade racer the last game felt like.

That's my system! So no stuttering then?
Nope, but some dips to about 55 are appearing. Looks and plays great though.
Am I the only one having no major issues with the game?
Running everything Ultra at 3440x1440 with 8X MSAA and FXAA. Dynamic optimization off. Fluctuates between 70-100fps. GSYNC smooths everything out.
I was having the pixelation issues on 21:9 with 2XMSAA, but upping to 8X got rid of it.

All is well on my end now since the pixelation issue was removed by going to 8X.

Nice. I have pretty much the exact same setup.

I am noticing that even with my overclocked 6 core Intel, I am getting 96% CPU utilization in urban environments. Something is definitely wrong.
Do you have it enabled for windowed mode in the Nvidia Control panel?
Nice. Glad it worked for you.

Getting around 70-90 FPS (depending on the local) at 4K on Max setting with 8x MSAA. I see no change in FPS when I lower MSAA. Seems strange. I feel like this game is have some CPU issues moreso than anything.
Car models look pretty good, but not as good as what Project CARS 2 has with their ridiculous detailing on their more complete cars in the current build. But this game does allow for customization which really made my day. I was not expecting that.

There's a horrible low res filter that blurs and kind of pixelates the image in photomode on PC. The photos I've taken on Xbone look clearer and sharper, what the fuck...I'm running it at 1440p/Ultra/8x MSAA on PC, it looks great during gameplay but photomode ruins the image quality.
The grill and the lights are where it's most noticeable....

Running on ultra and I capped it at 36fps so when I switch to Xbox it won't feel like crap. Getting steady 36fps, sometimes it stutters but it's not bad, frames have dropped to like 30 when driving in a new area for a second or so. Good enough for me tbh, hope everyone is enjoying it!

Lovely and smooth in the countryside on ultra but passing through urban areas has a clear effect on the framerate, I'm guessing I shouldn't be having problems with this setup?
Also I might as well ask here, what is the directory for Windows 10 games? I wouldn't mind deleting my save and starting over if possible...(especially after getting the apparent bug which doles out 999,999,999 credits on the first roll of the wheel)

Photo mode for me looks ugly as well.

Should I even bother with this game? I have an i3 6100 + GTX770. Don't think my machine is powerful enough to run it!
