In benchmarks, 980Ti was beasting on Hyper, with a nice min 56fps at 1440p. So logically 1070 will fly.

Yeah, you're lying. DF tried to get the game running on hyper with a 970@1080p and got 15fps.

That site never bothered getting any newer AMD cards. It's probably one of those diva sites that refuses to review cards they don't get for free.
He's not lying; the game is.
Welcome to PC gaming where people can have twin PCs and have completely different performance

How come?
There is a GPU limitation settings which changes detail level dynamically depending on card power and VRAM.
DF originally tested with this on and was wondering why GTX970 beat the 390 8GB so badly, then they went back to re-test.

YEAH, different performance but not THAT much different.
Hmm weird thing.
So I read, the 970 can't have hyper at its fullest because it craps its pants.

you have to untick the gpu memory box or a 970 will not run hyper settings
Now that I've been playing this a bit, I've found that on my 980, I'm pretty happy playing it at 1440p 80% resolution scale on Ultra with the GPU memory limiter off (again, fixing the very frequent low res textures).
Playing natively at 1440p wasn't quiiiite smooth enough for me and I didn't feel like dropping things to High.

Very interesting honestly how the graphics scale.

So um, what's the point in even playing the game on 4 GB GPUs with such terrible "Ultra" textures and all? Thank god I didn't bought the game and now I will only buy it when I get 8 GB (or more) GPU (which won't be happening any time soon).

Last patch finally fixed the hilariously messed up cutscenes for me.
Why does this game stutter so damn much? I have a GTX 1070 8 GB, an Intel 2500 stock (non-k) and 16 GB of DDR3 RAM. Even installed on the SSD it stutters. I tried disabling the pagefile and it still stutters. I play at 1440p, initially I tried Hyper settings but I turned it down to ultra. The game runs at a rock solid 60 FPS but whenever it feels like it it suddenly stutters, it does a super annoying pause, then continues. I know my CPU isn't on par with my GPU but none of the CPU cores is reaching 100℅ (they hover around 75-85℅ most of the time) load and it's just stuttering, the game runs at 60 FPS otherwise. What's going on with this game?
The game is a huge RAM hog. Do you have Google Chrome or anything which sucks a lot of RAM open at the same time? Could be parts where the game is loading stuff into and out of memory it hits a bottleneck. In my case, if I run the game with Chrome open, the FPS is far lower and I get nasty stutters. If I shut down Chrome it's like 90FPS and smooth the entire time. My specs are 16GB RAM, a 1080 and an i5 4690k.

Will I get any benefit in running on hyper settings on a 980ti which has 6gb ram?
I'm still managing 60fps at 1080p with no stuttering.
