From what I'm reading, the updated Nvidia drivers fixes some of the stuttering but drops the average frame times to what you're seeing on the recent chart.
So you basically have to pick your poison at the moment. Higher FPS? Or smoother gameplay?

4K. Can't run the game in any other resolution. Also, from what I've read, games don't even use higher than 8-bit anyway. Higher is for photos and UHD content.

Getting these exact same issues. Sometimes it will lag and stay suspended for about 3 seconds. It normally runs at 60fps but these stutters are really killing it for me.

Wow, game runs bad on my GTX 970, i5-4670k@4.0ghz and 8 GB RAM combo at 1440p. Can't get it to run smoothly under any circumstances. Not sure about upgrading drivers either as I'm hearing mixed things.

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
Ugh. I'm not even going to make it 5 minutes in. I'm going to wait till a real driver/patch is implemented that doesn't make playing the game on an HDR screen an absolute black crush nightmare. Seriously, the opening sequence is not supposed to be nothing but black and orange at dusk time, is it?

Game runs perfectly fine for me @1080 with all maxed, MSAA and 1.3 internal rez scaling.
6700k + 16g + 1070 mini + SSD. No stutter, buttery smooth, perfect. And the game is just a blast, I'm loving it.

I'm having the same issue with my GTX 1060 6GB; the game is using the whole VRAM and although I'm getting a perfect 60fps there's some bothersome stuttering every now and then and ultimately the whole game crashes.
WTF Capcom?! The past RE games were amazingly optimized on PC.
Same, 60FPS Stable but with some stutters and without the crashes. But its not acceptable that the game is eating my whole vram the whole time.
No wonder performance took a nosedive lol. That is weird, but now going back to medium settings, things are running normal now.

And that's the error message that appears upon the game crashing:
Could it be related to the VRAM?
Yeah I had the same issue.
I first had it when I past the
Family Dinner
Restarting solves it though, so it must be some kind of leak.

Turning off shadow cache and putting shadows on high fixed it for me, if I put it on very high I get stutter.
Almost exactly what my stuff is, except I have a GTX 1080 and I'm running it on my HDD. Though I have seen some stutters randomly but they fix themselves pretty fast so it's not a big deal to me.
I have already done both.
Same card, had to turn textures to high to make the game playable.
The dinner scene at the beginning is completely bugged. I restarted the checkpoint multiple times and even reloaded the save in the attic prior but nothing's changed. Anyone know about this?
edit: Also, this game refuses to close on steam. I've had to shutdown steam via task manager twice just to get it to stop "running" (RE7 doesn't actually show up in task manager)

So if/when I get this game, on my 1070 should I just go ahead and pump it up to 1440p (at 60fps)?
By the way, with these new games that offer resolution scaling, from 1080p, what additional ratios correspond to 1440p and 4k respectively?
Edit: So if you're playing at 1080p, 1440p is 133% right? Is 4k 200% or something else?

Just played for an hour straight without a hitch.

Specs:
i7 6700k
2x1080's SC
32GB DDR4
So.....getting an insane amount of flickering just in the title screen. All I've done is update to the newest drivers and set the SLI Bits in Nvidia Inspector to the Battlefield 1 profile which seems to work because I see both GPU's putting in work.
Everything maxed out in 4k Windowed, reflections set to variable but it's flickering so bad I can't even play. Any suggestions? Maybe I've got something on that shouldn't be?
EDIT - Looking at the .ini I see that HDR refuses to turn off. Anyone experience this? This has to be the issue. I'm on a 4K Monitor, no HDR:
HDRMode=1
Tried setting it to 0 but it reverts. Tried deleting it, which sticks but still HORRIBLE flickering. Just going into the menu's it flickers about 100x in 10 seconds.
EDIT 2 - It was the SLI Bits I was using. Changing them around fixed it initially but seeing a small amount 10 mins into the game. Going to play around with it and see what happens.

My game crashed right after I cam out of that scene as well. Also happened the first time I was watching the dinner scene. Game still would appear on screen with sound but was unresponsive. Hasn't happened since I turned shadows down to high and turned shadow cache off.

Am I really the only one using a PC monitor to have the HDR options not grayed out? Really confused by this now...

970
I5 6500
16gb
Getting solid 60 an hr in.
Mix of high/VH settings
Im fearing a tank in performance if theres a mem leak
Edit: i took 2 settings to VH and my fps tanked to 30-40.
Took em back to high and at 60 again.
I need my 1070 already lol

Using a i5 and 970. Game is unplayable for me. Everything was perfect until I got to the dinner scene. The whole area runs horribly. There are certain corners that will consistently cause extreme hitching. Not just a few dropped frames, it freezes up like the game is crashing. When I get attacked by the guy that follows you around, it becomes an unmanageable slideshow. Even in empty rooms, turning around causes the game to chug like it's dying. Messing with settings did nothing. I've decided to just shelve the game until it gets patched. As a huge RE fan, this is really disappointing.
What's weird is that the first section of the game (the demo stuff) was perfect. It wasn't until I hit that dinner scene that everything went to shit.

This is the exact same experience I am having. If I turn all settings to medium the performance gets substantially better, but still not perfect.

Yeah, I posted that before I read the last page of posts. At least we have solidarity.
With so many people having the same issues, I imagine it'll be patched soon. Just a bummer that I have to continue dodging spoilers. I'm going into this blind with the exception of the demo, and even the thumbnail from the Giant Bomb quick look showed something I haven't gotten to (that looked interesting).

I have had a flawless experience so far.
I have been playing for about 3 hours. With a solid 60fps@1440p and 16ms frametimes.
I have a
6600K@4.2GHz
1070 GTX@1950MHz
16GB DDR4@2400
GPU usage has hit around 85% at most. I didn't test a lot, but I was getting between 140fps and 116fps( @1080p) in the very opening of the game with both new and old drivers.
I am using max settings with variable reflections, VSync with variable frame rate, but locked at 60fps with Riva Tuner.
Huh? I haven't kept up with the thread but I managed a 120-144fps (with it usually hovering closer to 144) experience at almost max settings. Other than some weird alt-tabbing and keyboard not working fuckery, performance wise it's pretty good. I have a 980Ti/6700K, but I'm not on the latest GPU drivers.
Setting shadows to high instead of very high is the biggest performance boost I can remember.

Hmm I was about to suggest that maybe it was a memory problem for sub 8GB cards(not that it should matter). I have had zero problems and I am way past the dinner scene. Did you turn off shadow caching as has been suggested? Maybe others have not.
What's your CPU,GPU ect..
I did not turn off shadow caching and I have finished the game, performance improved the further I got.

Cool
That's a 4GB card. Have you tried lowering texture settings? I saw your other thread. 4K plus high texture settings might be a bit much for 4GB of ram on this game.

Not everyone has bad performance.

Pretty much at the minimum spec range, but was hoping the game would at least play, lol.
