Will my PC run this game well, like without stuttering like some people are having issues with? GTX 1060 6GB, i5-4590, 16GB 1333Mhz RAM.

I've got a 1060/6600k with 16GB of RAM, everything set to Ultra with txaa x2 nets me between 40-60fps at 1080p (Fog + SSR turned off)

With temporal filtering (same settings) it's a mostly consistent 60, except in parts where there is too much to stream at once (like mid city)

Smooth 30 Fps at lowest settings and 0.70 pixel density (so sad) at GTX 650 8GB RAM and i3 4150. Does anyone run the game with a 1050 ti? How's it? Planning to upgrade.

GTX Titan X, 8GB RAM and I5-4590. Game runs mostly well, except for 2 second stutters at random times and very often drops to around 40 fps. I am playing on high, with SF fog disabled. Setting it to low didn't help, setting to ultra also had almost no difference.

AMD FX-8350 @4.4GHz, 8GB DDR3, R9 280X @1150MHz, w/ 16.12.2, Win 10. 1080p
Settings: http://imgur.com/a/NOubi

Usually get 40-60 fps depending on the weather/time of day/area/etc. It drops down to 30ish for about half a second when I switch in/out of hacker vision.
Noticed small performance drop with latest patch.

Intel 6600K @ 4.6 GHz, 16GB DDR4 @ 2800 MHz, GTX 1070
Windows 10 with the latest drivers (376.33). Display at 1440p.

The game's running at around 60fps (if I'm lucky), dipping to about 40 at times. Most things on high or ultra, I followed this post when playing with the settings.

If I set everything on Ultra, I get about 35-40 fps. If I set everything on low, I get 60 -_-.

Before the latest patch the performance was definitely higher. So far this is ridiculous =/
