I have a 980ti (so basically a 1070) and I posted earlier about my similar experience:
I'll probably go the 4k at 75% stalling maxed route since like you said, the 55-60 fps probably ain't going to hold in chapter 3 and beyond.

Was anyone else's jaw on the floor when they first went to the Duscae region? The PC version already blew away the console version, but seeing Duscae with al the settings maxed out on the PC version has been incredible! It looks so far and above the console version that it's crazy.
That's how I felt when I saw Duscae for the first time on ps4pro. Excited to see it on my gtx 1070.
While some enjoyed the lighting of Duscae in the old Console demo more than the final product in the game, the overall aesthetic in the final Console version was much better
Seriously?
If that's the case then I'm happy with I'm getting. Specs are below but running the game on Average with models pushed to high and geo on. I left the FPS at 60fps but I'm normally moving between high 30s in combat and the 40s and 50s every other time. I could lock it to 30 but I don't mind the changes. I might eventually just it down though. I think I have FXAA on instead of the other but don't remember.
FX-8320 3.5ghz
1060 3GB
16Gb Ram
Just like with the demo I could push things on High but it's just not worth it to me. For the little change I see or know is happening it's not worth the game dropping to single digits or struggling to reach high 20s. If I'm hitting PS4 Pro levels on Average then good. I'd rather have the ground tessellation settings on and higher overall frame rate then the game looking even just a bit more prettier.
Yeah, I think the only real option for 1070s is to lock the frame rate to 30. Frame rate absolutely tanks in Chapter 3, nothing I did could maintain a steady 60fps.
I have the same gfx card, but on a i7700k 4.5, ssd evo nvme, 16gb ram 4000. The game runs like ass for me. I have no choice but to get a 1080ti once i get my tax return next month. I wont be playing it until then.
Thanks! Forgot how comparable the 980ti and 1070 were. Gonna give these a go when I get back to the port. I'd be happier with 60FPS+visual downgrades if it were more consistent, but locked (or mostly locked) 30+visual upgrades would still be a huge improvement over the PS4/Pro versions.
Turn TRAM and shadows down to high.
How are you isolating Denuvo? Are you actually profiling, or does the Windows Store version really not have Denuvo (even then, how can you distinguish from the Steam API overhead)? (I'm sure it'll be explained in the article, but I'm curious now about how you're approaching the evaluation.)
Did you turn off ShadowLibs as well (that wasn't supported in the demo either).
The demo had the hi-spec assets included, so assuming you had the assets option on, there shouldn't be any real difference.
TRAM is a reserve for texture streaming. You'll want it on high (with 6GB, highest will claim most of your VRAM for the streaming cache, and everything else will have to fight over the small bit that's left).
PC Steam: When I start the game up, my mouse is in the middle of the screen. This is an issue when I decide to boot up and play in my living room with my Steam Link and I'm not using a Steam Controller to move the mouse out of the way. I end up having to walk into my office and move the mouse pointer down to the bottom left of the screen otherwise it never hides and stays on my screen even though I'm playing with a controller.
Anyone else experience this and know how to fix it so the mouse pointer goes away automatically when using controller?

Happens everyone because you have to press F1 toggle showing the mouse cursor.
By design. I know, it's bizzare.
Its so stupid we can't have a windows feature to hide the mouse cursor when its inactive
Shadowlibs werent working in the demo despite being On?
Well, that could be it.
As far as I know, ShadowLibs and VXAO were disabled (the configuration options didn't actually do anything).
I think there was some way to enable VXAO, but it required more than just messing with the INI.
I would recommend average, at least to start.
After you get a feel for the performance, you can try bumping it up to high to see if it has any negative effect. (At the end of the day, the only real difference will be how long it takes textures to stream in, since there will be much less cached on average than on high.)
Thanks. I did notice some weird texture streaming on Noctis' shirt at Hammerhead. Gonna see what I can do once I'm at my computer later.
Does anyone have an idea how I can bind Ansel or ALT+F2 to my controller? Want it on my DPad... want to do screenshots during the action but letting go of the controller to do the input on the keyboard is dumb.
Cutscenes are weird in this game. The one where the King tells Noctis "It's time to go" at the very beginning of the game was running in slow motion for me.
"That problem is easily mistaken for Denuvo, but emphatically has nothing to do with Denuvo."
What are you talking about? It has nothing to do with Denuvo.
EDIT: ah I see it now, my bad. Didn't look closely enough at the overlay. Does he mention this having anything to do with performance and what the key deletion even does?
Mine are running at super speed for some reason. It's really strange
I can't recall if Pro used lower settings than Xbox One C but the X version isn't just using average - some settings are in the high range. It's better than you'd think.
The framepacing at 30fps seems poor, 60fps is fine at 1080p but I'd like to try running at 1440p 30 maxed but the mild stutter is putting me off
Basically I rebought this game because I gave up on it due to it's framepacing issues on my Pro.
I played the first two chapters at 60 fps with no pacing issues. Get to Chapter 3, no way to maintain 60 fps. I lock it at 30fps and I get framepacing issues.
Fuck.

Yeah even with a 1080FE/6700K, there are just enough issues that I'm gonna put it on ice until A) modders get some time in it and B) whatever new NV cards are out.
As is, TAA smears everything noticeably, even at 1440p. Looks much better at 4K but locked 60 is no shot (and I'm still in starting area, not even Duscae where it gets worse). Foliage seems almost like somethings wrong if you don't have NV turf stuff on, and that's an FPS drain, and then I keep seeing posts about VRAM maxing out and stuttering.
I swear, almost release by release, I am more and more convincing myself to never, ever buy PC games at launch. If I had a Titan XP and could brute force most of these issues, maybe, but as it stands, it's kind of a bummer.
E: Oh yeah and the thing with framerate permanently tanking after summons? I've seen that a couple places too.

Are you both using the in game frame limiter or a 3rd party? It seems to work better with Riva for example.
Yeah try Rivatuner guys. 90% of the time you can't really trust in game limiters to keep good frame pacing.
I used in game, dxtory and rtss. All of them have pacing issues.
Try setting it higher in game and only cap with Rivatuner. I recall people in the beta having more success with 120 in game / 30 with Riva than they did with 30 / 30.
the weird part is the 60fps ingame limit is nice and smooth but the 30fps mode looks awful, gonna try out rivatuner anyway :)
Such a great tool, very easy to use. But damn, I'm never going to finish the game now.
Using Kaldaien's Frame Limiter in Special K gave me a locked 30FPS. It doesn't even fluctuate down into the 20s anymore and the game has completely stopped hitching. I don't know what kind of magic he used, but damn it's nice. Smooth fully maxed gameplay at 4K@30FPS.

Yeah, that.
Ended up cancelling my order after a bit of research and will hold out till later in the year for the replacements.
I'm in Australia so everything is insanely priced all the time but I was looking at AUD $1300 and hoped my 1080 would go for around half that to Part fund it.
Not worth the hassle just for the sake of this game as the 1080 handles everything else jjne fine.
YOLO moment over. Back to BAU...
The only way I've been able to get stable frame-times at 30fps is to use Nvidia Half-Rate v-sync or adaptive v-sync. That's the ONLY thing that solved it.
Not viable for AMD owners, though, unfortunately.
Oh interesting. I'll have to try that. I downloaded it as a hitching fix and didn't even realize there was a frame limiter in there.
Dark1x Maybe give the above a shot and see if it solves the framepacing issue too.
What exactly are all your settings? What is vsync and frame limit set in-game? Do you not use RTSS/DXtory at all?
High res pack, everything maxed out. Ended up just turning off hairworks, shadow libs and turf effects, left everything else at max. Frame rate is much more bearable now. Sticks closer to 60 most of the time, instead of dipping to 40fps in more demanding areas (hairworks with garulas everywhere is a bad idea).
Something else I noticed, ground textures at a gas station kept dropping and increasing in quality with TRAM set to high. Didn't occur when set to highest.

i don't get this, i tried so many pc games @ 30fps on my 4k TV, but it looks so freakin awful everytime, it gives me headaches, it looks nowhere as good as 30fps console games....
or are you guys playing on 120hz or more monitors via 4k downsampling?
probably because of motion blur, ac origins is super smooth for me on pc with half refresh vsync
Is hairworks even worth having on? I have a 1070sc and i5 3 I get like 60 to 40 fps. The nvidia settings put everything on high or highest but suggests to turn off hairworks. The only noticeable drops was the second area Duscae.
I had to change my T.V.s video processing settings to stop my game from looking so jittery. It was especially bad on FMV playbacks on this game.
I'm posting a video up right now in 4K showing off Kaldaien's frame rate limiter. I forgot to pull up my menu to show my setting but it's all maxed 100% scaling @ 4K. I have the game set to 120FPS and limit it to 30FPS..
On a side note does this game support HDR?
vega 64 v 1080 v 1080ti
im curious how amd and nvidia would compare in the later chapters where the grass gets kicked up to high gear

I set the in-game to 30fps + Nvidia half-rate. That's it. RTSS isn't needed for this.
Frame pacing is even using these settings then. Without this, however, it's just as you say - horrible. Worse than PS4, actually. A lot worse. The in-game cap does not work well.
Sure does! Just need to make sure you toggle HDR on in Windows prior to launching the game.
