Currently at launch the game is pretty much not optimized. I am running an i7-8700k and a GTX 1080Ti For some ungodly reason instead of utilizing the GPU it used about 2% of it and instead decides to bottleneck on the CPU at a 100%. Normally this would indicate a CPU bottleneck and you should be upgrading your CPU. Here is the big but; BUT my specs (for both my CPU and GPU, and pretty much everything else) are far above what was reccomended, and even the recently newly adjusted reccomendations. Changing graphics settings doesn't do a thing; the game runs at a consistent below 40 frames (dipping to the low 20's in open city areas, which is most of the game) weather I have all my settings at the highest they can be, or the lowest of the lows. At both ends of the settings spectrum my CPU is being used 100% and my GPU isn't being utlized at all. I also set the crowd desnity to as low as it could go, that in turn also didn't do a thing. After reading up online this seems to be a common problem with people running different types of i7 CPU's and a Nvidia graphics card (from what I've seen all the way from a low 970, to people with 2080's). Meanwhile a friend of mine who also got the game is running it on the same CPU as me, with a 1060 without having this issue. For now I'm leaving it here since the game is in essence unplayable. I will be checking in daily to see if the game has been patched and if so will test to see if it now works properly. Once it does I will adjust this review and it's score to show that since what I have played of the game so far (first half hour to an hour or so) has been super fun despite these issues. TL:DR; Buying this game whilst you have a nvidia card currently seems to be a 50/50 weather or not it works. I'll update if the issue gets patched.
