You could have put this in the main thread..
It has some performance issues but I think your PC would power through it anyway, especially at 1080p.
Fantastic game though, I do love it.

My crappy i7 4771 and 8Gb 480 run it at 3840x2160 locked at 30FPS with Ultra settings, surprised the 970 can't match it unless it's a VRAM thing.
At worst I'd say you'd be fine at 1080P Ultra settings at 30FPS.

No it isn't. I get around 40-50 for the most part at 1440p on my 390X. It does dip though sometimes into the 30s.
No, but weirdly 1080P uncapped results in 45-60FPS for me. Frame rate drops enough to be problematic when racing.
Up it to 3840x2160 and lock it at 30FPS and it's buttery smooth. Some people say they experience lag at 30FPS but I can't say that I've noticed it at all.
Far better experience for me locked at 30FPS with much prettier graphics.
I'm waiting til the performance issues get ironed out so that it can run at a *reasonably* constant 60fps on a GTX970. I dont at all need Ultra everything settings and I know Ultra textures wont be on the cards, but that's fine. I just want the performance to be there with decent settings.
If it never gets fixed and I'm forced to run it at a capped 30fps, then I'm going to wait til it's much cheaper.

its a lot of money to be running it at 30 fps. its the sort of game where the more fps the better. its like I had to unlock dead rising at it was harder to play at 30fps and it dipped like hell in crowded areas.
the 970 is a great card - I can run gta5 ultra at 60(vsync) off v sync is gets 80/90

I'm generally able to hold 60fps at 1440p almost maxed with MSAAx8 (shadows and dynamic geometry on high, the rest cranked all the way up) but drops to 45 in parts of Surfers are unavoidable. There's noticeable stuttering there as well. The last time I've played the game, I got occasional two-second freezes in Surfers, never happened before. Other parts of the map sit at 60fps with fairly rare drops to 55-57 and maybe an occasional stutter (usually on the main lane in the town near Byron Bay). Low priority/disabling core 0 fix is a must.
I use MSAAx8 because, weirdly enough, it gives me slightly better frames and less stuttering. This game's engine is just borked and UWP adds its own share of issues, I reckon.
Not something I'd expect from a game sold at 80 quid for the Ultimate edition that still doesn't give you all the content.

I got the Ultimate and was slightly miffed about the quality of the release but you should have no problems at 30fps. I tried that and while it feels like it's in slow motion (too used to 30fps), it doesn't drop or stutter. Thankfully, the 1070/4790k can power through the issues and more or less hold 60fps outside certain parts of Surfers.
I'd grab a couple of cheaper Live cards and redeem them on Windows Store. That way you'll be able to save a bit on the Ultimate, if you're absolutely set on it. Frankly, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better game for car enthusiasts.
I gte piad next Friday so I may buy it. I loved forza 3 and 4 ( preordered it) and horizon 1 and 2 were great
