Here’s the ‘benchmark’ of my system - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3BUP6nbelQ
The video shows the path I ran to get the results and how each of the different graphic presets performed.
Specs
Intel i7-4930k @ 4.4GHz
AMD R9 295x2 (Crossfire disabled)
16GB DD3 1866 Memory
Windows 8.1
FX-8120 4.4GHz
HD7870
8GB 1333Mhz
always 1920x1080 FS
low ~35-60
normal ~30-40
high ~ 25-35
very high ~20-30
it usually sits around the lower number when I’m in the village.
That’s “unpossible”, sir.
Overclocked R9 280 3Gb should be able to achieve much more than 7870.
No bottlenecks 99% GPU usage.
Running fine on ‘Very High’, Full screen
i5 3570K@4.2 GHz (cooled by Corsair Hydro H100)
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600
Nvidia GTX 680 Lightning@1.3 GHz (cooled by Twin Frozr II)
Seagate Momentus Hybrid HDD/SSD (planning on installing it on my Corsair Force SSD instead)
Win 7/64
4670k@4.2 GHz
msi z87 gd65 gaming mobo
16 Gb crucial ballistix DDR3@1866 MHz
evga 780 gtx classified
250 Gb Sansung 840 Evo SSD
vsync enabled and recording with dxtory
I tested both “high” and “very high” at 1080p. With “high”, I never went below 58, on “very high”, I was mostly at 60 fps, but I saw some drops to the low 40s in a couple of places. There were drops to the low 50s when in dialog, I suspect because of the DOF, but I could be wrong. When I wasn’t recording, I didn’t notice any drops below the mid 50s.
I noticed that both my GPU and CPU got significantly hotter than I’ve ever seen them outside of benchmarks. The GPU got to 68 C max, but I don’t remember the CPU temps. I do remember that they were higher than I’m used to seeing. I guess that is to be expected though.
Is there a general command or button combo to press to pull up the framerate?
It will be a pleasure to post some screenshots when I get back home tonight.
You’re right, R9 280 should be able to achieve a little bit more. But that’s not the first time I was surprised by the 7870 (OC version btw, with some additional overclocking via CCC).
It is simple maths, something is wrong or right in your or my card. But with 100% usage in a Cryengine game should not happen. ¿You sure it was Very High?

Settings:

Very High
Performance:
FPS around 43. Game crashed on first quick turn as I headed towards the vilalge but after that pretty stable.
My game also crashed on the first run (DIRECTX DEVICE HUNG or something like that) when changed to Very High, after that is rock solid.
I don’t know the answer to that. I just used dxtory, which displays the fps both when are you recording and when you aren’t. MSI Afterburner or evga precisionx should also be able to tell you as well.
For me , it takes a long time to enter and exit the game with major lags. However within the game itself , there aren’ t many lag issues though the frame rate is relatively low. I have also noticed some graphic issues regarding my characters feet and hand in inventory screen , the water in the pond etc. However otherwise it ran pretty well . I didn’t have any voice nor speaking animations , I am assuming they are not included in this build. Other issues I have faced was regarding the interactions with the NPC’s as it didn’t work all the time even though there was a prompt.
I am running Windows 8 64 bit on my laptop Toshiba L850 with ATI 7670M 1GB graphics card which can run Shadow of Mordor and Skyrim pretty smoothly.
With my L850 (same laptop) I get 17fps on low on an overclocked 7670M (720mhz core)
This card is not good for this game.
Performance scaled with a little bit more overclock (+3fps with an increase of 40mhz) (Stock is 850Mhz, Boost is 940Mhz and this OC is 1130Mhz).
Still think that makes no sense at all.

Quite good. Between 50-60 fps. Using between 30-40% CPU, 100% GPU, ~1,5GB VRAM, ~3GB RAM. Very dependend how fast I move in regard to the HDD I/O, peaks seen around 35MB/s

I have 25-42 fps with medium settings. with high settings only 20-30 fps. very high 15-25 fps.

Framerate - 20-30 FPS, i expected a bit more, but graphics is awesome
On my system:
i7 3770 OC (4,2GHz)
GTX 670 4GB VRAM OC (almost the performance of stock GTX680)
32GB RAM
1680x1050
the game seems quite playable at high settings. (We will see what weather + more actors + combat makes.) Very high seems possible (even in the woods or village) but not that smooth.
Edit: Actually according to console reports at taking screenshots I have about 60 fps on High. 
Edit no. 2: Measured the performance using Dxtory. (With Chrome etc. running in background.) At Very High 1680x1050 it seems to never go bellow 35 fps. The most demanding location is unsurprisingly the village. Outside of the village performance seems even better, I would say 45-60 fps. Therefore the alpha seems to be absolutely playable in 1080p at Very High settings on GTX680 and above. Great job, Warhorse! 
But i still suppose there would be many much more demanding places in the full game. 
These are some screenshots in 1080p/Very High
I didn’t manage to do a Screenshot with Fraps with the GPU-Z running on top… GPU Core Clock was at 1100 Mhz, GPU Memory Clock at 1200 MHz, GPU Load 99% and GPU Temperature 55 %. (GPU) Memory Usage ~1900 MB.
That makes more sense.
1130 Core / 1350 Memory
In some areas (very few) there are 30fps spots.
