Tried this. GPU goes to 50-60% in the Festival menus, then to 92% if I go outside (also in menus if I pause, but it looks like the game always continues to render/run, even when paused. CPU still not impressed.

Is it just me or is the game slowing becoming buggier? I was racing the AI when the water at Silver Sands Shipwrecks suddenly became pitch black... I could still drive in it but no ripples in the water. At times it flashed too. And at another instance my Ford Focus' tailights was stuck with a pretty terrifying glow once I left the garage...
Interesting that your GPU usage is that high. I have a 1070 and use 1440p Ultra settings, but usage hovers around 60-70%. Or are you using 60fps mode?

ok, now i have bought this game 3 days ago, standard editon for pc, my specs are those, i5 2500K @ 4.4, 16gb ddr3 ram, GTX 770 2gb, OS and game on SSD, i play at 1600x900 (my monitor is old 
) and i even cant get locked 30fps, of course everything is at lowest, no aa no, msaa and ect, in surface paradise at night i get about 15-20 fps, thos is just ridiculous, my pc is way better than minimum requirements but i cant play this game 
)
i think i will change my vga to play at least at medium settings, thinking of getting gtx970 or r9 380x

Did you install the recent Nvidia driver update?ok, now i have bought this game 3 days ago, standard editon for pc, my specs are those, i5 2500K @ 4.4, 16gb ddr3 ram, GTX 770 2gb, OS and game on SSD, i play at 1600x900 (my monitor is old

Surfers Paradise is the heaviest part in the game, so expect lower FPS there. And this game is not kind to nVidias 7xx series, especially with 2GB of VRAM. Based on this benchmark it should run a bit faster, but your CPU is also significantly slower than what they tested with.
yes but they had 4gb version of 770, but there is one more difference i am not using 1080p it is lower than that resolution, it is 1600x900 lets say 900p, so it must run at least at lowest settings ???
with no aa no shadows no msaa everything is turned of and now even getting 25 fps
i can play at 25fps not good but it is playable but lower than that is very hard to play normally.

Locking framerate is essentially a rev-limiter for your system. Unlocked usually the GPU is maxed out (since most games are GPU-bound). Haven't seen a lot of CPU-bound games (maybe Project CARS with a full LeMans grid). I/O and memory bound I have seen as well on occasion, but that's usually due to crappy engines (yes, I'm looking at you SWTOR).

Hmm, FH3 is actually running better for me lately. I was about to scrap the idea of running on my PC and just stick to the XOne version but it is running pretty good at medium settings @ 3440x1440. Mostly 60FPS, occasional dips but still better than a constant 30 FPS. I don't run for hours at a time - maybe 2 tops, it could be that.

For some reason after I installed MSI Afterburner (hoping to improve performance) game started crashing and given me 19fps. I did tried to delete Afterburner, but nothing has changed. After research the thing that helped to get back to 30fps is to downgrade NVIDIA drivers to 372.70. Optimization is seriously broken in this game.

You need to go to the Windows Store app, then click on your user icon (top right by the search bar). Then select updates from the menu.
It will update automatically at some point, but the app allows you to force the update...

This just means that the EU Store hasn't updated yet. Probably won't until slightly later in the day.

The updates usually drop at around 6PM GMT. So some time in the next hour.

Relax, the update rolls out at slightly different times depending on the region. The game works fine save for some performance issues, so this update would (hopefully) iron out the issues we're all currently having.
Tbh, I expected the launch to be a bit more chaotic, since its the first fully open-world Forza game on PC. But besides some VIP and performance issues, the game works fine.

Wow... 1.6Gb update.... that's not insignificant!

The patch is pretty darn wonky, at least on the performance side of things.
My FPS doesn't dip below 60 as often anymore and I don't get the split second freezes I got every few minutes pre-patch. However, whenever my FPS does drop, it drops bad. Previously, I dropped from 60 to 45 at worst - now, I'm tumbling down to below 40. I'm also getting much, much more texture pop-ins. Bottom line is, things got better in the "60 FPS areas" and, to a lesser extend, in the menus (big deal, really...). However, Surfer's feels like a no-go area now. Not yet sure which version I actually preferred, but dangit, this isn't what I call "fixing performance", hell no, it ain't.
