"Hi,
This is a limitation of how the engine works, as OpenGL runs slower than DirectX causing these dips. The reason the CPU is starved is due to the OpenGL driver on CPU side.
This issue is made worse with AMD CPUs, which lack the performance in certain situations that an Intel CPU has.
I hope this explains the reasons for these drops in performance and hope that you still enjoy the game."
other than that ran perfectly fine near the Gastown areas for me.
AMD FX8320@4,4ghz, 16GB Ram, EVGA GTX 1070

its not only this game, most opengl games seem to be, if you check different benchmarks, mid to high end cards perform pretty much same and the framerate difference comes from the CPU used.

CPU: AMD FX 8350 (8 core at default 4.0 GHz) - note that AMD isn't as good as Intel when games are mostly single-threaded.
RAM: 16GB DDR3-1600MHz - not the best, but it is running in dual mode (2 x 8GB)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 - generally I've needed this spec to run games at 4K and reasonable framerates
- examples: Rocket League, Dying Light, Mad Max, (Doom,Watch Dogs 2 - Windows)
With these specs, at Gas Town, I've had no noticeable slow-down issues. I have my graphical settings reasonably high. If you are especially interested I can check further and share those. Note that I've played the full way through the game (entire main quest, and more than 50% of all the rest) taking about 79 hours so far, at 4K resolution. I did tweak the graphics to get a good mix of performance and quality.
Generally I've been okay with Mad Max. I do get a bit of slow-down from time to time, when the screen is busy (i.e. fighting 8 war boys at once) but I'd blame 4K + AMD/single threading for that.

I noticed some framerate drop during the game but still playable and some rare crash.
I started with low settings. Updating nvidia driver to 367.44 makes the game playable with medium settings. My PC barely fits the minimum requirement.
It's all I can say after 48 hours
At the moment they are nowhere near as the performance bump from the 9xx or the 980 in my case that they should be, and don't get me started on driver issues!

Pretty frustrating, because this is a fun game and I'd like to finish it.
