I had Issues with graphic fidelity as well as bad performance like low FPS and a lot of Stuttering in the first 30-45minutes of playing... i played around with the settings a bit and suddenly after the first mission it got a lot better and now it runs on max setting at a constant 80 to 90 fps no stuttering and it looks great.
