The game runs fine for me as well..i7 920 o'clocked to 3.65, GTX 770, 
but only 6GB ram; ran into an audio glitch tho' at the campsite; the 
Help scroll when minimized caused a sound like a small engine running; 
was very annoying; plenty of talk about it @ Steam; so for now, full 
sized help screen pop-ups or disable it.

I saw no choking of the game like I had with DA:I, but I'm not that far 
into it either; Playing a Female, Moon Godlike Druid and having a lot of 
fun. Running on 4K too.
