How Optimized is This Game?

Specs:

GPU: SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 380X 4GB GDDR5
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo)
Memory: Team Dark 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3
Motherboard: BIOSTAR TA970 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950

Can you run it? Says I won't be able to play this game on the recommended settings, but have any of you have any problems playing on the higher settings with similiar specs to mine? I remember how insanely well Optimized Dark Souls II: Scholar of The First Sin was for Steam PC. Is this the case for Dark Souls: Remastered? Keep in mind I plan on running this game in 4K. Has anyone tried running it in 4K at 60 FPS with specs like these?

Honestly.... DS2 still runs better. This game runs like ass so far.

IMO it runs better than DS:PTD + DSfix. Smooth sailing for me so far.

I'm surprised how crazy high the recommended specs are for a game as old as Dark Souls I. They act as if the new graphical changes are day and night. They are demanding High-End PC's to play a game that's nearly 10 years old. Dark Souls III has lower settings, and looks MUCH better.

Yeah, I don't get it either. The game came out in 2011 but looked more like a game from 2006. Even by console standards at the time the game had piss poor visuals. The only reason it took a fairly beefy PC to run it back then was because the port was terrible. If the remastered edition were well optimized I would think that something like an ancient 8800GT would easily hand it at 60fps at 1080p. A GTX 760 as the minimum is absolutely obscene for a game with graphics that are trounced by most Unreal Engine 3 titles.

Running it at 4K with a gtx 1080 and it hasn't dropped below 60 fps so far.

The game is running perfectly smooth. Multiplayer is flawless too.

haven't dropped a frame once except when it hits a loading trigger then theres the occasional micro stutter but thats it. There are people that have issues with it but with my Ryzen 1700 and nvidia gpu, haven't had a single hiccup whatsoever.

I have I5 8700k and 1060 AA off 2k Res, even dual screening always 60 fps

I installed it recently to test out the performance, and was relatively pleased with it. The game seemd to run ok with my specs. There didn't seem to be any options to run it on low or high that I saw though. So I'm assuming the game ran it in whatever setting it deemed best for it? Whatever the case it ran good, and looked okay. Haven't tried it in 4K yet though.
