The game will look great, but just set a GOAL to tweak to then very carefully play with the various settings.

Goals:
1) 40 to 50FPS average with VSYNC OFF

2) 60FPS with VSYNC ON

I use VSYNC ON but for the best experience you want to make sure you are almost always capable of outputting ABOVE the threshold of 60FPS. I tweak the settings with VSYNC OFF until I'm over 60FPS at least 90% of the time. Then I turn VSYNC ON.

There's less lag with VSYNC OFF, but then you get Screen Tearing (horizontal tear lines). The main purpose of VSYNC is to get ride of these lines.

You may have to TWEAK AGAIN later if the game gets more demanding and feels sluggish.

Yes and No.
By THIS benchmark it appears it WILL be possible as you can get 60FPS at 1920x1080 on the "highest" settings:

However, it's very important to not just look at AVERAGE scores but also the LOW scores. If you frequently drop below 60FPS with VSYNC ON you definitely want to turn down the quality to minimize the drops.

In THIS benchmark you see it can drop to 33FPS, unfortunately it's not clear how often.

Regardless, that's where TWEAKING with FRAPS with VSYNC OFF comes in. This tells you if you're staying above 60FPS all the time.

*I also have issue with the GTX770 getting almost 60FPS in the supposedly "highest" settings because that does NOT mirror my real-world testing, though it does get confusing if by "HIGH" they mean the absolute highest or not (like "large" isn't the biggest coffee at Starbucks).

My tests show roughly 30FPS with everything max at 1920x1080 (GTX680 @ 1200MHz; 16GB DDR3 2133MHz CAS9; i7-3770K @4.2GHz) but I carefully tweaked the quality settings to achieve 50FPS (normally I game at 60FPS VSYNC ON, but a few games allow 50FPS which my monitor supports at 1920x1080).
