Result= Good.[3] There may be instant fps drops, sometimes (usually less than 1 second) graphic quality medium, screen resolution 1440x900 and windowed. no freeze, no crash, fps: 30-60, playable!
The stuttering issue seems to be caused by no shader caching for the DX11 version of Warframe, it is only available for DX12 engine. Once the shader is built up (first time loading resources, etc.), the game runs OK after several missions.[4]
Important Note: At the beginning of the game, sound is bad, after cinematic and arrived to safe house, open "setting" and "sound" and select Audio Output, change "default" to "High Definition Audio Device"
