Comments:
I'm now around 1 hour into the game and it looks and plays perfect at 60fps, but in DX11 Hardware Rendering mode is extremely difficult or even impossible to focus on Ghosts.
Work around: Switch to Software Rendering as soon as there's a ghost in sight

Bugs:
Can't focus on Ghosts while in Hardware Rendering mode - Work around: Switch to Software Rendering as soon as there's a ghost in sight and then revert back to Hardware mode for extra eye candy (just press "F9")
Some vertical lines in some sprites while in Hardware Rendering mode. - Work around: Switch to Software Rendering

Status
Playable

Bonus:

Can you check if the camera focuses properly in hardware mode if you check 'native' in GSdx?

Just tested and sadly it doesn't focus. Will have to change to software mode when ghosts appear for now.

Here are the results of the test:

Thanks, one more test, try DX9 hardware mode on GSdx with a non-native resolution. Some people reported that Logarithmic-Z fixes it

Just tested it, but I get similar results to DX11 Hardware mode.
I actually went ahead and tested a bunch of different settings in GSdx with no luck.
OpenGL Hardware even crashes the game randomly.

Well, I guess I'll stick with the above config and just change to Software mode when needed.

Thanks for the tips though.
