Can I run it on a card with less than 4 gigs of VRAM?
Yes. Please refer to the minimum requirements above. You won’t be experiencing the game at 1080p and you’ll likely need to turn off some features, but you will still be able to have a great experience with the game.
What's the status on the game's framerate and aspect ratio?
Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango designed The Evil Within to be played at 30fps and to utilize an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 for all platforms. The team has worked the last four years perfecting the game experience with these settings in mind. For PC players, we’ll provide debug commands on how you can alter the framerate and aspect ratio, but these commands and changes are not recommended or supported and we suggest everyone play the game as it was designed and intended for the best experience.

In addition to there being unsupported ways to unlock the framerate, they also said that there will be unsupported ways to disable the letterbox effect on the PC.
So, what about some good news as far as PC graphical options are concerned? What will The Evil Within give PC gamers to configure besides an in-game console?

AA? Well, that's a plus at least. That seems to be a rarity these days in multi-platform titles. Yeah, I'm looking at you both Shadow of Mordor and Alien: Isolation. You can read more from Bethesda's FAQ at the Bethesda forums.
