Idk, SLI scaling must be pisspoor. Second GPU should be making up most of the gap when it comes to me running at a SHD res, especially with my settings so much lower than yours (especially Foliage Distance, I haven't been able to find a single setting that impacts FPS as much as this fucker does outside of Hairworks). Turning off AO entirely puts me at 50-60, but it makes everything look like ass. Hopefully there's some optimization patches/driver updates that address the problem... although, nVidia never did do any of the things they said that they would when it came to DA:I, so I'm not gonna hold my breath here.

[Celeras]

Yeah foilage distance sucks, I can dip to high 50s/low 60s in some areas with a lot of hay and stuff. Might drop it to high if it gets noticeable since its a rather hefty give-take.

I'm using 347.52 btw

[Prothescar]

Same, 350/352.xx cause framedrops for me, had to install the SLI profile separately. Seems to be a common issue for Kepler cards. Guess they aren't bothering with optimization for us anymore.

Here's hoping CDPR address this shit or very soon. My game is not unplayable but it sure is nerve-racking not knowing when it will crash next. Saving constantly now and it's not making for the most fun experience.

We all expected bugs but this is a bit extreme. They shoulda just stuck to their PC roots and not put this all on platforms out of the gate, or at least QA'd this way better.

[Waraji]

So it's not a bad idea to wait for the Enhanced Edition right? Seeing as I'm not dying to play this right now. Cool.

Not like W2 launch wasn't a bug ridden and unoptimized mess

[Grey Jorildyn]

Hence the expectations. They shoulda known better but coulda, woulda, shoulda I guess.

Game runs great and looks great for me... Gtx 970, everything on ultra, hair is geralt only, hbao+, vsync on. Frames dropped too much with full hairworks. Also had screen tearing with no vsync. Playing on 1920x1080

[Gryffes]

If you go to documents>witcher 3> user.settings you can change MovieFramerate= from 30 to 60, not sure why that is locked in the first place, the 30fps cutscenes were annoying though.

[Krandor]

I'm amused looking online and seeing people have conflicts over whether to bang out a character or not, none of them realizing that Geralt is a complete manwhore throughout the entire series.

[Zetanio]

I bought dis.

[Galkaeater]

didn't crash at all in white orchard but now that im in this elvan ruins it crashing alot in the inventory menus its ridiculus

[Tyrath]

Yeah I experienced some crashes last night. Worst was crashing right after I beat a gwent player that was kicking my ass.

Still sitting on 344, unsure of whether to jump to 352 or not.

[Zetanio]

Game is taxing my GPU to it's limits, even on lowest settings.

[Celeras]

I thought that was just weird lag cos Hairworks couldnt be turned off in cutscenes or something, it's not? That's dumb.

All you folks lagging: what drivers are you using?

[Krandor]

For whatever reason cutscenes just lag, the same thing happens in the PS4 version

[Tyrath]

Thoughts on keyboard vs controller?

I can't decide which I like more.

[Adajer]

I tried using controller. Seems to be a lot better on controller. I still suck at the combat.
