Some 4k screenshots with Afterburner OSD:

Edit - Ignore VRAM usage. MSi Afterburner can't read it properly in Windows 10.

What is your setup?

Please wait for it to switch to 1080P 60fps before watching but I am quite impressed with the graphics and whilst performance is hard, it still isn't bad.

Excellent greg, thanks for review and thoughts.

Wow so SLI Titan X's you are only getting average ~57 FPS? What is it with Hairworks off?

whoops duplicate messge

VincentHanna · 19 May 2015 at 14:32

Lower than that i'd say

Probably 50 average. V-sync is off though so it's smooth.

On an in-engine cutscenes I saw the MSI Afterburner FPS drop to 36fps for a split second.

I don't mean the movies, they run at 27fps.

Just looks like the default settings for particular cards, when I launched w3 the first time it set my card to a max fps of 30 (which in that document is /30 for a 780), which I then changed in game.

This.

There's no conspiracy going on here, I don't know why people keep saying that Nvidia are gimping Kepler 700 series cards - because they are not, my 780s are working as excellent as ever.

Getting average of 55 fps.

2160p maxed.

GPU usage is useless though.

VincentHanna · 19 May 2015 at 15:11

Guess it doesn't scale well past 2x GPU's? Because my scaling was really good.

How many Titan X's is that running on?

No GPU usage was around 65%

Nothing that can not be fixed with a driver update.

And you were using the Witcher 3 game-ready driver?

352.86 and Windows 8.1

That's pretty poor FPS for 4 Titan X's. Does it not scale very well then?

VincentHanna · 19 May 2015 at 15:28

I noticed CPU usage is quite low compared to some games.

I sense some performance enhancing patches coming our way, in the same way that Dying light got a lot better a few weeks after release.

By the look of it no.

It is not all bad news though as I am pretty sure there will be a driver update to fix it.

A good example is Shadows of Mordor which has got a massive boost in the latest drivers for 2160p with 4 way SLI.
