The Witcher 3 Benchmarks

Kind of regretting that I got Titan X for this game. Should have gone 980sli way as they are much quicker. Lol, even 970sli will be probably quicker than TX as this game does not use more than 2,5 GB card memory @1440p.
 
What is killing the performance on pre 9xx cards :/

Even AMD equivalents seem to be better off. Litterally setting one slider above medium seems to takes a huge chunk off the FPS.

Been playing this , thismorning on 1440P. All on max settings including hairworks, I was getting around 32 FPS, small dips here and there. I have locked it at 30FPS and it playes really well. It looks good, but not as good as the game seems to demand. Foliage looks quite poor. Hairworks is nice though, I rather hairworks at the cost of about 10FPS, 30FPS is working well enough for me.

Wow, played this game a bit last night and it runs like crap!

I have to use medium on a 780, even setting one slider to high or ultra seems to slow it to a crawl. Something seems off, the game is detailed but not THAT detailed.

The game uses tesselation and the 900 series are 3 times faster at it according to Nvidia.

Now it looks like all those silly people recommending a 780ti over the 970...... Why oh why would you go for older tech. It seems dev target the current gen (mostly because they are in bed with Nvidia)
 
It shouldn't make that much of a difference though. The tesselation is not that heavy. Only on hair if you enable hairform. Plus it's been used extensively in other games without issues.

Just because something is older doesn't mean it's not better. The 780ti is still a higher spec than a 970.

Also I get the feeling that clock speed of CPU makes a difference. What is your cpu and Ghz?

Im only running a 3570k at 4.5Ghz but it 'seems' more than adequate so far.

Are you using the newest drivers?

I'm running a 2600k at 4.6. Even on ultra It's only getting about 40% usage, so it's not that :/

I'm not using the very latest, but the ones just before it. I will try the 347.88 ones when I get home. Oddly the 780 cards are not actually listed as supported on the latest ones, even though other 7xx models are.

You forget that the 780Ti is supposedly better at tesselation than the 290X yet the 290X beats it in the benchmarks (290X = 44.3fps , 780Ti = 37.1fps).
Something not quite right there.
 
4K Med settings with an OCed TX running ~50FPS.

Something is very odd with the game, the mouse feels like the GTA V (direct input) lagginess. Anyway to fix it like the raw input setting from GTA V ?

Also how do you zoom out the camera ? (I'm not a damn console peasant with this kind of third person view)

Yea it's not tesselation it's obvious that since Maxwell released Nvidia have gimped kepler. On release the gtx980 was a bit faster than a 780ti which in turn was faster than a 290x. Now the 290x is on par with a 780ti.

Gtx980 release

Titan x Release. Check the performance drop off in the gtx780/Titan/ti in comparison to 1 year ago. Either AMD are the driver kings or Nvidia are plainly gimping slowly but surely.

Seems a bit slow to me, I've not tried it on Med settings but everything on Ultra inc AA (hairworks off) I get an average of 35/40FPS sprinting through the forests on horseback, so a slower average FPS than normal gaming will see.

The game does seem to run quite smooth @ 4K with a TX maybe due to the minimum FPS being pritty similar to the average FPS, not getting any dips at all, I think its more than playable around 40FPS, thought I might turn shadows down to high is this has no effect on image quality.

I'm running a single TX :D

This game other than a certain square around Gerard (+-20m) has pretty crap textures.

Whats the newest driver btw ?
