The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Noticed a few of the cutscenes use 0% gpu hence the 30fps limit - cpu

Great game so far - only complaint at the moment is HUD does not stretch right out on ultra wide resolution, but that should be a pretty simple fix some point soon.

Loving it so far, everything feels so alive, the foliage is fantastic. Really immersive. Wanna play more but must sleep.

The cutscenes have a 30fps cap. Theres an ini file that has ubersampling enabled and 30fps max for cutscenes. I presume you can just change that to 60fps and take ubersampling off.

Yh the game looks pretty fantastic tbh, everything maxed 1440p. These screenies are using my sweetfx profile which can be found here (including interactive comparison shots):

Your screenshots look great mate. I'll be downloading your preset tomorrow when I get a shot. Bloody nightshift

I tried that sweetfx preset but my game wouldn't load up lol. Just crashed everytime I hit the exe file.

Are you using sweetfx 2.0 with reshade and do other presets work okay?

So... 100+ fps in game, jumpy as all hell in cutscenes...

Ok now I've got my whining out of the way, time to play the game.

Very nice profile, will try it for sure. Makes the graphics looking more real IMO.

For anyone with stuttering cutscenes do this...worked perfectly for me.

Go into your witcher 3 folder..then bin...then config...then base.

Open up the visual.ini in notepad.

Change movie framefrate to 60.0 and movie ubersampling to false.

Hi mate how do you install that sweetfx? Is this right?

I see no difference when I load the game up, am I doing something wrong?

Have you downloaded sweetfx 2.0 with reshade? Run the reshade exe and pick thewitcher3 exe. Then in the sweetfx folder it creates in the Witcher 3 directory copy over the sweetfx preset. Make sure it is named the same as the dummy one in the folder, SweetFX_preset (overwrite it) and you should be good to go.

Think it auto downloads from GOG

Kainz · 19 May 2015 at 05:35

Yep it is auto downloading that patch for me on GoG Galaxy. Just about to jump in now for a quick play!

Captain_Bosh · 19 May 2015 at 05:37

No worries, guess I will have to wait til it turns up then....hopefully AMD will have the new driver out by then

Heisenberg · 19 May 2015 at 05:41

How big is the day 1 patch out of curiosity and is it downloading at a decent speed? Hopefully the servers aren't getting hammered when I get home in a few hours lol.

I'm surprised at how well this runs on my meagre 570. Comfortably getting a 30fps lock on medium settings (which still looks pretty good) at 1080p. Even more surprising is that installing the new drivers had a noticable performance impact on such an old card. On the previous drivers it was regularly banging up against 100% usage, the fans were cranking up to 2400RPM and temps were at 74. Installed the new ones and usage is lower at a max of 89%, the fans are only hitting 1800RPM and temps are at 71. Doesn't seem to need much VRAM either, at least for the medium textures. It's only using ~950MB.

Don't forget to "purchase" the free dlc, just done it on gog galaxy.
