Can you do 1440p + Fast AA?

VincentHanna · 19 May 2015 at 10:38

Witcher 3 menu settings for Anti Aliasing is either 'on' or 'off'

And it's located in the 'Post Process' menu, not the graphics menu.

So I am assuming it's FXAA or SMAA only?

But I'd say 1440p with no AA is better.

Is it ok to jump straight into witcher 3 without playing the other 2? Is there a story line you need to know?

Geralt looks better with sweetfx

No problem

I updated my original post with these instructions too. Don't think it's worth a separate thread but if OP wants to add, the post link is below.

Probably going to sound stupid but will theses settings be ok for 1080p?

Achievements are working on GoG as I just unlocked one. Hope that means Witcher 2 ones are working as well.

Why is hairworks so damn graphics intensive!!! takes my fps down from 60-70 to 40-55

Born_2_Kill_83 · 19 May 2015 at 11:05

Yeah I've turned it off, it's nice but I'd rather the FPS and normal hair looks good anyway.

Paul_cz · 19 May 2015 at 11:08

Game runs great on 280X with hairworks disabled, foliage distance on high and shadows on high.
40+ fps, no stutters, no crashes.
Looks stunning.

That said, I ordered 970 so I can run this quality at 60+ fps, hopefully.
I love this game so far. Such raw talent and ambition on display.

Rockstar might have more polish, but their games are vastly less ambitious.

Divine Pain · 19 May 2015 at 11:08

Put few hours into it, liking it so far. But not liking these constant crashes/freezes. Can't fix it unless I do a restart

Hairworks... I don't know what the big deal is about it, doesn't look that good with it on?? I'll try it off later see if i can notice any difference.

i7 2600k @ 4.2GHz
16GB DDR3 Ram
970 at 1450MHz
1080p

Every setting on ULTRA/highest I get 30ish fps in cutscenes and 40-50 in game.

Nice, my 970 arrives tomorrow & have a 2500k @ 4.3GHz, 16gb Ram, SSD for game & 1080p so should be getting very similar performance.

If it drops down too much I may just get another 970

Yeah I think I'm going to grab one of the new cards that come out in June

I'm not a fan of SLI plus the Vram issue is preventing me from seeing it as a long term solution, I want to get a 4k monitor once a suitable one comes along.

Not so much on people I have noticed but it makes a nice difference on furry creatures

My laptop -
Screen Resolution 1920x1080
Processor Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ Processor
(6M Cache, 2.4ghz up to 3.40 GHz
RAM 12 GB DDR3 1600

.....

Before I buy this, will I manage atleast 30FPS stable on Medium or whatever?

Digital X · 19 May 2015 at 11:25

I was too used to the witcher 2 controls, found out last night that R2 does not block attacks.. I like being able to jump now and dodge.

Not a fan of how it looks anyway the hairs constantly floating around it looks silly, prefer the normal setting tbh.

Done all the quests in the starter village had a little explore around it and I'm still level 1 :eek:

Ok since enough people are having trouble with installing my profile here's a mini installation guide.

1. Go to www.reshade.me and download the Reshade + Sweetfx 2.0 pack
2. Unzip and copy the sweetfx folder, reshade64.dll, reshade.fx and sweetfx.fx files to the witcher exe directory in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\x64
3. Rename reshade64.dll to dxgi.dll
4. Delete SweetFX_Settings file in the sweetfx folder.
5. Download my settings here http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/3696/
6. Rename the settings file to SweetFX_Settings and copy it into the sweetfx folder in the game directory.

Currently the toggle function isn't working but should be fixed in the next reshade update.

That profile looks great, but is there any way to stop it overexposing the sky quite as much so the cloud detail is lost?

Techen · 19 May 2015 at 11:31

Game looks amazing in 1440p all ultra on my 980.

However, The Driver crashes are getting boring now ¬.¬
