Never played the original, couldn't get into 2 but this one is doing it for me. I think being open world is the key for me, though I did get in the river and spent ages trying to work out how to get out but that was me being thick.

Just installed two MSI 970 and with my I7 4930K at 4.5Ghz I never dip below 60fps. Playing tutorial so far.
Everything on ULTRA and of course Hairworks ON.
1080P
Smooth as silk all the time

New drivers but according to someone who has tested still no crossfire working for the witcher. Probably doesn't contain a crossfire profile.

Indeed, what a shame.

Ffs. Why can't games do falling right?!... Geralt, Master Witcher toughest character around. Died(yes, actually died) falling about 10 foot, landing on his feet, fully braced :rolleyes:

I get the occasional freeze in cutscenes forcing me to restart my PC. Playing the game it's fine though. GPU isn't going over 60c same with my cpu. Weird.

Same here.

The screen goes black and eventually (if you leave it long enough) the pc restarts itself. It doesn't happen during demanding parts of the game, just when it switches to/from video cutscenes.

My first thought was to check the nvidia forums... and... are they always that unhelpful... ?

Apparently everyone experiencing this issue is a fool with defective hardware and only yourself to blame for having a factory oc card (which are the only kind of 970 you can buy afaik?) or a dirty computer etc etc

Working great for me.

I'm running on a gtx 770 with everything on ultra except for foliage density, distance, shadows (All on high) and hairworks.

Getting nice smooth gameplay (was not expecting that).

Installed a customer sweetfx myself. really like how it looks.

I want the game but I want it on, Steam with the rest of my, Witcher games but I refuse to pay, Steam's outlandish prices.

I dont understand how thats possible.. Ive tried so many combinations of settings on my 780 including going down to 1080p and the game runs like a turd unless i put everything to low at which point it just looks so god awwfull. Tried the latest release driver for witcher 3, tried the gta 5 driver and tried the one before that as well.

What kind of FPS are you getting? Some call 30 smooth, others myself included need a bit more.

Crashing on me everytime I go to inventory and other times before that.
Don't really know what to do, have tried many things.

Buy the game and then add it to your steam library as a non-steam game? Never understood why people have to have steam versions personally, you're only limiting yourself.

Same here, but it will be on offer soon enough. No way am I paying £50 (or £70 with expansions)...not even for this game, a series that I love.

the performance for me is bad even on low, I'm getting good framerates but I seem to have some strange skipping and jumping and it's very off putting, I can literally stand still and see the frame skipping on NPC's walking.

Just loaded up a couple of other games to ensure it wasn't my hardware and they are working fine.

Gutting man because I've really been looking forward to this.

I'm sorry. But what's the point in something like this? It's childish And not constructive at all.

+1

I bought it on an impulse last night. Will try on my 980Ms later. People's 4k screenies make me jealous

GTX 970

I just seemed to have got rid of the skipping (don't know how), only thing left is some slight rubberbanding effect going on.
