The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Thread starter Paul_cz
- Start date
The Souls games and Bloodborne, Mount and Blade: Warband, Kingdoms of Amalur (boring as everything else about that game was, the combat was tight and fun), both Dragon Age sequels, both Mass Effect sequels, Dragon's Dogma, to name but a few. Don't get me wrong, I still love the Witcher games, but characters, story and setting have been their strong points for me.
Gone ahead and bought a 980 GTX. Was going to buy a Titan X but all out of stock here in NZ by the looks. Got lucky with the price too. Around 340GBP 2nd hand and 3 weeks old as per receipt. While this game looks great on my 7950, this price was too good to pass on. Should get about $200 bucks for my current card which makes this a decent purchase.
Was reading the Nvidia forms and there's lots of people on Kepler GPUs (like 780ti, 780, 760 etc) freaking out as their cards are under performing by a good margin. Nvidia rep responded saying: "We discovered a couple of issues in regards to Kepler GPUs and are working on driver updates". So quite possibly another driver soon that will boost their performance a lot.
Here's a FPS comparison for the 780 Ti

It isn't surprising though, especially with hairworks on. Nvidia have said all along that Maxwell is just simply a lot more efficient at tessellation than kepler.
Whilst on paper a 780Ti is a powerful card, i think people forget that maxwell is a new architecture and therefore brings in many new efficiencies that the 780TI can't match with its raw power.
However, in some of those scenes the difference does seem a bit extreme so hopefully Nvidia can do something with the driver for kepler cards.

Played this for the first time last night and really liking it ATM. I played witcher 2 last week for the first time and 3 seems loads better in all aspects.

Just delete the associated files and the sweetfx folder.

Starting to get the hang of things now - although I am still wandering around the starter area, trying to find certain flowers for oil for that noonwraith.

Quest recommended level 7, finish quest, loot chest, get armour schematics for level 27, standard.

Since the last patch i'm getting random crashes, whole system locks up and I have to hard reset. Really quite annoying.

Encountered my first bug 
Deep inside a cave during a quest, starts hammering down with rain
other than that, compared to other open worlders its been quite bug free (from what ive seen )

I was getting the same with the latest Nvidia drivers, I did a complete uninstall with driver sweeper and reinstalled, no crashes since

Sorted so ignore below.
I have just put a point into the 2nd level of the IGNI sign for the alternate mode of IGNI where it fires a stream of fire, or so it says, and the game told me the way to trigger that, using an XBox One controller, is to hold down the RT, whereas firing a sign is just press RT.
The thing is if I hold down RT it just fires the standard IGNI. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
