Nah, don't listen to NV GF Experience. Manually edit your settings mate. I switched to NV back with the 780s. Haven't looked back. My two 980Ms (each is 75% of a desktop card with 8GB mem each) handle this nice upscaled to 2560x on a 1080p screen. Looks amazing

Just finished my first play through after 76 hours. I'm looking forward to starting again as there are some choices I would do differently, I will also try a different spec and do ALL the side quests
Do you even outside bro?

I've about that much time clocked and Gog Galaxy reckons I'm only about 31% complete...

Ah ok thanks
You do know the 31% Galaxy is telling you is just how many achievements you have got, not how far into the game you actually are. That is why it has an achievement trophy beside the %
How are people levelling up so quick?! I only just got to level 5, although granted I haven't played much but still it seems like some of you are levelling up super quick...
Must say, graphics seem to be improving as I get further into some areas:
Quite liking the cinfx sweetfx preset, going to try a few others later on.
Although I still think a lot of the textures look quite poor but the lighting, shadows and atmosphere make up for it.
Still need to find an ini file that doesn't kill FPS too.
This is a game where 21.9 aspect ratio really shines as well

Yeah cinefx seems to be the best, at least for my eyes anyway Did you turn the sharpness off in the game settings?
People level up quick when they do story missions as they give a lot of XP, take the guy who has finished in 76 hours. All he did was the story and very few side missions, for me I am about 70 hours in, level 16 and still not gone to skelly.

Cinefx seems to be the most pleasing on my eyes so far too, all the others that I've tried so far... are nice but I find them a bit too dark/dull for my liking.
Yup, sharpness is turned off in game.
Ah that will be why then! I am only just looking for the witch who apparently had issues with Ciri, been spending the rest of my time doing mostly the side quests although getting insta killed by level 15+ monsters

As said, the story main missions just throw XP at your face. As I am Lv10 at the moment after playing a few hours a day all I can say is do your secondary missions asap before your outlevel them and they end up grey in your quest log. I did the main missions for just a little while (bloody baron) and before I knew it I had shot from Lv7 to 10 and rendered a few secondary missions grey.
Lovin this so far, just finished Tower of Mice, and looking for the Pellars fathers body. Only thing I find bad is the lack of money I cant buy anything/ Just hit lvl 8 with lvl 3 or 4 stuff.
Not having any problems running the game, do have npc pop up, but it looks grand on a 5 yr old card

60 odd hours in and I'm still enjoying it, though there are a lot of things that need tweaking. I've stopped playing it for now because I'm sick of the freezing and driver stopped responding. Before it was pretty infrequent but now on a particular quest it's driving me nuts. Nvidia need to release a fix.

I've only just left white orchid and loving it. Don't get much gaming time though so this is going to take me ages to complete.
Running wise I ain't really had any problems with a 290x and i5 both at stock with omega driver.

That's because we play too much and often. 45 hours in 12 days is not far from 4 hours per day and then also reading up on it, posting about it, etc. Easily 5 hours per day spend thinking about, talking about and playing Witcher. Play other games, come back to it now and again. Spoke to someone yesterday that's 80 hours in. He's sick and tired of it and just wants to see the end. He's just powering through it now. For what? There'll never be a Witcher 3 again, ever. Play in little bits and enjoy the experience. I'm 51 hours in and taking a break now until tomorrow. Playing Dying Light and Far Cry today

Both these things together are the biggest reason for repetitiveness. To get money of which you can get loads you pretty much need to loot EVERYTHING, everywhere. Use fast travel points to go to better armourers/blacksmiths as they will give you better prices. IE for a sword worth 2000 a normal merchant may give you 15 for it, a lower area blacksmith may give you 30 and a higher area guy may give you 100.
Thing is most of the things to buy from people are absurd. 1500 for a +10% igni rune but you find them all over the place.
Maybe the most stupid part is you kill off some guys, there is a big 'treasure chest' in the middle of the camp and it has a awesome... broken rake in it, but the simple box over in the corner has a 1000 value sword or recipe in it. I found a broken rake in one of those tiny treasure chests today, so small it couldn't possibly hold a rake at all but there you go. Loot makes no sense, loot everything, find no need for money, loot nothing, have nothing and no money to buy anything... derp.
You can make money easily but it means searching and looting every single thing in every area and then travelling back and forth to sell it every time you fill up.
Looting/money/crafting, the whole system is a bore now and very unrewarding. So now you're fighting around all these question mark places but with basically no reward, you don't need the money nor want to walk around finding every last freaking crate just incase there is actually something you need.
Variety of monsters seems pretty poor, everywhere is very... controller. Travel to a question mark, one troll, or 3 wraiths, or 5 drowners, or a pack of 6-7 wolves. Very few times are there more than one type of monster to shake up a fight and change the tactics. Also Igni pretty much works on every single thing in the game. It's fairly tedious, ride there, igni x 10, loot a bunch of broken rakes, a couple of bars of stuff I don't need, a bunch of bandit swords, travel somewhere to sell them, repeat.
Bandit AI is so painfully stupid as well. Number of times they get stuck or don't in any way attempt to surround you, basically just stand there to be hit 1-2 at a time.
levels 1-10, brilliant, after that, meh.

I just finished the main quest...:
Think I got a "good" ending. Ciri survives her encounter with the White Frost if she feels confident in herself as a worthwhile human being, and has not been enlightened about the possibility of future authority. During the epilogue, Geralt visits the Emperor and lies about Ciri’s whereabouts, later meeting with her in a tavern to begin her life of adventure as a witcher. I did admit to loving both Yen and Triss (it was a tough choice so I'd thought I might as well do both of them... , so I guess I'm just forever alone 
...
God does the world feel empty now though... glad I saved before the whole ending scene. Think I'll continue playing from that point if I even wanna go back and do some side-quests, etc. A nice fitting end n' all that, but not that much of an emotional impact for me. Finding Ciri originally and the battle/post-battle at Kaer Morhen had a much more emotional tole on me. I guess it's because I got a ending I was overall happy with that I don't feel too bad.

Rushing m8. That drunken fool needs to stop drinking as well.
