What performance from 290x with Witcher 3?

[borley]

Hi as title says i have a 290x MSI gaming 1030/1250 and i have an [email protected], i get around 60fps on high with certain items off but even on low i get stutter!
It's just not smooth i have 120hz monitor i have tried without V-sync and with and capping frames just isn't smooth.
I heard new drivers are coming out so perhaps that will help, i know some people are saying its smooth, anyone else get micro stutter?
Thanks in advance.

If your running an AMD card, probably best turn off Hair Works completely. At least until a driver comes out for the game.

Is your game running form the SSD? I have a feeling it makes a difference.

Hi yeah im running from an SSD and Hairworks is off in the menu or is there a disable function?
Thanks

Are you playing borderless window? If so try fullscreen, it feels much smoother to me.

In terms of FPS, all ultra except shadows and foliage distance (hairworks off), I get 60 while exploring in the wild, but drops down to 40-50 in villages and even 30 in the large cities when there are lots of NPCs.

Hi yeah fullscreen
thanks

Ok thankyou both will give them ideas a try also OS and game is on same SSD

Exactly the same thing here on my Asus 290x. Crazy high fps if I put everything down to medium, hairworks off (over 100 fps) but unbearable stuttering. Not smooth at all like you say.

Game is running off my 2nd SSD for games. I have just put it down to AMD drivers as other games are fine.

Yeah im hoping on the drivers will solve this for me i mean GTA V is fine no stutter just this game

290 here i also get stuttering fullscreen mode mix of high ultra most obvious when you pan the camera slowly

Yeah hopefully drivers will help, after the suggestions here i still get stuttering oh well GTA V until its improved

OP does your stuttering look like this?

This is very similar to what I am getting. Guy in the video is on a 7970. I have done just about everything to get this game running smoothly but it still stutters. So it must be drivers!!

Yeah similar to that, its minor micro stutter then every say 10 secs a big stutter
