Ooh at least my 670 is in the light green, and my CPU and RAM is in the dark green. So I guess medium settings might get me a solid 60 fps. So long as medium looks good, I'm happy with that. Is there a screenshot set that shows all quality settings?

 

[Qassim]

I also have 980GTX SLI with I7 4790k. I can run ultra settings 1080p with hairworks at 60fps locked, right?

( I got a gaming laptop and this).

Locked? probably not.

 

[CHC]

Are the Nvidia settings profiles included with the lastet drivers? I have the game pre-loaded and 352.86 installed, but Witcher 3 isn't on my list of games.

It won't show up until it is unencrypted.

GOG Galaxy just updated Witcher 3, and I was able to start it. See you guys in a week!

Same here. There is a shitload of options. Locking at 30/60 and borderless window are in. IIRC people were asking about these.

 

[AdamT]

Looks like the game went live on Steam too.

 

[gilljoy]

Any benches on a 7970ghz? Or am I going to need to upgrade my card

 

[Static Jak]

Yup, I'm getting the update now, 320MB.

It's about 11pm here so I'll hold off till tomorrow.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I would love to hear about SLI GTX 970 performance.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

An hour early? Well I never!

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Its time!

 

[Drama Zed Nod]

why is it saying "Failed to start game (missing executable).

It just unlocked on Steam.

Please someone, halp!!

 

[ACE 1991]

Damn, ultra on the 290 at a locked 30 ain't happening, just played around with it. (2500k @4.3)

 

[ref]

Looks like I'll have to tweak a bit to get 60+ fps at 1440p on SLI 980's.

I hope there's a setting that is just absurd (grass in GTA V, cinematic DoF in Witcher 2) that tanks FPS for little increase in visual fidelity.

 

[CHC]

It won't show up until it is unencrypted.

Aww but I want to worry now.

 

[Vuze]

Oh lovely, now I can squeeze in 30mins or so before I go to sleep I guess Got the 300mb patch too, now to decrypt the preload
Expected it at 1am o:

Just restart Steam.

nonsense! get going!

 

[SirMossyBloke]

This is definitely the executable right and not the extra DLC they just released?

 

[dyergram]

So guys what kind of performance am I looking at with r9290 8gb and a amd8120? Would I be better off just going ps4?

 

[dragonfart28]

Geforce Experience is weird sometimes.

For my 970, it's telling me to keep Textures on High while Water Quality should be on Ultra. And to use HBAO+.

I would think Textures would have a higher priority then those two.

Never user the GE Experience recommendations.

Go to the nvidia site that shows the performance impact of each setting and tweak it to your liking instead.

 

[Elandyll]

Anyone playing on a Gaming Laptop with a 970m?

Can't wait to put the kids to bed tonight.
And if they had a bad day at school, it's early bed time at 5pm!

The patch is live...

Install the patch, play the game now, bye everyone!

 

[bltn]

I would love to hear about SLI GTX 970 performance.

In the first scene I have 50fps~ with everything on, and just over 60fps~ with HairWorks off @ 1440p. Slight overclock on the cards.

do i need this if i have the game on steam?

 

[Static Jak]

nonsense! get going!

Well it doesn't help that in the time since I last posted, it has downloaded 14MB of that 320MB update. I'm guessing GoG is feeling the pressure right about now.

 

[diamount]

Mouse sensitivity was crazy, had to turn it to the lowest option.

 

[BraXzy]

ADVICE PLEASE!

I have the game going on medium at 60FPS atm on my GTX 670. If I wanted to try and squeeze as much out of the graphics as possible while keeping my 60FPS, which settings would give me the Best Visual Difference to Frames Lost ratio?

Does GOG install this?

Bodes well for me at 1080p then.

 

[Faith]

GTX970 SLI is on, I'm gonna try to play it maxed out in 2560x1080.

 

[Skyzard]

In the first scene I have 50fps~ with everything on, and just over 60fps~ with HairWorks off @ 1440p. Slight overclock on the cards.

Locking to 30fps confirmed for me then.

Was hoping to get 1440p hairworks on with 780ti sc at around 45fps but seems like that might not be able to even hold at 30fps...

 

[Mad Season]

It's mostly giving me recommendations for High settings.

While recommending Detail Level, Terrain Quality and Water Quality at Ultra with HBAO+ on top of that.

Tells me to turn off Depth of Field, both cutscene and gameplay version.

And Hairworks off, which is a no-brainer.

I have an i5-2500 with 8GB Ram and an MSI 970.

overclock your i5 2500?

 

[Felix Lighter]

Wow, thanks. Didn't expect feedback so soon. That sounds promising since I game at 1080p but it's open world. Lots of variables.

Go use the Nvidia Game Guide it breaks things down by setting.

I just restarted steam and it's downloading something now, but it worries me.

what?

 

[Static Jak]

non k version.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

getting missing excutables when trying to launch from steam. someone please help!

 

[paolo11]

Can you try 1080p with hairworks on and see if you get 60fps locked?

 

[Corpekata]

Game doesn't want to fully update after unpacking. Keeps saying Missing executable even after multiple restarts.

Decrypting / unpacking.

 

[tycoonheart]

Just bought it on GOG. My Titan X is ready.

 

[atomico]

I'm still on the fence about buying this for full price. After GTA V, it's not performance I'm worried about. I just hope the game won't crash to desktop every single time on my rig, regardless of video settings (4770k, 8GB, 780ti).

[BennyBlanco]

Is there no OT for this game?

 

[Rhaknar]

didnt help me

 

[Vuze]

Great, Steam needs to download 2gb after decrypting now for whatever reason... nah, have fun guys, I'll check back tomorrow and hopefully wake up to some nice settings for my 970.
