Motion Blur is off from what I saw in the video, AA is off, Shadows are on medium, textures are on high, textures on the PS4 version seem to match the PC version on Ultra settings according to candyland's video.
Still the game runs below 30fps most of the time which is below what we saw of the PS4 version and it frequently dips into 25-26fps territory, of course with no vsync on. So another 750ti comparison with worse settings than the console versions and still a worse framerate overall. I'm never sure why these comparisons are made in the first place, they've been proven wrong time and time again.
Not only that, but now we have people constantly talking about recording takes 5fps away, I personally don't believe this, but if you're going to say this that means the comparison is already invalidated, notwithstanding the lower settings than PS4 already makes it moot. PS4 was at least 20fps higher on average over the 750ti in Project Cars. When Nxgamer compares the 750ti yet again (with no talk of fps takes away 5fps in sight), we will all see how it stands, of course, I know what the outcome will be, but this drum never seem to stop beating for some reason.
I'm sure project cars will be "ultra textures" as well.

High and Ultra textures are the same quality.
Why do you think those settings used on the i3/750Ti machine are lower than PS4? I think I know why but maybe I'm wrong.
High and ultra look exactly the same so based on that video there's no way to tell if the ps4 was using high or ultra.
The memory usage in that youtube video would indicate not. (The video was shot on a 8GB machine.)
I only have 4 gigs of ram. A 2500k and a 750 ti and don't have any major issues. I just shut off motion blur, hair works and set foliage to medium.

Bah why do required specs do this. I passed on the game because of the ram requirement. Thanks for the post, even if I had the ram I probably wouldn't use motion blur and the other stuff anyway.

Witcher 3 looks like something I'll play through once, and then move on. For that reason (as well as the high cost), I'd rather own a physical copy that I can resell, to purchase another game. Digital games are worthless.

What do you mean? NO MB, NO AA in his settings, he's using SSAO when HBAO is constantly used in PS4 games. This is just a quick take from what I've seen, I'm pretty sure when a proper comparison is done we can keep adding more specifics. With all this missing and no vsync in place, the framerate is still worse overall. What else is needed to throw this out the window?
Ultra and high are not the same quality, I know where you're coming from when you say that, but it's still an incorrect statement regardless. If there was no difference then the setting would not exist and it would not incur a higher performance/resource penalty over the high setting.
That's a better statement, however, I'm only going by what I see as per candyland's video as he compared PC Ultra vs PS4. If your money was on which system could use ultra textures, would it be the 2GB 750ti or the PS4?
Consoles appear to be High to Ultra at mostly 30fps. 1080p for PS4 and 900p for Xbox One.
The nvidia guide spells out the difference between high and ultra textures: none. It just uses more memory for texture cache. Also the 750 ti can force 16x af while the ps4 features textures that turn to shit the moment they angle.
The pc also features higher quality physics effect and particles. The 750ti is basically running the game at 95% of the 9s4 but with better iq and better physics.

My experience as well. My friend is running the game on PC "high" settings, and it looks pretty much identical to the PS4 version. His framerate is hovers in 40 range though.
Other than that, that's what we both came away with.

Understandable, I've just never rolled like that. The only games I've traded in on a regular basis are Call of Duty. I would get $30 for it the next year to get the update or my final one I got The Last of Us. I'm a bit of a collector or maybe a hoarder is a better term for games. I like having all my games on one service (Steam) and accessible even years down the road.
At the moment I have a few games I would like to return to on the OG Xbox, but I have no way to atm.

And which drum would that be? Because the performance of the i3/750 combo has been well documented in a multitude of games and the results have been consistent.

Given the fact the CDPR said consoles use high settings, why would you assume they use ultra settings?
The ultra textures in witcher do not change texture quality, just the amount cached. High textures do not go above 2GB. While ultra can cache above that.
Not according to Digitalfoundry, consoles are mid-high settings:

EDIT: I hope this video to dispel all doubts.

Yes. Perfectly fine so long as you kill all background process not needed.
I have a 4GB machine that runs The Witcher 3 wonderfully, but I replaced the windows shell with the steam executable.

That is so bad for a $60 game on the "worlds most powerful console".
Alongside other parts, they do add up nicely in partpicker.
What's up for debate is whether to add blu-ray player to the build (which seems fair).
Dat "High to Ultra"

Did they post this somewhere?
I would like to see more of this similar settings for other games tho.

Thanks! If true it's certainly a far cry from even the high PC setting.

The 750ti is without doubt the best purchase I've made video games wise for a long time. Not even close to laying any notes down for x1 or ps4 at the moment.
Nxgamer of course. That's his level.

yeah putting more faith in a youtuber pleasing its network will (only explanation i find in the tech conclusion he too often make to confort console choice)....(because it pleases his as well)
Lol! Hahaha dat digital foundry slap down. High to ultra my ass.
Also i didnt know the 750ti was auch a good over clocker! Its almost a 10 fps difference. I cant get that out of my 780ti.
Edit lol was looking at wrong fps. More like 5 fps difference. Still nice boost for free.

Well, I guess that settle this. Most settings on Medium, GTX750ti runs about the same.
You are bar none the worst "warrior" on the forum.
So salty.
Anyway im half joking. Most of them will admit they were wrong cause theyre cool like that.
But many of us knew this. Its been the same story in so many games now that the comments they were making above were just so against the grain... had to point it out.
No. He generally states facts.
Of course, as a PC gamer it's a rather common occurrence in technical threads that the facts look biased towards your perspective.
I'm surprised you don't catch his 'lol salty' (here and in other threads) and the fact that he often ends his comments with instigation alongside his facts. He's a 'warrior' through and through. You'll find him in most multiplatform comparison threads.
I'll ignore your last sentence.
Seems extremely believable having taken a look at both PC version and PS4 versions.
Of course, this won't please everyone as the PC version pushed at max (even without advanced ini tweaks) is totally above that.
Why am I not surprised....
Because it's potentially an ad hominem and I want to give him benefit of doubt? What's wrong with that?
Are you expecting me to draw console gamer (obviously driven by emotion) vs pc gamer (pure facts) battle lines or something?

Is AMD making a driver update just for Witcher 3?
It's everything but ad hominem actually, facts are facts.
He is right when he says a few console gamers definitely don't accept facts and immediately assume bias when there is none.
Yeah they said to expect it soon.
Yes, you're right, bias only happens when people play consoles. Controllers affect their decision making capabilities.
I've seen research about it.

That's great news! The game runs like a dream on my 290. I can't wait to see how it performs post patch!
