I think it's in The Witcher 3\bin\config\base\rendering.ini
Edit: interesting mine is at 0 after the patch.
Aight, found an old save and old screenshot and lined them up.
1.03 mipmap on left. 1.04 mipmap on right.
Pine bushes look better! :O

In my opinion the -1 bias on Ultra looks good because Wild Hunt uses a lot of fine foliage and I like the clarity. But I'm also deeply conditioned to putting up with aliasing and texture shimmering when I know a lot of people aren't. Your mileage may vary. To be fair also, playing at super high resolutions like 4K would in theory benefit more from a negative mipmap bias as the aliasing would be less obvious due to the framebuffer resolution frequently exceeding the normal mipmaps. But I'm a 1080p scrub.
To illustrate my point of a reduced mipmap bias loading in higher quality textures over distance, here's how the game looks with the mipmap bias set to -5.

Ok, thanks a lot! And yes, mine is set to 0 too after the patch.
Can you give us some info on what is it that the driver does for Kepler cards? I wouldn't ask for performance numbers, of course, just in general terms what was the issue.

Very interesting, the foliage indeed benefits a lot from it, I think I can deal with aliasing for this kind of foliage.
You probably need to delete your config files and start fresh. Personally, I would not edit rendering.ini as it is the master file.

Great for screenshots, horrendous in action

PC version? I've only had 1 crash in 14 hours.
I'm not gonna edit anything. I've got it set to get a very consistent 58-60FPS on my 970+5820K right now and I don't want to mess that up.

The merchant in White Orchard right next to the fast travel point has them.
They're hidden? Nevermind then, not gonna search the entire place again.
Oh, good!

If you haven't got it then you don't need it, it was purely for some EU areas for DLC compatibility.
Next patch was sent for certification last Wednesday, it was said it would take 5-7 days so it should be out in a day or two.

are you using galaxy?i noticed less crashed by avoiding it..don't know if it's just a coincidence

I had a ton of crashes until I turned off the OC on my 970.
I have seen other people mention that, saying they have NPC characters and objects spawn really late, i still haven't updated myself.
hm he doesnt have any for me, you mean the one with the dlc armor right? maybe they added the cards from the inn keeper that isnt there later in the game, but i bought them already
I believe that is the case. If you bought them from the innkeeper he wont have any for you.

Exactly. In motion, huge negative bias is bad. But for screens...
This makes me wonder if I've fucked something up somewhere pre-1.03 patch, which was supposed to eliminate foliage flickering/pop-in with increased grass density but did no such thing for me. Deleting my configs hasn't fixed it, so maybe I'm just unlucky.

I deleted that rendering.ini file and it didn't create a new one after launching the game.
I dunno. I like it set to 0 and textures on high too...maybe it's placebo but vegetation looks better to me overall still.

Your screens look fantastic.
Are you using a sweetfx config at all?

God dammit. That looks damn awesome. VGX trailer here we go.
BTW where do I get that armor. I want it.

Is there an easy way to take screenshots in game? (gog galaxy version)
Verify the game game integrity, and it'll put them back.

Should be interesting, I look forward to it.
GOG :'(
oh wait they have a verify too.
---verifying the game creates a new rendering.ini file but it's still:
TextureMipBias=0
Scroll up and read my post.
Yes, they do. I just did it earlier, lol.

very elaborate and informative, thank you sir.
Thanks. Paying attention and reading is for plebs.
Yeah that's been there since launch, I love it. They shouldn't fix that, it's awesome to see the bodies fall from the sky after the slow-motion decapitation finishes.

No sweetfx. But that's 4K downsampled with -5 mipmap bias.
You know what? I have no idea lol.

Yes, noticed this as well. Plus a lot more NPCs got bugged out now.

Actually it's just from blowing up nests. Nasty black shapes appear instead of smoke etc.
No changes to any .ini file or anything except the controller/KBM has changed pop up bollocks. And only since 1.04.
It's like a missing texture or something. What can I do to isolate the cause or will it need to be fixed? Will verify the game files via GOG Galaxy.
I also get fade in, even when it's just changing camera views during cutscenes.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but the shopkeeper at White Orchard has the Foltest card now
Ha, that's my exact system (even same OC on CPU). Really impressed with this gpu, and the 2500k might just be the best piece of PC tech I've ever invested in.
Good to know, will try out the tweaks. Thanks.

Prob the load times on ps4 with stock hd makes bloodbourne on launch seam short.
I had dropped my controller right stick sensitivity before the patch to 0.5 to test something out with the panning.
Now it's locked to 0. Can't bring it back up. The minimum is 0.5 even.
Haven't come across the setting in any file yet.
---oh wait it's in the user.settings file in my documents/witcher 3
It was 0.5 in the file anyway.

between the bugged out NPCs or fade ins I'm hearing I'm not sure if I should update or not.

fuck yeah
Under no circumstances should 1280x720 be considered a valid resolution option.
