1.03 was good to me. It actually increased my FPS greatly. But things got reverted back after 1.04.
Game is awesome. Why do you guys worry so much about graphics? I think CD Projekt Red is doing a fantastic job and are going out of their way to make PC players happy. My suggestion is calm down, play the game, be considerate towards the developers working hard for you and be grateful to be able to play the best RPG of this generation. Game is only 1 week old. Give these hard working men and women a break.. Where's the love?

i have antialiasing activated and thre is no difference, the shadows wer "grainier" in patch 1.03, the foliage in 1.04 patch is a lot better, maybe different systems had different effects with the patch,
Agree with 1.03 increased the FPS for me as well. BUT ... NPC POPINS ... HOOOOOOOOOOOOORIBLE !

Dude we are calmed as much as can be with this situation. HOWEVER THE GAME IS unplayable ... it is not only the stupid AUTO DRAW/SHEATHING sword but it is much more ... main story BUG that breaks the game, lots of ppl reporting stupid crashes for no reason. and since patch 1.03 POPINS >> DA FUQ ?? The game is broken CD red broke it with their GREAT PATCHES ?!??! IT should be vice versa ! And it is clear that the AA with 1.04v is utter shit .. I am glad that I didn't install it. I still regret for installing 1.03 1.02 version was just perfect without any NPC pops!
I think the game looks exactly the same. The difference is, I'm getting consistently better framerates with patch 1.04.
Yes - I set Textures to Ultra (it had reverted to Low for some reason, after installing 1.04)
I have everything maxed, except Foliage Distance set to High. / 1920x1080 / V-Sync off / Fullscreen.
Nvidia Hairworks also set to Full (or All, whichever it's called)
I'm easilly averaging 55+ fps, minimum frames usually low 50s.

Like said, I feel like we're bêta testers for console. There's no reasons to have such pop in with a decent PC like there are for consoles.
And the VRAM used is just ridiculous. Use an adapted VRAM for each card please!

Gotta agree ... just posted a similar topic on GOG boards.
I had no issues with 1.03 ...
Now with 1.04 cutscenes graphics seem worse (AA shimmer/flicker, shadow are stripped) ... performance is slightly worse (running 2 970s in SLI)
but worst of them all: I had 0 crashes with 1.03 ...prior to that the game would crash every 3-4h ... now with 1.04 it crashes every hour ...
I noticed that the patch 1.04 is so much demanding about the GPU power, over than 100% with afterburner for mine (GTX 970), black screen crash evry time the power reached 106%.
By increasing the power limit, no more crashes even at 107% for the more demanding areas I found.
However the VRAM used is ridiculous, very low. I don't know if there were more cached in VRAM if it were better or not for the high power demanding.
U guys are crazy patch 104 improved visual quality by allot, gras looks bettter now, characteras faces do to, grass looks les grainy now with sharpnis on high, one thing i noticed is that the water quality is more flat [edit nevermind there was no wind blowing xD] and in overal i really dont see any big differences, the only thing i like to see is sharpnis on high a bit lesser grainy thats all.
open in \Documents\The Witcher 3\user.settings
Find "TextureMipBias" and change it to "TextureMipBias=0"
helps with the shimmering textures / flickering - at least for me.
