Low FPS despite good hardware and low temps

[bobblethebuilder]

Hey, I've seen loads of benchmarks of Witcher 3 with my Hardware, which is gtx 1060, i5 9600k, and dual channel DDR4 8 GB ram.

However despite this, my frames are staying at 30/45 when in the cities. I've looked at all the graphs using MSI Afterburner, and used CPU-Z and other programs to look at usage to see the issue, but there isn't one.

Also, when im lagging in the city areas, the usage of my parts is actually pretty low, temps barely going above 50C.

I think the only problem left could be OS, I have Window 10 x64. Anyone know the steps I should take from now?

I should also mention I'm playing on High settings with hairworks off and low population. And changing all the settings around doesn't help.

0.) Using any mods? Or have you ever used any in the past?

1.) What resolution are you running at?

2.) Is this a desktop or laptop?

In general, a 1060 should be able to crank out a pretty steady 50-60 FPS at 720p resolution with a mix of High-Ultra settings. I would expect dips into the 20's or 30's in certain, rare scenes, but I would imagine that even cities or swamps, the most demanding areas, would offer a higher average than you're seeing.

The most likely problem, based on what you've posted so far, is trying to run the game at a 1080p or 1440p resolution.
