Will NVidia release a new driver update for The Witcher 3 to improve the use of GameWorks?
No mention about GameWorks specifically but this game has been optimized for it.

"To support and drive all of these features at peak performance on our vast range of graphics cards, we’ll be releasing a Game Ready GeForce GTX The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt driver shortly before the eagerly-anticipated title goes live next Tuesday. Optimising performance, the Game Ready drivers ensure the best possible experience, and come loaded with a SLI profile for peerless performance in multi-GPU systems."
What? The 980 is 15-20% faster on average than a 970. That is just a fact. I could quote many of the benchmark threads on the overclockers UK forums which show the same thing for example.
forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=25214819&postcount=1741
A 980 @ 1502/2102 scores 2036
A 970 @ 1550/2103 scores 1667
This is the fastest 970 in the list but not the fastest 980 (this was just the closest clocks i could find to make it fair and even then the 980 is clocked lower).
This puts the 980 at ~22% faster than a 970. Or if you want to look at it another way, the 970 has ~82% of the performance of a 980.

It's nice that you ignored my point. An OC'd 970 is almost identical to a stock 980. And since they judge performance based on stock numbers my point is valid. Why can't the OC'd 970 be expected to handle something that a stock 980 can?
From this I can see that devs heard my call : http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-graphics-performance-and-tweaking-guide#the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-blur-and-motion-blur
"Three HairWorks options are on offer in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: "Off", "Geralt Only", and "All".
But still something is missing. We want: creatures only option + Geralt only. So we are stuck now with the Geralt hair only, or the usual everything is on + Geralt Hair. We want to have default Geralt hair + animals only option for betetr look and betetr performance. Thanks.

Sorry, but this is very difficult to take seriously. Reddit is reddit, fair enough, but the other one? How many junk articles do they write every month?

Then open any other Pc tech site, for example Pcper http://www.pcper.com/news/Graphics-Cards/NVIDIA-Under-Attack-Again-GameWorks-Witcher-3-Wild-Hunt
Tweaking hairworks in the config is better than leaving it at 8x for my fps, but I would still love an option to enable for environment but NOT Geralt!
Not a good comparison, the first Titan is may be the worst card ever made when it comes to perf/price ratio.
can anyone confirm this will imrpove fps if we reduce the Hairworks AA level ? or is it just not worth bothering over ?
How is Hairworks supposed to look like on monsters etc? I cant see if it is working or not. I have it set to On. (I have a Nvidia 780 ti geforce)
It looks amazing on Geralt. But on monsters the hairs on them is barerly moving. It moves a little, but not much, I was under the impression the hair would flutter like crazy in heavy wind etc?

NVIDIA's tweaking guide has a bunch of comparison GIFs if you scroll down.
Hm yes the hair looks like that but its not swaying that much or nice like in the video. For example in start of the game when you find the dead Griffin his hair is just still. And when you fight the Griffin you can see the hair swaying a tiny amount (even if you pause the game I have noticed that hair moves, even geralts a bit when everything else is paused). But it does not move in any way as much or like that nice as in this video, on dead bodies it seems completely still even when it is very windy in the game, what could be wrong?
