PC specs and benchmarks DISCUSSION

1080p resolution.

Is this a joke or what? lol Mind you, it's not HBAO+ so after the recent patch performance hit is even larger + nvidia pubic hair tech is disabled.

Nvidia totally crippled Kepler GPUs, even the classic titan.

It's called poor optimization,Titan is 4times as powerful as ps4,If you still can't get your game to run on it with ps4 visuals then it's completely your fault.

Re the ultra -> very high issue (and perhaps, everything else), CDPR should have taken notes from this awesome article.

Particularly this quotation:

The most obvious choices are to either hide the highest settings in configuration files, or alternatively be very careful when choosing the wording for such options. For example, have a setting beyond “Ultra” called “Future.” It makes no functional difference, but it can make a large psychological one. Furthermore, the expected performance impact of each option should be noted clearly in its description.

The game looks better than the PS4. Atleast with the Day 1 Patch. Although I agree that the performance impact from the benefits of the Patch are pretty high.

So now Ultra textures doesn't actually give better visual quality at all? It's just better performance? That sucks. I was expecting Ultra settings to offer better texture quality.

Game has 2k textures, actually not that many game support officially higher like 4k. Even if it had 4k textures you need nuts PC to run it, also you don't benefit that much without good 4k display.

I have a
i5 3570k it's clocked at stock (3.4 Ghz) as I have never overclocked
8 GB 1833 Mhz,
SDD 256 GB.

Is a 970 enough for Ultra including hairworks with >30 or preferable >40 fps on average or is it better to go for the 980?
A 980 is very expensive here in Denmark - close to double the price.

I don't know any game with 4k texture atm. Appart from modded skyrim, but even there, you can't have 4k texture everywhere without making the game crash now and then. Besides, the difference between 2k and 4k texture when in game isn't that obvious, unless you like to zoom in every single flowers.

Lol yeah I want to recommend the shampoo he uses to my lady friends, I mean, he can roll about it dirt and muck with monster entrails spewn about and his hair STILL looks in faboulous condition...

Yeah, exactly how Lara's hair performed in Tomb Raider. It was nonsense, but TressFX is a great thing.

Star Citizen will have 4k/8k textures, actually some of the ships have 4k textures even its in modular alpha.

Holy shit. That is pretty. I wonder if i finally start building my own gamin PC. This surely looks like its worth it. bye bye console parity

 

[rcjonessnp175]

Looks great period. Just wish nvidia 3d vision was supported like witcher 2. That's a huge disappointment .

Ive read in the geforce article the following:

Performance: Three HairWorks options are on offer in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: "Off", "Geralt Only", and "All". As the self-explanatory names suggest, they control whether HairWorks is switched off, applied only to Geralt, or applied to Geralt, his horse, and all other HairWorks-enhanced characters, creatures and monsters in the game.

That geralt only option is great for where we get a big fps drop when enabling it for all
Great work on that tbh nvidia and CDPR! Thumbs up!
