PC specs and benchmarks DISCUSSION

which file ? where is it?

 

[Wickedwayne]

Sure, but it seems to be a "pre-patch" guide, so those numbers will be lower with the Day-1 patch.

The Nvidia Dude confirmed it was the latest version they tested in the comments but yeah, framerate is probably in the low 20's.

looking at the rig used here http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-graphics-performance-and-tweaking-guide hairworks is SOOO not worth it.

Keep in mind all the benchmarks are at 3840x2160. It will be orders of magnitude better on regular hd.

where is the ini fle to tweak?

The guide appears to be post patch actually. Someone asked in the comments and the author confirmed that they are running ''the very latest version of the game''.

EDIT: NVM, got ninja'd.

Is it just me, or is the proprietary anti-aliasing technique they mentioned just making the image more blurry?

Ah okay, I didn't look into the comments.

Well, since that is how FXAA works, it isn't just you.

The fact that the REDs are actually improving the visuals via the day-one patch makes me quite optimistic. Given this and what Jose, the "God of Clouds", said in an interview about hopefully patching volumetric effects back into the game, I suspect CD Projekt are going to continually improve the visuals as much as they can throughout the game's patch cycle. And considering that they have the DLCs and expansions still to come, that means they should hopefully have quite a long time to do this sort of post-release work on the game. I think we may eventually end up with 35-minute demo-level visuals once they're done with it.

Not really. Coming from 1080p, 4k costs about 50% of the performance in TW3.

Terrain Quality is intended to increase the geometric detail of terrain surfaces through the application of tessellation, but in our supposedly-final build the setting has zero impact in every one of the thirty-something locations tested.

Bug? From Nvidia guide

Is pretty much correct. He posted his settings on NeoGAF and confirmed it ran at 20~ fps when moving. He also said he could maybe bring it on 30, if he would invest even more time. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=164336640#post164336640

Hard to say. Could be intentional and added later, completely cut or as You said just a bug.

I like the Hairwork, but have to see what it will do with my frames first.

There are multiple ini files. I have the GOG version.

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\base

Nice. 30fps in that Quality doesn't sound too bad actually but not for that price. lol

I'm wondering if there is an ini tweak that can make the wood texture in this snap look less garbage-day (picture taken from dansgaming stream, ultra footage). It would make me a lot happier if some of the ropey aspects of the graphics can be pulled up to the standard of the rest. I've always maintained that even in its 'downgraded' state, the game just looks inconsistent, great in some shots and unflattering in others.

This is normal and expected especially for an open world game tbh.. If you pick, say one, GTA 5, I'm sure you can find plenty of analogue examples

 

[sz0ty0l4]

all this downgrade stuff turned out to be false, judgeing by the screens from the nvidia guide.

 

[jmcc84]

I'm curious how the performance will be on Low-End cards. Hope that I can get at least 30fps on low with my R7 265

No, it doesn't look as good as some of the PR videos, but it is still a very beautiful game.
