Thanks.. cool im really looking forward to his q&a.. imho Gophers coverage of TW3 has been the best by far.
Might be true. I was used to play 30-40 fps before I got my last pc. Now whenever game goes 55 and less from 60 it feels like noticeable fps drop to me. Anyway hairworks seems to me as such an unimportant feature that I would trade it for performance any day(I mean I have ati card but if I had nvidia, I would just try it and then never turn on again). Only people with nasa pcs will enjoy these things anyway.
Well in a way yes but mostly because I feel the videos we get to see are of the same stuff over and over again. I would of course love to play the game and May 19th can't come quick enough but I would love some fresh videos of other things. Eg. like someone walking around in another district of Novigrad that what we have seen in the 35 min demo. Not doing anything but just walking around finishing of by walking into a random building and through the interior. I would also love some more videos from the dungeons in the game which there are over hundred of IIRC but so far material have been very scares. Finally I would love a video of Geralt entering the sewers in Novigrad and exploring them a bit.
It is like waiting for Christmas presents. Even though it is just few hours away it feels like forever. Just don´t think about it guys. Do not watch new videos, do not read new info and watch new screens (also you will avoid spoilers). Do something completly witcher unrelated. It is the best way how to avoid that feeling (must prepare for exam and I am creating board game for fun for instance). Patience is a virtue. I know it is easy o say but otherwise...well you will be eating yourself from inside guys.
I only watched the english and portuguese versions cant understand a word in other languages so...
What I'm referring to is over a month and a half old. This right here,

Reptile's post is from 19-03. When did the YouTubers visit CDPR? At around mid-April, right? Can't remember exactly. I imagine GameStar visited at mid-March, a bit before that translation of Reptile. @OliverDK I find it weird that GameStar played a better build than the YouTubers who went to a later event. I think I'm confusing something here. If it's just Gopher being uber-sensitive, well...GameStar said:

IIRC: I read somewhere that Hairworks doesn't play nice with Shadowplay which they apparently used to record the footage.
I shall do a Benchmark in Far Cry 4 with Hairworks enabled, once using Shadowplay, once Fraps for recording, will keep you updated.
I hope recording is the issue, my heart sunk a little when Gopher said that.
Gopher said he tried hairworks on the second day when they weren't recording.
as for him being sensitive.. well could be, but he was really dissing it.

Yeah, likewise.
It's not that I could have afforded going for a stronger rig than what I bought so it doesn't bear any practical consequences on me in retrospect. But it's nicer to know, well, better news.
What the...
Yeah, now I'm really confused about the discrepancy between him and GameStar.
@OliverDK check lord_blex's post above me and the link in it. He's describing something very weird there.
So, second round of ideas, anyone?
Any suggestion where GameStar comes on top earns a redpoint.

@EliHarel I find it weird too with the different builds but I was just repeating what I have read on this forum. I apologize that I can't remember exactly where and I have looked for it but sadly unsuccessful so far. Of course as mentioned it my earlier post it could just be someone spreading bullocks.
And believe me Gopher IS really sensitive to any fps below 60 so when he says a massive drop I would take the word massive with a grain of salt.
@EliHarel Yes I have seen the tweet from Gopher but as I say I will take it with a grain of salt as he is highly sensitive to anything below 60 fps so I highly doubt the 25 fps drop is accurate unless we are talking about extreme scenes - he does after all write it felt like 25 and not it was 25. IIRC I seem to remember he once removed a mod in one of his Skyrim let's play just get get a few extra frames to get over 60.
But I guess we will first get the real picture when the NDA is lifted.

25 FPS....well shit. Technically I don't think they were playing the latest build though. Hope dies last.
Benchmark comes to same conclusion, recording with shadowplay isn't an issue:
2015-05-03 19:06:38 - FarCry4
Frames: 1128 - Time: 20000ms - Avg: 56.400 - Min: 49 - Max: 62
2015-05-03 19:07:25 - FarCry4
Frames: 1199 - Time: 20000ms - Avg: 59.950 - Min: 58 - Max: 62
Had V-Sync enabled (woops), the first one is while fraps is recording, second one while shadowplay is recording. The 3fps avg-difference could aswell come from my "benchmark setup" which includes me following one of those hairy-cows around with the camera... (forgot the name lol)

They weren't, no. But I can't begin to answer why they would play a less advanced build of the game than GameStar, more than a month after GameStar had their hands on it, and just a few days before the Gold was announced.
I think the Youtubers were playing different builds.
In AngryJoe's build each time Geralt went into water or came out the game froze for a second or two, and he said that it is not the final build and he was told by the REDs that it was fixed. But in other videos the problem had been fixed, and the players went in and out of water without any problems.
