I got a few fps by setting physx to run on the CPU in nVidia Control Panel!
Yes, my recording was on 1.03. I have the same fps so no actual performance gain, but it seemed to be less stuttery than 1.02.
I saw that and it's possible they might have tested a Kepler 860M which seems to have the same issues as my 770M. Maxwell 860M performs better. As you can see, the 860M from Notebookcheck performs just as a 850M, which is a Maxwell card, even if definitely not as powerful -theoretically- as a 860M, be it Kepler or Maxwell.
So your performance will depend on what kind of 860M you have.
cheers! how much do you get now

getting worriedbabout my 860m.... most of the guys here say 35+ on med high
notebookcheck tells 19fps on high
Yes, they removed the block.
now I´m running it at 720p and it´s still not working properly...i barely hit 30fps...so..that´s it...no TW3 for me
Dude, 25-30 fps is totally playable... I was able to get 20-25 with butchered ini in 1024x768 but since patch 1.03 I am back to to 10-15 fps..now THAT is where unplayable starts...
it´s very distracting and frustrating and can´t enjoy the story and the quests etc.

what annoys me the most is the fact that if I change quality settings I don´t get any performance improvement! even if I disable AA and the likes... performance changes only if I change foliage distance and the resolution....maybe it´s just me but this way of performing is cookoo ...physx on CPU...CPU running under 70%...GPU running at 99% but doesn´t heat up to the max temp.....really cookoo
rollback?
Weird that the new patch made stuff worse for you.
Vlad, 680M is a Kepler card, so results will be bad.
@uthvag, you haven't updated the first post with my 770M info yet .
I initially posted this in the PC benchmarks thread, but I wasn't able to log into the forum the last couple of days, and this thread now seems like a more appropriate place to post my specs/performance.
I'm currently playing the Witcher 3 on an Acer Aspire V17 Nitro laptop with a GTX 860m (overclocked), i7-4710HQ, and 16GB RAM.
I've not yet messed around directly with the .ini files yet, but using the options provided in the game menu, I've managed to achieve a stable 30-35 FPS (in White Orchard ONLY thus far) with the following settings:
Graphics--
V-Sync - OFF
Max FPS - 60
Resolution - 1920x1080
Display Mode - Borderless Window
Nvidia Hairworks - OFF
Number of Background Characters: HIGH
Shadow Quality - MEDIUM
Terrain Quality - HIGH
Water Quality - HIGH
Grass Density - MEDIUM
Texture Quality - ULTRA
Detail Level - HIGH
Hardware Cursor - OFF
Post-Processing Effects--
Motion Blur - OFF
Blur - OFF
Anti-Aliasing - ON
Bloom - ON
Sharpening - LOW
Ambient Occlusion - OFF
Depth of Field - OFF
Chromatic Aberration -ON
Vignetting - ON
I've also applied the Kputt'e Reshade + Sweetfx 2.0 preset to adjust the color palette more to my liking, and now I'm very satisfied with the way the Witcher 3 looks and performs on my laptop (still need to see how my setup handles a major city like Novigrad). Based on the early reviews and benchmarks, I had been under the assumption that I'd have to run the Witcher 3 mostly on low just to achieve 30 FPS. I'm pleased that a bit of overclocking on my 860m has helped me push those setting primarily into the high range, with only a few settings scaled back to medium, and with the bonus of being able to set textures to ultra.
