you need a 970 or above to achieve 60fps, so my GTX 780 is only good for 30fps apparently. What a load of crap

Yea dude 900 series cards are more optimized for nvidia GameWorks/HairWorks.

twister754029d ago

...i'm also confused if I should buy PC version or PS4 version....i'll have to wait some more days and then decide..

atylerblack4029d ago

If you have a good rig you need to buy it on PC. I have both a console version and a PC version and the PC version looks and plays so much better.

If you don't have a high end PC then I'd say buy for whatever will run it best.

Utalkin2me4029d ago

Not only do you need a 970 and above to acheive 60 fps, but you also have to turn things down to achieve it.

KontryBoy7064029d ago (Edited 4029d ago )

I have a 780. Turn off hair works, set bodies on screen to high, foliage to high and shadows to high... everything else on Ultra. All post processing turned on. I get 60fps at 1080p just fine.

It's no load bud, that's why I stopped playing PC games and went to consoles. Seems like a better idea to play up to snuff gaming on your couch, big screen with good surround; rather that drop $300 every time a game comes out to upgrade the old rig.

Keep your Mac/PC up to date for production use and browsing and buy a console every 6 years. The graphics get progressively better as developers figure out how to squeeze every last big of juice our of the systems.

Just look at Mobile suit gundamn or Resistance (ps3 launch games) compared to The last of Us on that system. Always felt like Mac/PC developers just throw whatever they can at the hardware expecting people to upgrade every other title. That in my opinion isn't a sign of development savvy. Savvy?

Khajiit864029d ago

Thats a bunch of bogus. Really upgrade the rig every time a game comes out? Console games get better over time, but dont all games? I have been a console gamer my whole life and have built my first rig in the past year and have not regretted it one bit. Keeping my PS4 for exclusives ONLY.

I payed $27 for MKX, and I just bought Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight for $60 TOTAL!!! How much would you pay if you bought all 3 preordered?

Utalkin2me4029d ago

Where did you get 3 pre orders for 87 bucks? And how much re sale value do you have in those 3 purchases. While from gamefly i get a 10% discount off top along with monthly coupons of 10 dollars off. Which would cost me 38 bucks, while it's not as cheap as your's. But in turn i can re sale my game and probably get 30 bucks out of it once i finished it.

Bought Witcher 3 on PS4 last night. Its a laggy pile of trash unfortunately and unplayable imo. It look amazing, but whats the point if every time i turn the camera its studders like crazy. I ejected the game and put it back in the case. I'll only play again if/when they fix it. So disappointed =(

poor_cus_of_games4029d ago

Bs. I've got the game for the ps4 and it is running smoothly. No dips at all so quit your lying. Anyone can see your comment history. You are clearly a troll who hasn't got a ps4. Try harder next time to spread misinformation.

Wii_nes_0074029d ago (Edited 4029d ago )

Yea right bro, my psn is SavingPvt_Highon and i got my ps4 at launch. I love sony and ive been following this game for over a year. Maybe i just got a bad batch in my region. My brother and i both went and picked up our ps4 copy at 12:01 last night and both are experiencing the same horrible lag. I don't appreciate you calling me a liar and I don't appreciate you calling me a troll. And as far as my comment history goes, speaking your opinion does no = trolling. You clearly don't know or understand what trolling means.

Great guide. Thanks for writing it!

Xristo4029d ago

On my system (i7-920, 780 Classified, 12gbRAM), i can play the game at 1080p on ULTRA settings (no Gameworks) at around 45-50fps. If I turn down the Foilage Visibility Range to HIGH, I am right at 60fps give or take 2-3fps. Turning a few other settings down to HIGH brings me up to the 80s but not needed. I figure that my CPU is a bottleneck here also.

How's everyone else doing?

Somebody4029d ago

My system(i5-2500K, 970, 8GBRAM-all stock speed with old Nvidia driver) runs TW3 around 40-50fps at 1080p on Ultra(no Gameworks). I haven't turned down any settings to see I can achieve 60fps.

I tried limiting the framerate at 30 after reading in the GoG forum about how the camera lurch around for being not optimized for 60fps. Capping it at 30 actually did make the camera feels smoother and Geralt less sliding around(stopping a little bit further than where you want him to) but I couldn't stand the 30fps.

The actor who portrayed Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher series of games has died

Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.

Cause they play NBA2k26, COD and gamepass

Fishy Fingers70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.

Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?

Bathyj70d ago

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

LMGk70d ago

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.

GamingSinceForever70d ago

Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂

Loktai70d ago

Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.

Sign me up. I haven’t played it since it released on PS4 so I could go for another run with a new DLC.

M3talDiamond352d ago

repsahj352d ago (Edited 352d ago )
