Not really my type of game so no rush. Just something purty to test out my new system on. [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

PC on ultra vs PS4.
Game was clearly built for console specs aka downgraded. Still looks very nice.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
Xbone version looks identical too, clearly downgraded for consoles. But the positive of that is it will run 60fps on PC pretty easily, which imo is the most important thing.
Also youtube videos aren't good enough to see the improvements better AF makes, that's one thing I hate on consoles, still very low AF is used making things look blurrier than they should.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
Good comparison of different detail presets here. Looks a bit rough in some parts.

Anaestheticly speaking I prefer the colours of the 2015 version. But that's just me.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
I don't trust nvidia gameworks, most games that contain it tend to have performance problems.
I believe gameworks is purely there to fuck performance over and make you want to upgrade your card.
I may end up getting the console version in the end, possibly the PS4 version.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
Then again gameworks fucks over console gamers too(pcars). Awaiting performance/benchmark results...

Nvidia optimised drivers are out.

Lestat, I'm certain that your PC will easily eclipse the console versions in every way.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
Got the drivers, looking how good it runs on bone, the PC version should easily run locked 60.
Noticed these new drivers have a new PhysX driver, might be placebo but pcars seems to be running locked 60 for me now.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
From DF.
Dynamic resolution scaling? More like Dynamic 1080prXbox One's dynamic resolution scaling may also help to uphold this level of performance - in effect before and after the patch. In theory, this allows the framebuffer to switch between a 1600x900 resolution to a native 1920x1080 on the fly, seemingly based on GPU load at any given point. However, in practice this doesn't switch as much as we'd expected - The Witcher 3 is predominantly a 900p game, and the only scenes we've found to run at a full 1080p are the in-engine rendered title screen, and the video cut-scenes.

Tweak guide up.

lots of settings and some crush performance for very little visual gain.
These screens wow.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
Looks like it was optimised for console with pc being an after thought. Nothing like what rockstar did with gtav and made it a whole new game.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
Hearing a lot of reports of crashing on PC, just your typical bug infested AAA release. I'll happily finish off witcher 2 and revisit this when they sort their shit out, should be cheaper on g2play by then.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
I'm surprised tbh. Didn't CDPR say about 3-5 months back that the game was finished and they were spending the last few months fine tuning it to clear out bugs n shit? Maybe this just comes back to PCs and all the different hardware combinations. And maybe you should go back to plan A lestat and get the stable PS4 version.lestat wrote:Hearing a lot of reports of crashing on PC, just your typical bug infested AAA release.

Re: Witcher 3 - Hype is REAL!
Booted it up quickly before, got it locked 60fps pretty easily on default high settings. Will tweak more when I spend some more time with it.
I think I'll wrap up Pillars of Eternity first. 50+ hours in...want to finish the job.

I'll stick with the superior 60fps PC version that I can pick up for half the price of consoles.
