All in-game settings max, forced 16xAF (globally), 4k with GeDoSaTo downsampling, specific GeDoSaTo plugin to fix the DoF resolution and add AO.
And don't take (or post) screenshots which prominently show off low-res assets
This is the hardest part in a game as inconsistent as LR by the way, e.g. I just went through ~40 shots to select these two. And while they don't show any egregiously bad assets (you should see some of this stuff) there are still some pretty low-res textures.And don't take (or post) screenshots which prominently show off low-res assets
The only thing which has a consistently decent poly count and texture resolution in this game are Lightning's costumes

The blur and grain really adds some realism. For a few weeks I realised that a flimsy blur adds more to realism than a crystal crisp image. This really does look great.

What settings do you run at? Normally for most games, the resolution bump to 1440p isn't much of a hindrance, but for Witcher 3, it seems to kill me. I can run Syndicat fine, at least at 40 fps, but Witcher is like, nope, you get 20 fps!.
970 here.
I don't understand the bad reviews for this game. I'm loving it.
Some environments from the Ada Wong mission. RE 6 | Reshade
It did a horrible job of explaining all the things you could do, and catered to a market that wasn't the original RE market. Personally, this was my favorite RE game by far, but, yeah.

That's really weird. With a 290 I get 40~30 fps at 1440p. Though I should note that I change the mipmap bias too as -1 produces way too much texture aliasing for my taste.

4865x2036. Settings are ultra or higher with the ultimate graphics options mod. My FPS is capped at 40 because that's basically my minimum, and this game feels awful when the framerate fluctuates.
2x 980TIs here. I'd recommend at least a single 980TI for 3440x1440.
Had to get in on the celebratory 2016 posting so to continue the wave of glorious Witcher 3 photos, here's one more.
That's Hearts of Stone! Just realized where this was. I took a very similar screenshot (well... I took about 20 shots but this one is the most similar):
I recommend always changing to a weather with clouds in this game to avoid banding. Or use deband.

Ah yes, good old banding. It's something I thankfully never, ever notice until someone points it out to me. I'll remember that Witcher 3 with clear skies is kind of bad about it.
Also I've got an ultra wide monitor en route and man oh man am I excited to trying some Witchering on it.

That'd be cool, especially when many of us are on holiday and can't submit any proposed intro shots either
Anyway, happy 2016 to everyone. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute new shots soon.
The first Witcher wasn't very impressive considering we got Crysis that year. What was impressive was the jump to TW2.
Why, thank you! It's more the game, though, that looks fantastic. Very limited options to take screenshots (haven't find a cheat table for camera hacks, yet). But the nonexistent HUD allows for some clean screenshots.
Thanks to 4k resolution you can still spot the characters in the second image (it's those details why I sometimes prefer high resolution instead of heavy (SGSS)AA)
Your shots made me want to play the game again! Is there any way to fix the jaggy shadows? Running it also at 4k and its a bit distracting in such a nice looking game.
I don't think there's a way since cranking up the rendering resolutions won't amp up the relatively low shadow map resolution.
As for the game itself, as beautiful it is, I'm afraid that it gets very repetitive and story won't gain much pace. I'm not far, however. But it's my first impression. Voice acting is superb; even in my native language—with high quality cast— so can't decide whether to play in english or not. Gameplay's smooth and I like the characters and their dynamics.

Wow, can't wait to get this..that ENB does wonders.
Edit. And a link to exceptional stuff on flickr.

Dragon Age just blows Witcher 3 away visually. It was cross-gen too! Really embarrassing for CD project in that regard.

Witcher's visuals are embarrassing? This thread alone more then shows how stupid that comment is.

How so? Witcher 3's downgraded visuals, something I know you're very aware of, are highly inconsostent. Yes, the game can look amazing, this thread is proof of that, but when you compare it's visuals as a whole to DA:I those inconsistencies really show. Consider the foliage for example, I'm sure you can accept that W3's doesn't come close to DAI in terms of quality and rendering. The same can be said for general world lighting, although there are some good examples in W3, it is generally inconsistent.
Like I said, Witcher 3 can look great, this thread is proof, but let's not start comparing modded Witcher 3 to vanilla DAI.
Isn't it weird how dynamic TOD/weather has inconsistent lighting. This complaint is embarrassing. Especially coming from you.
Also, just what kind of witcher mods do you think people are running with?

So thanks to the guys in this chat I "installed" reshade. Looks really cool! Three pics I made (no post-editing...nothing too special but I like them). The first one is a bit of a bad rip-off of that pic in this thread, haha.
Wait...what?

if anything DAI has a more robust engine, but the artist's teamwork was not half as good as the one that worked on TW3. Just a more cohesive look from the small details to landscapes.
