Constant crashing on every driver I choose.
i7 4790k
GTX 980
16gb DDR3 RAM
and it's on an SSD.
It's really annoying :/

Crashing to desktop regularly :/
I'm running the game at 5160x2160 maxed out (including hairworks but no CA or sharpening) and the game is around 45fps in open areas and can drop to 30s in certain scenes. It feels quite smooth though, even without locking fps to 30. Turning hairworks off immediately gains about 10fps. The game is a lot harder to run than I thought, especially based on its visuals.

You can only switch it on or off.
Seems like a lot of 980 owners are reporting crashes. No crashes here on GTX 970....yet.

Any impressions from non ti 780 users? I hope it can still do at least 30fps at 1080p with hairworks.
Titan X (OC +200Mhz)
i7 2600K OCed to 4.6 Ghz
Running everything max at 4K
Just did first two fights after tutorial. Those battles have been capped at 30fps with occasional stutters to 26-27.
Cutscenes are normally where things start going down. Whenever the camera does zoom-ins on Geralt, fps drops down to low 20s.
Ignoring cutscenes aside, combat is playable as long as they dont throw in a humongous 20ft monster or 100 minions at once lol

Gsync is the saviour for my gtx 780/i5 2500k. As long as i dont drop below 30 everything is very smooth. Playing on High with HBAO+ and no Hairworks. About 35-45 fps.

Anyone have impressions from a 2500k and 980 on latest drivers at 1080p?
Is there an in game FPS monitor?

Sapphire R9 290 and amd am3 8320. Shadows medium, rest on high and textures on ultra. Also enabled hbao+.
Solid 60 with dips to the 45-50 in the starting village. I'll assume it will get worse later, but i wasnt even expecting to hit 60 at all with my shit cpu.

For the very, very, very few of us running CF AMD setups......
I'm running a 2500k @ 4.5 2x 7970s (1150/1650) and I get about 25-40 fps on Ultra with Hairworks off and SSAO. This is with the default CF and Witcher 2 profiles. It's definitely not working right as my gpus max out at 45% use on both....
Setting it to AFR friendly gives me 55-60fps but there's flickering everywhere.
Safe to say this game is not Crossfire ready so hopefully AMD will get a driver out soon, but we all know how well this goes. =/
EDIT: This is at 1080p.

Ok, interesting thanks. I am also on a 970 so that's good to hear no probs with it.
Well, my first hour has me getting 4 crashes. The first 3 straight to the desktop. The third my audio dropped out for a couple minutes, then full crash.
Never had a problem with a big release like this before. First two crashes on previous drivers, second two on new game ready update.
Game runs beautifully on my 980 inbetween.
Annoyed though.

I havent had any problems. I wish that AMD would lose the stigma of terrible drivers, and Nvidia= god tier drivers.
I'm getting it in cutscenes AND gameplay.

I've crashed to desktop twice, it's saying driver failed or something. Once during the first encounter of the game, and then the next cutscene. Also got some weird stuff happening. Some object like phase into view and some have white dots on them, not sure what the hell that is.
I have a 970, i5-3350p and have everything ultra and switched on, but locked to 30 fps. Seen it dip to 27 fps a couple times
Getting that loading stutter mentioned earlier too

Yes. Hell the opening cinematic was stuttering for me.
In-game, it stutters when galloping. Stutters in battles are very minor

970 (not overclocked)

Everything on ultra except foliage distance and hairworks is off.
Getting a silky smooth 60 for the most part, but I hate playing with afterburner on because it's so ugly so I turned it off.

Figured as much, wonder how long we'll have to wait for AMD.
Hairworks was murdering my frame rate at 1440p/Ultra, especially during cutscenes. So, I turned it off and have yet to see it drop below 60fps (or 59fps with vsync for some odd reason). GPU usage is steady between 50-85% and the card is running relatively cool at 65C with a custom fan profile.
Btw, TW3 looks great for an open world game. Color[ful] palette aside, I'd say it's met my expectations.

My poor 680. At 1440p, my framerate often drops into the 20s at *medium* settings. At high with medium postprocessing, it often dropped into the mid-single digits.
At least the game looks good at medium (and has been stable with no crashes). Looks far better on high and ultra, but I just can't do it...

Played for about 2 hours. 1080p, all ultra settings except for no hairworks and foliage range set to high. A few little graphical "features" like CA turned off as well. HBAO+. Didn't drop below 60 fps once. No crashes. Was hoping I could downsample from 1620p, but it dropped the FPS to about 40-50, so I'll live with just 1080p.

Yeah, its kinda distracting. I wonder if they'll release proper fps versions.

Is there an OSD or is everyone using some third party tool to look at FPS?
I have a 970 and it crashed twice for me in the first 30 minutes.

I haven't really done much so far but from the first few minutes it's not pretty. I set everything to high with hairworks off, HBAO on, and it runs in the mid 30s, running at 1440p.
If it's any consoltion though, the 30 FPS lock is smooth as silk, no judder or weird timing.

Here's what I don't get I have anice overclocked 780 and am at roughly the same settings as you but 1440p, SSao, no AA.
I get 45fps as well, but a 970 which my 780 usually trades blows with is getting 60 at ultra 1080p?

How much better would it look on my PC compared to PS4?

On a 780Ti here. I was mostly getting 60 FPS on 1440P with mediumish settings, but that soon got less frequent once the world opened up (makes sense I suppose). Have dropped down to 1080P now with medium settings and getting a mostly consistent 60FPS. Looks great.
Also, anyone know how to ship the cutscene when you load a new save file? It's interesting the first time, but less so subsequently.

2160p was not really feasible with maxed out settings (except aa and sharpness filter), even with 30 fps cap. Frequent dips down to 20-25, especially when zoomed in on hair. It may be possible to do better without hairworks, but I did not try that.
1080p with maxed out settings (now with aa and sharpness filter) seemed to mostly hold 60 fps, but with semi-frequent dips down to 57-59 and less frequent dips down to 50 or so. Sadly, the game crashed after the first post-tutorial battle, so now I am back on gaf instead of playing the game ...

You can turn off the cap in the graphics options.
It's not capped. Go all the way to the left to use Unlimited.

I don't understand how these constant crashes and FPS/judder issues in cutscenes could have passed QA, if the patch is really to blame. I mean, I and many others who are complaining have pretty fucking standard builds, the kind of setup any game studio should be testing on ( Intel CPU + flagship nVidia cards).
CDPR has really, really disappointed with this one. I did not expect these kinds of issues from them. It's absolutely unacceptable and fucking despicable. The fucking crashing is making the game impossible to play and the cutscene judder is just annoying as fuck.
