The sunglare doesn't scale very well with resolution. So you wind up with some weird circular banding.
You can see it in these 5120x2160 shots too:

Ok I'm officially going crazy trying to configure color settings in nvidia control panel. No matter what I do, it doesn't want to bring it into the game, and I have it set to do so.
AAAAHHH
AAAAHHH
Ok thanks I'll try this.

Eh, I've never encountered a game where I couldn't fix it, and this also feels kinda different to me. The zig zag diagonal movement is something I've never seen before. Also, in other games that stuttered, the ENTIRE scene would stutter, in this u can still see everything moving smoothly, only the cameras view starts "chugging" nothing else, at least in my experience with the stutter.
To me, it seems like it's either an issue with the camera code, or the controller input code. Something related to the camera or controller, I don't notice it with mouse movement so I don't see how it can be anything else.

Played my first few hours, game is pretty cool and the trees/foliage are just insane. A bit surprised that the animation of Gerald is PS2 era quality...
Had one crash straight to Desktop. Did not seem GPU/CPU related. Looking at playthroughs on YT, even the console versions crash. Game needs patches.

Same here. Game is too fun for me to stop though!

Man, I want to run this game at super pretty levels at 30 fps, but I crash consistently with Hairworks on, and even just pushing out the draw distance, shadow and foliage distances beyond ultra levels gives me random crashes. Time to revert everything to High and stick with 60 fps for now.
It looks so amazing though when there's almost trees and buildings are rendered from great distances with minimal pop-in. Just wish it would stop being so temperamental.

My game has frozen now 4 times in the past hour. 4690k, 970.
What the hell.

For those interested in seeing how a 750 Ti copes with the game, there is a comprehensive video on FPSkillerPC channel.
His rig :
CPU : Intel Pentium G3258 (Overclocked to 4.4 GHz stable)
GPU : EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW Edition
RAM : 6 GB
Game runs at 30 FPS at 1080p with a lot of options on medium. Awesome.

Below PS4 settings? Alexandros am cry.

Are there any settings that look particularly great on ultra?
Yeah that sounds about right.

I've seen a lot of people complaining in the geforce forums but what's strange is how a lot are also saying they are getting atrocious framerates. Exaggerated maybe? Its sad seeing these benchmarks show how other supposedly slower GPUs are keeping up with the 780 but I've been playing the game with a mix of ultra and high and my framerates so far have been pretty damn good. Upper 50s most of the time at 1080p, so I'm happy with that at the moment

i7 3960x
R9 290X
32GB DDR3 1600
Intel 520 Series SSD
Edit: Fucking shitty keypad phone. My bad.
Downsampled 3200x1800. Settings set to Ultra, HBAO+, post processing effects on, Hairworks off, and frame rate set to 30. 1920x1080/60 - Getting a pretty consistent frame rate (dipped to 55 or so a few times). Catalyst 15.4 beta. CPU utilization @ 48% and GPU utilization @ 100%. Good stuff.
Edit 2:
DS 3200x1800 showing 30FPS on FRAPS and RivaTuner Statistics Server.
1080p shows 60FPS on RTSS but 45-50 on FRAPS.

Damn. Going to attempt to rollback to 341.44.
Anyone else having major lip sync issues? In the first area it was fine but today i moved on from the starting area and all the voices were out of sync. Sometimes it is minor, but often times, the VO is several words ahead of characters lips. Most of the time there is at least a words worth of delay and it's starting to become annoying

No crashes on my end with either driver.

Now this blows my mind. That's like 2x or more faster than a 780
Do we even know what settings the PS4 version runs at? And it barely holds 30.

Driver didn't do anything. Fucking thing crashes in inventory every time.
someone said turn off vsync and set fps cap to unlimited...let's try that I guess...

What? how on earth are you doing that with a 290x? I get about 45 max with my 970 doing that.
Yup really impressed with the performance on my 290x as well

They said high, but like most things, a grain of salt. Especially when one considers LOD distances an other things.
Scratch that, it's more like 30 max. Do you mean you've got crossfire 290X?

I'd like to know this too. In the Witcher 2 all you had to do was press H and it hid everything. Hopefully there's something similar in this one because going into the options and turning off each piece of the HUD would take way too long.
Edit: Also, why couldn't having Hairworks off just put the standard hair on the enemies? I think Geralt's hair looks good with Hairworks off, but then the creatures are basically bald which just looks silly.
So it seems the 6300 can pull between 40-50 FPS on Medium- High settings. That's pretty sweet. Shouldn't be too hard to find a good high-ultra config that runs at 30 with some OC

Turned vsync off and fps to unlimited. Haven't crashed, and I'm getting 75-85 fps now with my 970, but it looks terrible :\
Ugh, I may just wait a week or two for some of the initial patches to roll out. This sucks.

Okay this makes a lot more sense!
Welp, it's been discovered that an R9 290 (no, not the 290x) beats the 780 Ti when GameWorks is off on both cards. There's a serious problem with the 700 series (or Kepler in general), Nvidia. Still waiting for an official statement or a fucking fix, otherwise I'll just assume you're purposely crippling your own cards. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
From Overclockers.com
So you should be good. So it should downclock itself to ensure a temperature within the 95 degree limit. And you'd notice if it started doing it.
Really? Aren't those cards supposed to go toe to toe? Much like the 280x and the 770?

If I limit the framerate in riva, do I still have to enable some sort of vsync in the game or control panel?
It really is. I'm also dissapointed at how hard a 60 fps experience is to achieve even when lowering settings. People are also saying that the Nvidia Witcher 3 drivers are mostly placebo. Gotta promote them Maxwell cards, I reckon.
What if the new drivers just made the old GPUs underperform [/conspiracy]
Really? On two titan x's OC 1400oc and I'm Struggling to run all ultra settings at 4k (aa disabled), massive fps dips to 35ish no matter ultra/high/medium but yet GTA5, DA3 all run fine at 4k at 60fps with everything maxed. Funnily enough it runs at 1440p maxed fine, hardly pushing the cards at all. The cards also are not throttling at all when playing at 4k
I was getting system lockup every few mins that would lock the system up, removed drivers reinstalled with just the drivers and not geforce experience and that fixed the issue, but the performance im getting now is frustrating as hell.
Little info:
5820k @ 4.4k OC
2x titan X
16gig 2400hz ram
Game running of SSD

Hey guys, I'm a little disappointed with the game's performance on my PC, maybe someone can help me figure this out.
I have an i5 2500k overclocked to 4.5ghz, 16gb ram and a new GTX 980 (Asus Strix). I had read before that a 980 would be sufficient for 60 fps at 1080p max graphics. However, I seem to hovering between 50-55 most of the time (around the start of the game in the first village you get to after the gryphon flies off). And when I go a bit deeper into the village between the NPCs and the huts it even dips down to between 40-45.
So is a 980 not enough to get 60 fps at 1080p? Or is my processor holding me back? Or should I try to overclock my GPU too? Or is there a setting I should turn down/disable for a performance boost without sacrificing the purdy graphics?
Thanks!

I'm guessing you've got hairworks on, that things a massive resource hog. I'd turn it off honestly.
If you don't mind less fancy hair, I hear disabling HairWorks does wonders to your framerate
