I can't get 60fps in Inn at cross roads even on low settings with my GTX780; I get 60fps outside with low settings (mix of low and ultra because certain things have a low FPS hit).
My 500$ card is suddenly a low-settings card. I am switching to a new GPU that isn't Nvidia if they don't solve this.

So I did more testing on the gamepad "stutter" issue with camera movement, and I'm now 99% sure its a direct problem with the gamepads input. One thing that has bothered me from the start was I always had a bit of trouble selecting things from the radial menu, it always felt...off. Well, it appears that the same issue with the camera rotation happens with the radial menu.
You can see for yourself as you roatate either stick, the selector jumps around often. At first i thought maybe it was trying to stick to a selection, but then i used the mouse. Completely smooth, just the like the camera issue when using mouse.
This also brings up another possible issue. The input problem also happens when using the left stick in the radial menu....which means it could possibly be affecting character movement. This may very well be a cause for the movement issues ive been reading about.
I could be wrong about all of this, but the same sort of issue happening in two different systems of the game, both using gamepad analog controls...idk.

Here's a MUCH faster GoG DL link to go from 1.02 to 1.03: https://www.gog.com/downlink/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt/en1patch2
Took me about 20 seconds to download and you just run the .exe to patc
(and here's a link to 1.02 in case anyone is just jumping on board with TW3: https://www.gog.com/downlink/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt/en1patch1)

Yeah i'm not seeing it in my GOG library, only the installer files + the release patch ( Not using Galaxy ).
Freedom = $1.05

I believe it. there's nothing that TW3 is doing that seems to be incredibly taxing outside of maybe the typical physx/hariworks type of physics heavy stuff. I can't seem to find any benchmarks that show how much better the game runs on 347.88 though. Maybe i'm just not clicking on the right links.

What folder do you place the patch files in? Mine is downloading at 0.1 MB/s as well on GOG =/
I love how the source of that that reddit is basically just people whining on Nvidia's forums, here I was thinking there would be some leaked email or something.
Reading responses, I want to know what this said....

First link doesn't work
Are you logged in on GOG.com? That could be it? It should open a download for you to save straight away.
Hmm. Alternatively go to https://www.gog.com/account on GOG.com and click the Witcher 3 in your library and then patch 1.03?
For some reason it says "Update available" in GOG galaxy but I'm clearly on 1.03 now lol:
Does this would with 760? Only seeing people talk about 770.
Yaaaa, what was this???

Is it weird that after doubling TextureMemoryBudget in one of the ini's (cnt remember), my Texture quality in-game was showing as Low.
It didn't look low though. I made sure to make the ini read-only so not sure if this is just the game messing with me or its actually using the low setting cause it cant write to the file.

They fixed that annoying gamepad detected notice
Thank the gods. Every time I nudged my desk and moved the mouse slightly, I'd see that fucking message.

When you change the graphics config files, the game stops being able to recognise your settings, so it shows up in the settings menus as low by default. It isn't actually low though

Has anyone had an issue with Geralt's amulet suddenly getting all "clinky" sounding each time he takes a step? It may have been doing it already the entire time, but had been drowned out by wind, music and other sound effects, but it's driving me nuts right now. All I hear as he walks is CLINK CLINK CLINK CLINK! And it's the amulet when it sways back and forth, because I've removed the rest of his gear.
Yeah, if you've mess around with the .ini, the correspondent values will be shown to Low even if it's above Ultra.
Don't worry about it too much, edit away!
back to tanking my fps by setting too high a value on everything.
Edit: beaten by Mr. Waffles.

High and Ultra textures are identical. Ultra just caches (stores) more textures in memory. It essentially says 'I want you to use more VRAM to store stuff'.
I honestly don't see the point in it though. It's a rather strange way of doing things compared to GTA5's excellent way of showing you an estimated usage.
Besides, who the fuck calls Ultra textures 'more VRAM as a cache'?

Max details is max details so Hairworks is on of course. All else is on Ultra + AF 16x is forced in TW3 profile. 2560x1600.

After reading this thread for a few days I'm thinking I may be better off waiting a few weeks before playing. Looks like the lower end side of things needs some work. Maybe its something to do with Kepler / Maxwell. Time will tell I guess. Not like ps4 version is a back up plan for me anymore with what I have read about frame rates later in the game.
Anyone here on a gtx 765m tried with this new patch or just dropping everything to low (including things like depth of field.) All I care about is 768p and 30 locked at this point.

I tried a few old drivers but not that specific one. None of them changed performance one iota.
I think the latest drivers are only really useful for Maxwell cards.
I've also seen the PS4 version crash a fair bit too. Probably as much as the PC version.
Yeah, my performance isn't terrible right now so why fix what isn't super broken

I tried this. Made performance worse, stuttering much worse. Didn't gain or lose any fps.

Towns are the FPS killers, especially Inn at the Cross Roads.
I tried it as well before the patch; the FPS increased by a very small margin or it was the same, but it had stuttering and loading issues. I just rolled back after the recent patch and the stuttering is gone; maybe it is white Orchid only.
I wonder if you can turn them off.

Stuttering is gone.
Inventory crash is yet to show up under conditions where it normally would.

Even areas with only a few buildings hit my framerate hard.
There's something up with buildings. I thought it was dynamic lights at first from things like candles, but it's still hitting hard when it's a few unlit buildings.
Something to do with the geometry I'm guessing.
Maybe they still have tessellated building models and it's using some rediculous amount of it.
This makes me happy. 30 minutes left of work!

I'm in the same boat. Super pissed about this.
As a result of the patch?
Even the camera panning thing? Can't wait to get home from work

Try playing with a jug of water on your head too. I know it might be hard, but it gave me 5-10 FPS more.

1080p locked 30 with everything maxed and some further INI tweaks or 60 locked without hairworks and a healthy mix of high and ultra.

Err, holy shit? After the patch hairworks on full drops me from 60fps solid to 57fps lowest while spinning around in a town. Before the patch it dropped me to 40fps outside with just Geralt on screen.

Same framerate for me.
