Will my PC run Witcher 3 Smoothly?

[Darkr]

Hi, I was wondering, since idk that much about the effect the cpu plays in gaming... So will my rig run Witcher 3 ultra at 40+fps 1920x1080?

Thank you

Rig:

2500k 4 core cpu@3.3ghz

R9 290x@Stock Clock

16 gigs ddr3

40+ fps? Yes that shouldn't be a problem Maybe not Everything on Ultra though but you should be able to! Btw don't use NVIDIA Hairworks!

Or if you do, turn down tessellation in AMD Catalyst. Apparently that helps.

Ah okay nice, I don't have AMD so I had not idea, but I must say I prefer tessellation over hairworks anyday

who cares about hairworks i own a r9 290 and you can run it easily but maybe not on ultra but you would play it on high

Yes, but i need lower foliage visibility, edit ini file to disable MSAA for Hairworks and force Tessellation multiplier to 8x in CCC for Witcher 3 executable.

I used HairworksAA=4x, not the default 8x, and make your own AMD CCC Witcher3.exe profile with Tesselation factors set to 16x.

Then your as good as gold with top performance and top visuals.

You don't need 60fps in this game for it to be smooth, btw.  That being said, set everything to ultra except for distant foliage, and activate all post-processing options you see fit.  If you want hairworks, use CCC to set max tesselation to 8x.

"Cos someone here had to"

Onboard Graphics - I give you.....the HD4600

20 Unified Shaders, 4Rops/8TMUs 1.4Gpixel PixelFillrate & 2.8Gpixel Texturefillrate and my 2400Mhz SYSRAM = 38.4GB/s Bandwidth for it to use.

 

OC'd to 1650Mhz and setting everything in game to lowest it will go, low details, lowest resolution, low everything...

Ending up with 1650Mhz/1200Mhz - Super low minimums at start of the level loading,.. then balancing out to 15-20fps (Spikes to 25fps then boom,.. 15-20fps again) ^Non-Ini tweaked, so with that in mind, maybe that could very well make it playable (altho looking like the lovechild of the XB360/PS3 versions)

I got Heroes & Generals, BF4, Hardline & various other games all at a nice enjoyable 40fps+ (albiet at a XB360 type resolution)

 

Pretty impressive for a potato...

[Humbug]

yes

Struggled to get 60 fps in cs 1.6
