My 560 runs the game at ~50fps (dips into low 40-s though) on low settings so...

 

Time to overclock my GPU.

[Jumals]

Btw is it normal that the CPU usage in this game is pretty low, not even near like 60-80%
But gpu usage is at 99%

 

Wouldn't it increase performance if cpu usage would be higher as well..?

Any suggestions on settings for R9 280X @ 1080p?

This is normal... thats all the load it needs to push the GPU... If you had a more powerful gpu or SLI the CPU load would go up aswell.

I have an hd 7950 and am running the game on ultra expect for distant foliage, depth of field, motion blur and hair works. I'm getting around 45 fps.

You can turn off v-sync with minimal tearing, and the game will be quite smooth.

A 760 runs it slower than a 280. So I guess they did well in optimization and didnt screw up amd users.

On my rig

 I get 40fps on near max setting yes near max

I just turn off hairworks beacuse it makes not much difference to game play...but at fully maxed it is  an acceptable 37fps

SADLY no Ubersampling D:

Witcher 3 made this forum go GTA V topics style

PS. Nice to see nvidia do another guide.

You can turn it on in the config file  By default cutscenes have Ubersampling turned on.

Just when through the whole thing during lunch and took notes as to where I would probably like to have my settings. Cant wait to play

[AStateOfTrance]

If it actually worked properly with SLI. 

[Humbug]

Nvidia really does a good job with these guides. Got to appreciate the effort they put into these...

Seems to run well on both, even though AMD's Witcher 3 driver only comes out next week.
