Gpu questions with Witcher 3

[yoshiii]

Hello

 

While I am waiting to buy a new gpu (980ti later), I want to ask if Witcher 3 is worth playing with a GTX660?  If not I'll wait to buy it.

A 970 is plenty for this game!

 

Well its not max FPS always but its preety good but a 660 is kinda old so I doubt it will be set to medium if so.

I have a 660ti and I would advice you to wait to purchase it. Even on low at 1080p i get some frame drops and it means that playing without capping the frame rate at 30 is awful, stutters all around. At least at 30fps capped you don't get the stutters.

Depending on how long your going to wait to get the new card. If its going to take 3 months I would say wait but any longer just play the game? And with a 660 you will be able to get around 45-60 Frames on the lowest settings on 1080p.

Seriously? I run it fine with an i5 2500k and a R9 270 at high on 1080p. Sure, there are sometimes frame drops but rarely. Most settings are on high, only a few on medium. It's very playable, I'm loving the game.

When I am running around on the countryside the frames go from +60 to ~40, and its very noticeable. On Novigrad where there are a lot of people around its even worse, I can't keep 60fps. Also the goddamn drivers keep crashing. I'll probably stop playing until I can upgrade my GPU.

What your resolution OP?

 

I wouldn't play it until you get the 980 Ti. Reason Hairworks. It's a really cool feature and makes the hair effects so much better but it's very demanding.

1080p IPS. Next month buying a IPS 1440p monitor.

def wait till you get the 980 Ti.

 

also make sure you do a good OC on the 980 TI and possibly set hair works AA to 4x in the settings.

Ok. My card must really be old

Witcher 3 is just really demanding especially at 1440p with hairworks so you'll need all the power you can get. 

 

You'll want a 1.275-1.31v on the GPU, max power limit, 1400-1500 Mhz core and 7600-8000 mhz memory clock to squeeze every last bit of power for Witcher 3. 

 

If the FPS still isn;t to your liking then consider setting hair works AA to 4x from 8x as 8x is really overkill at 1440p.

Witcher 3 has a fantastic art style and looks great even at lower settings. There is in game options to cap it at 30fps and use hardware cursor which maintains good responsiveness and stability on older systems.

Ultra 60fps wait VS Low 30fps play now.

 

I vote play now!!!

Almost bought a 970 but with 3.5gb and it being best at 1080p I decided not to.
