how to maintain 60fps with my GTX 980ti&4790K with witcher 3?

[saiftech]

ok i know with my pc spec GTX 980ti and 4790k i can get 80+ or 100+ easy but what i want is to make the game at MAX setting the 2 settings that is most importent to me is the 1440p and hairworks so other then lowering these setting is there another way to MAX up the setting with out lowering the Res and hairworks? and do you guys notice any difference between hairworks AA?

 

which setting should I lower to maintain 50+fps I dislike it when it drops at 49fps or less

You can't. Hair works is still poorly optimised or just too intensive.

Just turn off Hairworks it's pointless and kills fps

like i said i dont want to lower hairworks i wanna lower something else is there any other thing that kills the fps in the game?

Turn down the graphics, duh Hairworks costs me about 10FPS when i play the Witcher 3 so if you REALLY want to maintain 60FPS id say turn that down, or lower other graphical settings.

I know! but what setting should I lower?

Yes but hairworks is the only problem once you turn off that 60fps is easy. It's makes little to no difference with hairworks off anyways and you're not really specific as to what settings you run at anyways.

At 1440p AA is less of an issue, so 2x AA is really all you'll need so turning the down is an option if you haven't already. Hair works really is poorly optimised and very intensive for what it is - personally I'd just turn it off and drop the AA to 2x as tearing isn't as much of a problem at 1440p and 4k.

use MFAA if youre using MSAA

I have always 60+fps with heavy tweaked witcher 3 in 1440p and HW off. HW is so bad optimized, its not worth it.

I mean, IMO hairworks makes Gerald's hair worse.

But in response to the OP, none of the settings seems to make a real impact on FPS, except maybe foliage distance or whatever it's called, I'd lower that to high

[ConnorDahne]

I set hairworks to the second setting "geralt and monsters" i believe..
So the important stuff has hairworks, and I still get to run 1440p.
I average right at 60fps with 970sli. Should be semi similar lol

I can run it around 45-50 FPS with everything maxed, hairworks on 2xMSAA, 1920x1200 with my old GTX 780.

It stutter a bit and sometimes have a framdrop, but, still acceptable. Not a big framedrop anyway.

I run 60fps on everything ultra, even hairworks at 2x MSAA but with shadows on low (there is no visibility difference) and density in high. I even get to keep hbao+ on. With mods. Although with my "cutscene lighting mod" I lose about 7 fps.

On a 970.

The quality you'd lose lowering other settings to keep Hairworks isn't worth the tradeoff.

 

I run 1440p on a GTX 980 and i5-4690k with hairworks and chromatic abbrasion off (it's mild, but can't stand it in games). Everything else is set to Ultra except foilage distance, which is on high.

 

I maintain 50-60fps at all times, rarely dipping down to 45fps. With G-sync this is smooth as I need it.
