Random question, does it compare equally to the 290x?

290X is slightly faster

 

but the 390 runs cooler

For Witcher 3, you need all the speed you can grab.

290x

Haha, Witcher 3 at a mix of high and ultra used about 1.8 GB on my 970 at 1080p.

GTX 970 is your best bet.

Anything pre-November is invalid as that's when the new drivers hit and increased performance drastically

By 1.5% in Witcher 3 at 1080p on the Fury X (blue = 900p, red = 1080p, green = 1440p, purple = 4k), so the 970 probably still wins since it had a 7.5% lead on the Catalyst drivers.

With Essenthy's Super Turbo Lighting Mod and everything off/on low besides V-sync, Bloom, AA, HBAO+, textures (high), detail (high), and flora visibility range (high) I'm still seeing a solid 60FPS on my GTX 960, and the game looks like it did in the E3 2014 demo. Even without the mod, the settings turned to low have almost no noticeable visual impact.

Everyone thinks The Witcher 3 is borderline impossible to run, and criticizes the NVidia Hairworks feature because it crushes performance and does almost nothing. The truth is, almost all of the settings in The Witcher 3 do this (namely Water, Shadows, and Grass Density, which have NO visible impact whatsoever). The Witcher 3 is, in fact, very easy to run when you lower these settings.

This means you should be able to get a consistent 60FPS with these settings with a 390/970 at 1440p and a Fury X2/980ti at 4k.

Crimson WHQL is Crimson 15.13, not 15.11. Not valid.

Stop, please stop. You're moving the goal post and don't even own the 390 nor have you ever. The Crimson driver suck, Crimson itself is awesome but the drivers fucking suck. For every fps they offer they take something in return. Be that lack of smoothness or crashes.
