Witcher 3 Memory Usage Issue?

Thanatos_G · March 15, 2016

Yesterday, I finally began playing The Witcher 3. As i played for about 2 hours I was strictly Geralt. Everything was good. Running at 60-75 fps on High On my GTX 970

Well... Today I started playing as Ciri And well... You could say the experience was less favorable. Huge FPS drops when i logged in I was getting low 40s. I bumped everything to Low

And i was lucky to get low 50s...

After looking at the GPU it was cranked to 99% But only using about 800-1000MB Of Memory. Which is odd.

What is going on? And why is the performance so vastly worse than yesterday... Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Sounds normal, if you don't have an FPS limit your GPU will usually be pinned at 100%

Something else must have been affecting it.

Check out the graphs in MSI afterburner and see if anything else is maxed out (possibly the CPU)

I'm just curious as to why the performance is so much worse than yesterdays. If this was a norm for the 970 I would be fine with it. But its running so slow it seems.

Hopefully Afterburner will shed some light on it
