Very Low Fps With Ryzen 5 3600 and Rx 5700

[mixalis_neila]

Hello guys, i am getting 8-25 fps average with ultra settings on with Rx 5700 and Ryzen 5 3600, 25-40 at lower graphics in this game and its really frustrating. I run the witcher 3 with 70-100 fps at ultra. i know witcher 2 is an old game without good optimization but is there any fix-solution for this matter? With a quick search on the internet many people with rx 5700 have the same problem.Ubersampling is off, I tried changing the texturememorybudget to a higher number as some suggested but it didnt affect anything inside the game, only the fps count in the loading screen.I will reinstall the game but i dont think it will change anything :/ . If u could help it would be appreciated.

I have this problem too, Help!

What resolution are you using?

I play with everything max, even ubersampling, with a slight OC of +80 gpu and +300 Vram, but I'm also using a 2070 super, and I can tell you, you need at least a 2070 super (or 1080 ti) to run the game with ubersampling. I know you said you disabled it, but if you run the game at 4k, it should be the same.

this game is known to have dog-s-h-i-t optimization


even i used to get 25fps everything low on my old laptop even and yes ubersampling was OFF

spec being

gtx 770m

windows 8.1

intel core i5 2.8 ghz quad core base frequency being 1.8 something

problem was it used only 20 percent of my cpu

i ran tomb raider on my ancient machine just fine but this is unplayable crap i know the devs were not well funded and all but thats all just an excuse

Mine is 1080p still lag 2-4 fps. :'(

several threads in the witcher 3 and fallout 4 forums about the 5700. perhaps problems relating to a relatively new card and driver.

Well yes, throw a low end pc when it comes to gaming at a game that was very advanced for when it came out and don't expect great results. The optimisation is fine.

Regarding the 5700, it seems to be a driver bug. I would either try rolling back a driver or two, otherwise you may have to wait for amd to fix the issue.

I don't know man I played crysis 2 and crysis 1 on average 45 FPS with custom settings but yeah witcher 2 was very ""advanced"" and comparatively unoptimized

Crysis 2 is certainly scales more. I hit 200fps at times maxed @1440p (uber sampling disabled) in Witcher 2 and my card is better then 5700, but not that much better. It is an amd driver issue, which happens with new cards semi frequently unfortunately.

It has to be your GPU, I just run the game on ultra with uber and I had around 50-60 fps. When I turn uber off I had 70-80 fps. Using AMD 2600 with Geforce 2060 super on 1080p. I know that RX 5700 have very bad drivers, thats why I went with Nvidia. Check AMD sub reddit.

Always with you backseat developers. When The Witcher 2 was new, I owned a q6600, 8GB of ram and a gts 450, and I was able to play the game just fine with mixed settings at something between 720 and 1080p (it was a 16:10 ratio monitor). When I upgraded to a i5 2500 and a 560ti, the game ran fine with the same monitor but everything on ultra with the exception of ubersampling.

This game runs on potatos and high end hardware, it's not the game's fault if some hardware has bad driver support or whatever. The Witcher 2 was a pc game and only got ported to consoles several months after release.

The game looks really good and it's amazing that it has graphic features out of the box that even current hardware can only handle in the high end price range.

First I have to second everything MundM said. FFS I'm playing the game out of the box on an old quad core processor from 2012 and an Nvidia 1080 TI. Everything is maxed *including* ubersampling and I see about 50 fps on average.

Only problem I've ever had has been the occasional utterly random freeze of the whole game, a couple of inexplicable crashes to desktop, and a few cut scenes that faded to black then took their sweet time loading up the cinematic. I've never experienced actual lag in gameplay or combat, with the single exception of a time I was fighting right at the edge of one of those spots where the little loading(?) icon shows in the bottom right corner. I was dodging around over that spot and the system hiccuped a bit. Anyhoo....

Looking across a bunch of threads, it's definitely a driver issue with the 5700, specifically.

Both the rx 5700 and the 5700 xt seem to be borking hard on Witcher 2/3 for a LOT of people.

I found all of 3 that said they were able to get Witcher 2 working at a whopping 15-20fps. It took solidly burning down their graphics drivers install (meaning two of the three folks had to download 3rd party software specifically designed to do a really...really....no we mean it....clean install of video drivers) and doing a squeaky clean install of both graphics drivers and direct X (I'm not understanding what direct X had to do with it, personally...but whatever).

Anyhoo those three people all said it was driver 11.3 that worked for them for the 5700 and witcher 2. Hope that shortens your troubleshooting adventures.

Overall though, enough people are having *massive* problems with the 5700 that I figure it's gonna be another fiasco like that card the company released a while back with a faulty fan that routinely overheated and fried....

[MundM]

And I can second your second paragraph, Vashra.

The game crashes randomly, and sometimes a cut scene takes a while. I also want to add a recreateable bug, where when you are about to throw a bomb and get hit, Geralt freezes in the crouched position with the moveable orange dot for aiming. He won't throw a bomb and you can't get out of that posittion so it's rewind reload time.

I'd say those are minor, given that I am used to saving and loading often anyway, duo to the unforgiving combat (I like it when you figure out how to perfectly deal with an enemy, even Letho in the first fight, but until you do, you coul swear this game was never play testet).


I'm sure you AMD users will get a better driver soon. AMD was never got at delivering gpu drivers from what I've heard.

I havent checked the exact FPS I'm getting but it runs good on my vega 56 . I turned off ubersampling

[Σ+]

I get stable 60 on an R5 3600 and 5700 with everything maxed cept for Ubersampling.

I am using drivers 19.12.1 and not the 2020 edition has those need a lot of maturity it seems.

My RX 570 with 19.12.2 driver works flawlessly1080p@60 with Ultra settings (ubersampling off)
