The PC version is not that much better than console version

[NikiUh]

I have played the console version first, after that I decided to play the PC version. After 90 hours of playing, I havent found any big difference except the loading times and framerate. I am really disappointed, I thought the ultra settings in this game were by far better than console graphics. I cant understand the hate the console version gets, the Witcher 3 runs smooth most of the time and it looks almost as good as PC version on ultra/high. Of course 60 frames are better than 30 frames, but on consoles it feels so much smoother, for me like 40/50 frames on PC. What do you think of that?

feelings're feeling and facts're facts. only double blind experiment can tell for sure whether 30 frames on console feel same as 40/50 on pc.

[NikiUh]

You are completly wrong about that. You dont have a console, thats why you cant argue here. Many PC players are experiencing the same like me, if you play Witcher 3 on PC with 30 frames, you are getting cancer. But playing on 30 frames on console is something different here.

that's why i think double blind's only way to go. just read first two lines of top post.

I can see a noticeable difference between the PC and PS4 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUtquPxjp7w

and this is through youtube's compression. The consoles also only run this game at 30 fps which yes is doable for third person but 60 fps is so much smoother.

Ugh, it looks so bad on the ps4. Novigrad is basically empty! How is a huge city like that empty?

lol....4k here @ 60fps with everything cranked. A PS4 or XB1 would manage 10-15fps (if that) trying to run the same IQ settings.

I give you a D- on the trolling effort as there's no way you could possibly be serious. :)

Played it on my nephew's PS for nearly 2 hours before I realised he had a awesome gaming PC in den.
Proceeded to play it for 10 more hours on that. because...PC.
There is no comparison really.

[NikiUh]

Of course I am the idiot now... I am serious here. The difference between the 2 versions are noticable, I have never said that, what I wanted to say was the fact, that the consoles are not as weak as everyone says. They hold up pretty well considering the low price you have to pay...

Novigrad neither is empty on console nor on PC. If you play both verions, you will not say, that the console version looks empty. This was patched a long time ago.

I really doubt, you could afford a gaming pc able to play this game in 4k, ultra and 60 fps. If you could, you wouldnt write like a arrogant, and selfish person...
Seriously, to be able to play Witcher 3 at 4k at ultra and 60 frames, you need 2 GTX 1080ti, both cost more than 1000€....

Just ignore the elitist, the consoles do a good job for what they cost, although I wish 60 fps would be a higher priority for them.

and even if you can afford it would you rather spend money on it and not something else? ;)

One 1080ti 4k ultra w/o hairworks or aa (using nvidias fxaa rather) and no ao constant 60 everywhere. Besides not sure if TW3 scales well with sli.

Would you really wanna sacrifice HBAO+ though

Honestly? Not that big of a difference, sure it might look "flatter" but at 4k I can say that its worth having it off for 60fps. Besides the performance hit isnt worth it. Avg -10 to -15fps
