anybody plays this in 1060Ti?

[Von Grenadus]

i have occasional (frequent, actually) lag while playing this game, fps could go from 7-50.
my specs are i7-7700Hq 2.80ghz. a 3gb gtx 1060ti gddr5, 16gb ram, and 100 something gb ssd. i tried the nvidia experience thing and it says the optimal settings for my laptop are on ultra! i tried to play on low but didn't see any significant improvement in performance. i tried many solutions on the internet, none worked, is it because i have the 3gb version of 1060? i dont really want to lower the resolution, i hurts to even hover my cursor over there :(

ignore the person saying your laptop isnt powerful enough to run the game, they are clearly not a laptop user and as such are not yet fimilar with how laptop gaming works. (i used to play on a laptop prior to building my current pc) its plenty powerful enough. what you want to do is lower your texture resolution, so that will be an option in the settings. this is due to your 3gb vram as often on ultra settings (which a 1060 or a 1060ti should be getting 50-60fps on for the most part) the vram gets full. you will also need to turn of anti alysing on hair works and maybe in general to save compute power and avoid fps drops. this should also gain you 60fps on avg. the witcher 3 isnt overly cpu dependednt and so your cpu is fine. also your spu will have a boost speed far higher then the base speed and as such even if it was actually cpu demanding your i7 will be fine

the game needs more than 3gb ram to run at steady 60fps on ultra

I play it on a new Aasus laptop, with no issues on ultra settings. I7 8750H, 16gig ram and a GTX1060. You will be fine. :)

Do you read?

You will be fine bud, just play with settings a bit, like texture and hair works, keep attention to the temp and you'll be fine, I used to play GTA V on a GT720M mobile GPU lol, that's a DDR3 GPU

EDIT - ALSO, don't lower your resolution dude, it's only gonna give your CPU more hard time, keep the res in 1080p.

A GTX 1060 cannot run this entire game on ultra 1080p at 60 fps. It will drop.

A GTX 1070 cannot run this entire game on ultra 1440p at 60 fps. It will drop.

A GTX 1080 cannot run this entire game on ultra 4k at 60 fps. It will drop.

At best, if you want completely stable 60 fps at near max settings you would need a better card or lower settings.

So a 1070 should run consistently at 60 fps but only at 1080p.

A 1080 should run consistently at 60 fps, but only at 1440p or less.

It's not even truly that badly optimized, it just beats up graphics cards.

SLI is still a thing for a reason.

oh right, temperature... my temperature skyrocketed to 90degree celcius, i suppose that's the problem?

yeah, nah, yeah a écrit :

i did turn those off, tried playing on low, and as i mentioned, the performance is not too far off from when i run the game on ultra (might as well play on a lagging ultra settings rather than a lagging low, lol) . i guess it's because my vram is not sufficent? i honestly don't know whats the problem, my friend own a 1050ti and could run the game at 40-50 fps on high. he has 4 gigs of vram though

this fellow's answer also just made me think my laptop just hates me for playing the witcher for some reason, i was able to play any other game well. this is the first game that gave me darksouls level headache but outside of gameplay, sigh

no need to run at ultra though. better keep reso and dial things back gradually toward med.

if op's temp problems then cooling/ventillation's suspect.

Reminds me to dust my poor PC. It's only been a month but I live in a desert and have [other people's] cats.

yeah, i think it's the problem, the damn thing reached 80 degrees celcius without me doing anything, well it's been two years since i bought this laptop i guess

It is close :)

I just loaded it up and ran around to check. Running around in the middle of the biggest city gets:

50% of the time: 60 fps
40% of the time: 55-59 fps
10% of the time: 52-54 fps

Outside town I didn't see any dips. Held steady at 60 fps.

Okay,first of all 1060 ti doesn't exist assuming you got 1060 3gb desktop version in that laptop it will perform almost the same as refrence edition if you can control the thermals,your CPU is more than enough for the game as long as you keep it from throttling to base clock(which rarely happens even on bad cooled laptops).
The Witcher 3 at max settings on 1080P always stays under 3GB VRAM usage so you are OK and with turning down the foliage visibility range to high you will hit 60+ constantly.
Have fun!

wait what, seriously? my laptop barely touched 60fps below ultra settings, (that's medium or lower), heck, it even ran 7fps at worst on that damned niflgardian garrison on the beginning of the game, lol there's something seriously wrong with my laptop. thank you for confirming that 1060 could run this game smoothly though.
