GTX 980 Ti

[Beerus]

Anyone running this card? If so what settings are you using for optimal performance :)

[Sqrly]

I am but you don't say which card. Mine is a MSI GTX 980Ti GAMING 6G. It's already OC'd out of the box.

Everything else makes a difference too and most people don't realize this.

You can take an engine from a Ferrarri and a Transmission from a Lamborgini and stick it in a Mercedez Benz chassis and you'll get a car that runs and handles like crap and breaks down all the time.

People do the same with PC's, they buy a bunch of expensive parts without the knowledge to know if they are fully compatible, toss it all in a case then come post on these forum how games are not optimized because their PC's run like crap.

Anyways, I put the GFX on High, checked my fps was fairly solid and didn't tweak anything. (it dips here and there but only single digits) Haven't had a single issue.

Well i run the game with GTX 960M/GTX 750Ti and im getting 30-60fps low quality settings and upscaling

My apologies, I'm running a NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti as well with a Intel i7-4820K @ 3.70GHz with 16GB of ram. I'm getting quite bad stutter, especially in hogwarts castle and hogmeade. Some areas are really smooth especially outside in the forest and stuff but I get really bad drops in the castle and hogsmeade

My settings are all low as well with rendering at 66% (1280x720) no upscale and TAA high

I'm running a 1080ti 32gb ram 8th gen i5 and I can only just squeeze out 2k ultra/high mix & I still get frame drops. Hope you can use that as a bar to set your standards.

Also try turning off post processing effects, volumetric fog & turn down view distance.
We are both at the point were it would be wise to upgrade our PCs with the next generation of hardware. If we want to play the big AAA unoptimized messes that is.

Thanks for the feedback brother

I'm running this game with an old Titan X, maxwell. Our cards are very similar in performance. I've have 12GB vram, and OC'ed to 1330mhz. (I see the game hovering around 10GB vram usage.)

I'm playing in 1920x1200 resolution, ultra settings, no dof, grain, etc. FSR 2 is on, best quality, and 0,8 sharpening.

80-90 fps in-doors, outdoors mid 40.

Game is on an old 950 Pro m.2, and I have no stutters. (32GB of RAM)

im having no issues at all with a 970, 16gb of ram, i7-2600k. low settings, no crashes, few frame drops here and there. I dont understand how everyone is having so many issues.

Ha that's nice, that was my spec before I've built a new PC a few years ago, nice to see that some people are still rocking this setup :D

980TI here.
Haven't had any issues and running on high settings.
Ive just taken out fog, grain and another similar setting which ive forgotten.
There was a post to optimise your graphics card through the nividia control settings which had helped immensely. As i realised i forgot i had changed my control settings a long time ago for another game.


I also have a i9-10850k with 32gb ram.

[Mikebrowski]

Yeah I am runing this game on low and its still amazes me how well it runs

I think the fact that you have 32gb of ram helps a lot as a lot of people I have seen said 16GB is not enough. Not sure how true that is but yea.

Do you perhaps remember where you saw this optimization post? Been trying quite a few I've seen around.

I changed my settings around a bit now and the game still runs smooth and looks absolutely beautiful. Especially my character in the Yennefer outfit.

I'm still at 1920x1080 (my 24" monitors default) and gameplay is smooth but a few of the cutscenes are a little choppy.

AA Mode: TAA High
Upscale Type: Nvidia NIS
Upscale Mode: Ultra Quality
Reflex: On
VSync: Off
Framerate: 30

The lower framerate is the trick allowing me to push all the settings to ultra without having gameplay lag. 4k Movies on your giant TV run at 30 fps my freind. It's fast enough for the human eyeballs.

Global Quality Preset: Ultra

OFC all the raytracing stuff is greyed out for my GPU
