I'm testing the Witcher series to prepare for Witcher 3, but the game will lag a lot when I just walk around. It's more annoying than other titles. I assumed it was an older version on my 144Hz monitor, so I changed to 60Hz. I also tried triple buffering and VSync, but the frame rate stays at 60fps while it stutters unexpectedly.
Recent options that work with GTX 780 are reliable and compatible.
Check if you're using fullscreen or a borderless layout. Certain titles may show noticeable lag in borderless versions, like Borderless, and performance can differ from person to person.
In Witcher 2 you have the option to adjust VRAM usage. It won’t consume all three gigabytes, but it might improve performance. Save the configuration file with Notepad or WordPad. TextureMemoryBudget=3072 This value matches my R9 290 setup. With a 3-gig card, you might set it to 2 gigs. Test it out. Witcher 2 should handle maximum settings with ubersampling on a 780, though. It runs smoothly on my Tri-x, but ubersampling didn’t work well on my GTX 770. Witcher 1 seems tricky—Nvidia Control Panel doesn’t allow setting caps in the INI file. Check forums for tips; some suggest limiting to 60 FPS or 144 on Riva Statistics (MSI afterburner). A guide I made focuses on achieving around 30 frames per second, paced like a console. Try restricting it in Riva. Some very old titles can behave oddly when newer cards push them to high frame rates.
I actually resolved the issue by using D3DOverrider, which made it smoother after applying the forcing vsync triple buffer. It performed better than the Nvidia control panel I used before.
