Optimizing The Witcher 3 for Lower Framerates
Optimizing The Witcher 3 for Lower Framerates
Hello everyone,
I am presently utilizing an Intel Core i5-4690k (and intend to upgrade to a Ryzen 7 2700x) and an NVIDIA RTX 2070. I’ve observed numerous video creators experiencing approximately 75-80 frames per second with comparable hardware—specifically, a similar processor and graphics card running at 1080 resolution on maximum settings. However, I’m only obtaining a frame rate of 45-60 fps. I'm struggling to understand this discrepancy.
Could you offer any guidance?
Thank you.
Have you installed the newest NVIDIA drivers?

Let me be clear, your processor is an older 4th generation model – a bit dated now – and it's an i5, which isn’t beneficial for graphically demanding games such as Warcraft III. This might be the reason you're experiencing lower frame rates, and it leads me to think that those showing improved performance with similar hardware are either fabricating their results, pushing their processors to extreme overclocking without demonstrating it, or have a problem with software on their systems.
Do you maintain an elevated clock speed using the identical settings employed by these online video creators?
Are you utilizing the same image quality?
The highest settings configuration typically omits anti-aliasing, and this is often set to a minimal level or disabled entirely.
Hello QwerkyPengwen:
Are you utilizing an overclocked system with identical settings to these video creators?
Do you have the same resolution displayed?
Maximum settings often omit anti-aliasing, typically set to a low level or disabled entirely.
Yes, I am operating at the same clock speeds and resolution (1080p). I haven’t yet examined whether anti-aliasing is active. However, even with that consideration, I believe 45 to 60 frames per second might be rather low for a 2070, don't you think?

Let me be clear, your processor is an older 4th generation model, and being an i5 further limits its performance in expansive games like Warcraft III. This might be the reason you’re experiencing lower frame rates, and observing how others achieve better performance with similar CPUs suggests they are either exaggerating their hardware specifications, aggressively overclocking without demonstrating it, running at a higher overclock level than you, or encountering problems with software on your system.

I’m going to say this: your processor is an older 4th generation model, which isn't ideal for modern games like Warcraft III. This might be contributing to your performance issues, and why others are experiencing higher frame rates with similar hardware. It’s possible they're exaggerating their equipment, heavily overclocking without revealing it, using an overclock beyond your capability, or there’s a software problem on your system.
Seriously, I'm losing my mind! I resolved the issue. I hadn't fully inserted the graphics card when I initially plugged it in. Wow, what an embarrassment! Especially considering this isn’t my first time building or updating computers. I can't believe how foolish I was.
I’m now achieving 90-120 frames per second on maximum settings – incredible! I was beginning to suspect the graphics card or CPU was defective.
Thank you for your assistance, though.
Haha. A poorly seated graphics card. I hope it didn’t cause any damage. It's great that you were able to fix everything!

I'm going to suggest that your processor is a 4th generation model, which is somewhat outdated now, and an i5 processor isn’t beneficial for graphically intensive games like Warcraft III. This might be the reason you're experiencing lower frame rates, and observing how others achieve better performance with similar CPUs suggests they are either exaggerating their hardware specs, heavily overclocking without revealing it, or have a software issue.
Seriously, I’m frustrated right now. I resolved the problem by simply not fully inserting the graphics card when I initially connected it. It’s embarrassing, especially considering this isn't my first time building or updating computers. I can hardly believe how foolish I was.
I’m now experiencing frame rates between 90 and 120 with all settings at maximum. That’s amazing! I was starting to suspect the graphics card might be defective or that my processor was severely underperforming.
Thanks for your assistance, friend.
Laughing out loud. A poorly seated graphics card appears to be the cause. Let’s hope no damage was sustained. It's a relief that everything is working correctly, and you’re getting significantly better performance than anticipated given your processor.
