Performance of Witcher 3 The game's execution quality and overall experience.
Hi, I’ve played Witcher 3 for around 74 hours using a 970 and an i7 2700k @4.4. Throughout the session it ran at 40 fpss, though there were moments when it hit 60-70 fps. Lowering the graphics settings from ultra to low didn’t make much of a difference. This issue has been bothering me for some time, and I haven’t found a solution yet. Also, I just tested the game on version 1.06 recently.
I assume the game reaches 60fps in Novigrad and Skellige. Adjusting the distant foliage setting makes a big difference—hardware struggles most with it. The next biggest impact comes from shadows, but switching from low to ultra adds only about 4 fps. Reducing it further to high gives nearly a 10 fps boost compared to the lower setting.
