The GTX 980 struggles with low-light performance.
The GTX 980 struggles with low-light performance.
Despite my age, I can still play Witcher 3 and other games nonstop at full frame. I don’t understand why the situation is this way.
It seems the power consumption would likely cause the system to slow down or stop during intense gaming sessions, possibly due to safety protocols in newer processors like I7 Sandy Bridge.
It seems the issue isn't with your GPU after all. I didn’t realize the game was using more CPU power. Appreciate the clarification!
The term latency refers to network delays, while framedrops relate to hardware performance. Latency indicates a specific delay, but framedropping doesn’t introduce it, so it can’t cause lag. As I mentioned earlier, reducing draw distance improves gameplay. This idea was highlighted in the post you referenced. You might want to check it out.
Consider switching to a newer processor like Haswell or Broadwell/Sky Lake, or opt for a console version.
