I don't understand why entering city or any location causes such big FPS drops, bringing it down to 40 and sometimes 35. It's really frustrating even though my PC isn't weak. I have a GTX970, an i5 4690k, and 8GB RAM. I've got the latest drivers installed. This is the configuration I'm using!

You can execute Ultra no hairworks smoothly at 50 frames per second.

Now that we're finished with that, turn off V-Sync. Still, it’s a bit slow going at those levels.

(3.5GB V-RAM joke included!)

I have identical specifications, and it's also happening to me. The CPU usage hits 100% when loading the city, which isn't related to the GPU. I can play this game on Ultra using Hairworks at the lowest settings while maintaining 55fps.

Interesting. The majority of users with GTX 970 / R9 290 systems enjoy their performance, yet several think 40 frames per second is achievable in titles such as Witcher 3. Consider disabling GameWorks, which is usually the initial step to try.

Use MSI After Burner to monitor GPU utilization in real time on your screen.

It's unusual given the hardware setup you described. Running The Witcher 3 near maximum performance with an i5-4670 and two GTX 980 graphics at high resolution seems challenging, especially maintaining around 58 FPS in city scenes.

It's strange, but I think it's unrelated to the GPU. My frame rate stabilizes after the CPU finishes loading the city.
