Your 980 should handle Witcher 3 well with the current settings. For a smoother experience, consider adjusting resolution or texture quality if needed. Check in-game options for performance tweaks.
You can begin with Witcher 3, though some aspects might be confusing. You’ll likely miss certain details, but you won’t need to focus on every character. Some may not interest you unless you dive into additional reading for their backstories. The journal in the game helps, but it differs from the stories in books. After the 1.07 update, Hairworks runs smoothly on your GTX 980 with adjusted settings. I can even play it now on my GTX 770, though that required lowering quality without anti-aliasing for a decent experience.
Are there any updates that enhance Witcher 1's appearance similar to Mass Effect? If yes, I’d enjoy playing from 1 to 3.
