Hi,
recently i upgraded my CPU and Motherboard. But i have a problem. For example i'm trying to play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Max settings. But i'm only getting 25-40 FPS. This should not happen cause i'm pretty sure that i have a strong enough setup:

CPU: i7-4790K, 4 GHz
Motherboard: ASRock B85M Pro4
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 290X, 4 G
RAM: Corsair 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit

I also have a SSD card of 128 GB.

I have tried overclocking my CPU but that doesn't seem to change enything. Maybe these don't work to good together, or i haven't installed something correctly. Or i really can't run The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Max settings and 60 FPS. If so please tell me what i need to do to be able to do this. :)


Thank you,

Zepdes

AMD cards doesn't run The Witcher 3 all that well actually, though if you disable Hairworks and lower a few settings to high you'd at least get playable fps.

So in short, no you can't run it with everything maxed out.

Try these settings and see if it improves your performance:


GRAPHICS
Hair works OFF
Number of Background Characters ULTRA (CPU Dependent)
Shadow Quality HIGH
Terrain Quality ULTRA
Water Quality ULTRA
Grass Density ULTRA
Texture Quality ULTRA
Foliage Visibility Range HIGH (resource hog)
Detail Level ULTRA

POST PROCESSING
Motion Blur OFF
Blur OFF
Anti-Aliasing ON
Bloom ON
Sharpening OFF
Ambient Occlusion SSAO
Depth of Field ON
Chromatic Aberration ON
Vignetting ON
Light Shafts ON
