I turned on dx11 executable and the game runs much better. On dx12 with ultra + and rt off i got 45 -55 fps in novigrad, now with only ultra + obviously, I get a steady 60 fps with occasionnal dips in the same area.

Game isn't running good for me either.. hovers between 42 - 65 fps with RT effects on (even with selective options).

With RT off, its like 60 - 120 fps at 1920 x 1080, but it is a stutter fest.. can't play it.

GSYNC and Fullscreen mode set in graphics options helped cure majority of stutters, but it still does it. Its like you look in one direction 120 fps, turn around 50 fps..

LMAO - thanks for laugh dude. You're hilarious

Calm down, fan-boi.

Same problem as others. 5900x + RTX 3080 and 64gb RAM 3600mhz running on current version Win10, getting 50-60fps in 2k resolution on uber+ and DLSS set to Quality (performance gives a couple fps only). Is the fix coming?

I would like 60 fps, but I've managed to make my game playable / bearable to me personally.. game looks gorgeous.

All RTX on, everything set to high, DLSS on quality.

Nvidia driver control panel > VSYNC ON > GSYNC ON (exclusive full screen) > Set Witcher 3.exe Max FPS to 40.

No more stutters.. hopefully we get fixes so I can bump to 60.

Es increible que después del lanzamiento tan desastroso que tuvo CP2077 y romper todas las ilusiones y confianza depositada en CDProject, pues gracias a The Witcher 3 se la habian ganado, ahora todavia sean capaces de hundir mas la moral de la poca gente que quedaba entre los jugadores dando les apoyo.
No me puedo creer que tengan la poca verguenza de volver a repetir la historia.
Antes del lanzamiento de CP2077 comunicaron en una entrevista, con un par de ...., que los bugs desde el dia de lanzamiento serian tan imperceptibles que ni siquiera los jugadores podrian percibirlos. Claramente estaban faltando a la verdad. Ahora para terminar de dilapidar la poca reputacion que les quedaba lanzan esta mierda de next gen update que no funciona ni en un equipo de alta gama. Pero en el directo de hace una semana nos cuentan que el juego habia pasado unos altos controles de calidad, nuevamente nos toman el pelo...
El juego despues de actualizar a la 4.0 next gen... no funciona, esta rotisimo en cuanto activas el Ray Tracing.
No importa que config uses no funciona. Se puede ver que ademas ni siquiera el Trazado de Rayos hace bien su trabajo pues se pueden ver colores extraños en el suelo. Como un tono rosa tremendamente exagerado si que nada de su alrededor produzca tal destello o reflejo.
Es triste y lamentabe. Ademas corrompe las partidas. Ya no puedo seguir jugando porque al cargar la partida se cierra.
Gracias por todo CDProject. Para los próximos juegos no conteis conmigo. Jamas vuelvo a confiar en un producto vuestro. Ni Remake del TW1, ni nada de nada.
Con mentiras solo se rompe la confianza de las personas y en eso os estais convirtiendo en expertos.

Was super psyched for this and partly influenced me to buy a 3070, which, sad to say, is not enough card for this update.
I think they need to gauge what rtx hardware most people realistically own right now and maybe tune down the GPU demand by 30% or so. Optimize it, remove a little rtx or whatever, but this shouldn't be primarily for people buying $1k+ cards.

No te preocupes no es culpa de tu 3070. Yo la tengo desde que salio al mercado y no he tenido ningun problema con los juegos en config. max settings y a 2160. Incluso Vallhalla me funciona al max en 4k.. es CDProject que nos da una mierda de optimizacion.l

Yeah RT is poorly applied. As soon as I enable RT my frames drop from 145 to 55 while still in the option menu. This is without even enabling the separate RT options. DLSS and other options make no difference. I have an RTX 3080.

Sorry everyone for my latest post on this topic but i see you was right about performance but only on DX12 driver technology. If somebody feel bad about that what im say in latest post, i really sorry. BTW, about performance:

Re-implementation of Raytracing and DLSS/FSR for DX11 i think its better option then stay on DX12 (who been young driver and still unstable - look at Borderlands 3/Dying Light 2).
DX12 - Its new driver technology but still young and unstable then DX11 who been upgraded for 10 years (idk about that, sorry for mistake). Witch every technology used on DX12 - i mean FSR2, DLSS3 and other types i have only stable 30 fps on the same settings like in DX11
DX11 - its better and stil good perfomance driver, when im play WItcher 3 Next-Gen in cutscenes i have 110-120 FPS, on gameplay which huge amount of NPC/less amount of npc (cities/villages) i have stable 55-80 fps)

Guys I found a performance fix for the latest 4.0 patch for PC.

I'm running 3090 and 5800x3d and got 82% GPU usage usually.

I was trying out some thing and found the nvidia hairworks seems bugged.

Solution:

Disable hairworks and you gain like 10fps. performance improves as the GPU runs at 99% usage without hairworks.

I downloaded the game on my computer and on PlayStation as well. I will admit, I giggled as I downloaded the PS4 version first and logged in but then I saw there was a Play Station 5 version and downloaded that and removed the PS4. Extremely confusing but I digress. Back to the PC.

I have the following system:

1. Asus ROG Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial.
2. 11900K all core at 5 GHz
3. 64GB G-Skill Royal Trident
4. 1 TB Samsung 980 NVME Pro x 5 + another 16TB WD Reds. The game is installed on a 7000 MB/s drive.
5. 2 x 27 inch MSI QD Monitors @165Hz 1440p resolution.
6. EKWB Nvidia RTX 3080TI
7. Be Quiet Dark Power Titanium 1200W.

The short version: the game does not provide me with the experience I should get given my computer.
It is clear now more than ever that CDPR has joined the broken dev game club and shall no longer be the standard in the industry.

I had no issues running HairWorks before this upgrade, so I wonder if I'll get this same boost?
