The title says it all, I have more than 330 hours in this game and I was running it with a 970 GTX. I've bought a new GTX 1070 so I can play this game properly. There wasn't any problem a week ago, the game reached 60 fps easily, but now the game is a mess performance wise.

Here's my config !

GTX 1070 ( 8GB VRAM)
I7 4790K
12 GB ram

Help please ! :)

Hi there,

Novigrad can cause most systems to "choke" a bit, so if you are just talking about that I am not surprised. I am playing on a similar system - and I also experience slowdowns in the grand city. I think it is the coding more than anything else. However, if the problems have started after you bought a GTX 1070 there are some things you should try doing.

1. Make sure you have the newest Nvidia drivers. The GTX 1070 is such a new card so you could be experiencing driver issues - given that you are using an older version. Always keep your drivers up to date.

2. It could be unrelated to the new graphics card - it could be corrupt or missing files. Try deleting all mods and reinstalling the game. (If you are using GOG Galaxy just use the "verify/repair" function and do not reinstall - sometimes you can miss certain visual C++ files after patching it seems).

3. Make sure your PSU is working properly and make sure your system is sufficiently cooled. Overheating can also cause slowdowns and even sudden shutdowns.

I hope you can use some of this advice. And by the way: Congratulations with your GTX 1070!

I seem to be getting 60 FPS with everything turned on max (at 1980x1200 resolution) except for hairworks turned off.

I do get a little screen tearing with quick turning of the camera. Does anybody else get this? Anything I can do to minimize that effect?

I'm getting the exact same thing and it's driving me fucking crazy. I was using an Phenom II Black edition X4 955 and a 7870, but the 7870 died so I replaced it with an r9 380x. With the 7870, I had most post processing on and most of the graphics set to low/med, but I had background characters set to high. When in towns, my fps was the exact same as outside of towns, which was a steady 45. Now, with my r9 380x, I can't even get above fucking 32 fps in towns, even if I set every single video option the lowest it can go and turn all post processing off. Meanwhile, I can get 50-60 fps outside of towns with everything set to high and a few to ultra.

Also, by towns I mean Crow's Perch, Oxenfurt, and Novigrad. I have yet to get to skellige or the DLC, but I don't imagine those towns will be much different.

Oh, and I'm also quite positive there's a memory leak, as I start the game and it runs at 2.3gb of memory used, none of it precached. In a few hours, task manager will tell me it's 7+gb of not-precached memory used, which will eventually get to the point where it crashes explorer because windows uses 1gb to run and I just have 8gb of ram.

Probably from your paging file, make sure it's set to Windows managed.

That should resolve Explorer crashing, although it doesn't help with framerate.

I'm running the game on max settings with a FX 8350 processor and R9 380 card with 16GB of 1866 at 2560X1080 with no problems. Maybe look into upgrading your processor.

I hate to repeat myself, but again: Check your PSU and cooling. Novigrad is a challenge for all systems meaning that your temperature (and power consumption) is going to peak. It sounds a bit like that could be the issue to me.

Turning on Vsync fixed my issues.
