Greetings! So I pre-ordered W3 the day it was announced. A year later the system requirements were revealed, and it turned out, that my GPU did not meet the minimum requirements. But I did not cancel my pre-order. Now when it is finally out, I can tell that I can run it. BUT! the funny and strange thing is:
1) 30 fps lock is more stable than 60 fps lock
2) ALL postprocessing options do not affect my fps AT ALL
3) difference between ULTRA and LOW settings is like 15 fps.

What problems are you having?

Are any performance patches coming?

My thanks!
Hmm, is your GPU ATI/AMD or Nvidia? I have a theory about this but currently is just a theory.

I also got lot of FPS problems, even with Vsync off...
This is a joke!
CD Projekt RED: "We are a PC centric team, and we won't fail our game, like other devs did in 2014"
Now: PC version got lot of optimization problems, keybinds are barely customizeable, PC PORT IS HORRIBLE!
I'm playing for six hour by now... Not a single problem.

Playing at 1080p ULTRA preset except foliage HIGH, getting 40 FPS average. The game seems amazingly optimized IMHO.

My PC: Intel 3570K, 8GB RAM, RADEON R 9 280 3GB VRAM

With that PC you should get smooth 60fps if the game would be optimized.
yes.this game need a realy Big Performance patch... only rich players with TITAN X can run this game smoothly...

It is not fully true, lot of people, and benchmarks show that GTX Titan X can't hold smooth 60fps in Ultra in 1080p.
got min 45 FPS all maxed on my 970 (HOF), so I think the performance is reasonable.
Wouldn't mind if CDP would polish (hehe) the performance a bit. As stated before, one can clearly see this is a console port in my oppinion.
Menu layout, menu behaviour, downgraded graphics.

But hey, in this times, this is quite a good release. Just take a look at GTA and think about the size of Rockstar vs. CDP to see, what a good job CDProjekt did.
My GPU is AMD RADEON HD 6950 :P

On what settings? You can't expect to run the game with 60 FPS on ultra on a mid range card. It runs fine on my 760 GTX and my i5 2500K with all settings on high and HBAO on locked at 30 FPS.

If we compare GTA V PC vs Witcher 3 PC, GTA V beats the hell out of Withcer 3, if we compare them as just games(What is tottaly wrong, since they are different type of games), then Witcher 3 wins.

I don't think I can sign this. The AA settings in GTA are better, nevertheless Witcher has a lot of graphic features GTA only can dream off (and vice versa in some regards, like light and shadow)
Hair, Faces, cloth, so characters in general and vegetation is off the roof @ witcher 3, compared to GTAV.

Guess it's just my opinion.

Yes, it is your opinion ;)
You told us your opinion, just like I did.
Nobody can agree with everyone.

Not a single game from this year (i.e. GTA V, Wolfenstein TNO, etc) runs at 60FPS with this setup at ULTRA 1080p. They are closer to Witcher III FPS 40-50FPS. And W3 has nicer graphics IMO. So not agreeing here.

My GPU is the cheaper R9 280 NOT "x", although is factory overclocked. Again, in my opinion the game seems well optimized. They could, of course, optimize "a bit" more, may be with new GPU drivers or something...

I bet it's your PC that's horrible... I am having zero problems with the game. Also, WSAD is the most common keys to move with in a game, can't believe I'm seeing so many complaints over that.
