I have been playing to witcher 3 from the week next to the release date, and I didn´t noticed anything, however now Im having a lot of stutter in towns and cities, it occurs when I use fast travel or when I load the game in the village. After a walk arround it diminishes but not completely disappears. The most strange issue is that it still happens with the same intensity even in low settings and 720p. I have tried everything changing settings and the new AMD drivers 15.5 and the omega ones 14.12 and no solution. Anyone know a solution? dis any of you have the same problem? ç

My specs:

GPU: Gygabite R9 290
CPU: Intel I7 4770k
Ram: 8GB

Thank you very much.
Try setting Pre-Rendered Frames to from 0 to 1. I have GeForce so I am not sure where in AMD Catalyst is the setting for it but I hope there is one. I have set mine to 1 and the stutter is completely gone.

I have read about this solution but i don´t know if this option exist in catalyst, i dont think so. Is there any external app with the same effect?
I did not find any solution yet, patch 1.07 has been announced, hope it solves my issues. If anybody with my problem find a solution please post. It is strange because it not seems to be a problem of my hardware, I played dragon age inquisition in Ultra with no problem, metro last light the same, crysis 3 and no problem... however witcher 3 stutters even in low settings.

That sounds like a slow hard disk access issue to me. Especially the last sentence I quoted indicates it's one.

Before changing anything on your hardware, do a good defragmentation run on your disk drive, or at least the Witcher game directory. (I recommend ignoring the Windows built-in defrag and use something like Defraggler instead.)

I got rid of mine by forcing it to run with 60FPS limit through RTSS (application followed with MSI AfterBurner). I also forced VSync and Triple Buffering with D3DOverrider.

That said, sometimes for some weird reason the mouse become sluggish and it feels like it's performing slowly even if the framerate is optimal (and no stutter or mini-stutter).

I´ll try this, I feel that the computer when I iniciate it takes a time before working quick and opening the applications and programs fast, may this be a consquence of HD fragmentation? thank you

I have tried with Riva Turner and it didn´t worked but thank you, i will try D3DOverrrider

I don't think VSync will help if a framelimiter won't. I've a quick SSD so I can't comment if a defragging will help but I always keep my mechanical drives fragment free as much as possible so it's a good tips (it might help loading times in case that's a bottleneck).
how much ram do you have free? stuttering could also occur when data is read from hdd to ram, the less ram you have the more loading and stuttering
keep task manager running in the background, it will show you a graph of how much of your memory was used/free
Stuttering on mine resulted from running on too high settings for the graphics card.
Try turning it down.
With a gtx680, I'm running at 30fps with medium settings to avoid fan noise.
Running into this same issue too. Framerate is good and I don't think it is hard drive loading as I can immediately turn back to look at a building I just looked at and get the stutter. Hopefully a patch will help.
