Hi everyone.

I'm here because i have a problem of stuttering on this game.

I have a good config ( GTX980, i7 4790K, 16GB DDR ) and i have around 60fps constant but when i playing, i have a lot of stuttering ( and the fps stay at 60 ).

I see that more when i'm on the horse.

I'm not the only one, on french forum ( i'm french ) i see peaple that have the same problem like me ( on GTX 970 and 980 ).

My setting was on extrem ( ubber ? ) with full screen mode, v-sync and fps lock at 60.

Does anyone have this problem here and/or a solution ?

Thanks

From just reading this i think of the stutter issue from Skyrim, possibly try lower ur FPS a tiny bit and lock it there. best of luck

I am having the same problem. But, I've not been hearing very many people complaining about it, mostly just general issues with frame rate. I have: AMD Phenom II x4 965(3.8ghz), GTX 970, 8GB ram.

The hitching and stuttering as new geometry and textures load in is borderline unbearable. It's most pronounced while moving around quickly(i.e. while on Roach) through the open world or panning the camera in certain areas. My settings are at 1080 with all settings(including textures) on high, all hairworks off, dynamic super resolution is off. My fps rests between 60-70 in pretty much any scene. Turning off all post processing and setting all graphics options to low has only a very minimal impact. The only setting that reliably deals with the problem is lowering the resolution. And even then it's still there, though much less pronounced. There is no combination of settings that I know of(and I've been experimenting for hours) that eliminates it completely.

I've recently played both Watch Dogs and Far Cry 4 in 1080 at high settings and experienced zero stuttering or hitching. I just recently upgraded to the GTX 970 in anticipation of this game, so I'm pretty bummed. Any work arounds or just wait for the next patch?

I read on other topic to desable Hairworks for the stuttering problem, i will try after work :)

You should be able to run it with hairworks on, without stuttering (I have the same CPU, GPU, RAM).
Do you have The Witcher 3 gameready driver, with geforce experience set to optimized for TW3?

Yeah everything ( driver and gam was up to date )

I have the same system, except 8 GB RAM, had stuttering and low frame rates in certain areas. Had to turn off hair, and turn down a couple things to high, now it runs around 90 FPS most of the time. I have a 144 HZ monitor and even 60 FPS feels too slow for me now, haha.

Wish I could afford a second GTX 980.

*crying* Oh you, people with almost constant 90 FPS, while we, AMD users, can barely enjoy almost constant 35FPS.

Regarding the stuttering - I believe you just have to change to Full Screen in video settings.

I had at the beginning the same issue, with nearly the same rig, but i have a solution for that which worked for me.
Just turn off vsync ingame and set fps limit to unlimted.
Turn on adaptive Sync in Nvidia-Controlpanel and set performance to full in Controlpanel.
You should get mostley a smooth experience with hairworks on.
I have also reduces foliage distance to high and shadows to high, but that should not bother the stuttering.

Well, it looks like fps limiting was the fix for me. The 60 fps setting made very little improvement but the 30 fps setting fixed the problem entirely. How this fixes the hitching I have no idea, but it does. I initially didn't even give the setting a shot because I knew running the game at 30 fps was unacceptable. I used instructions from this post

to modify the limiter and tried out 45 fps instead. The hitching is still almost non-existent and the frame rate is very acceptable. Though, I could see screen tearing being a problem at that fps for people without g-sync monitors.
