HiryouganFor you:

But i agree, the game looks absolutely amazing!
Also, set shadows at medium. This helps frame rate too. CDPR did such a good job with shadows that "medium" shadows is about where everyone else's high quality shadows are.

qubitI hope they've finally fixed that recently introduced bug in the last few driver versions that prevents UT2004 from running properly in SLI mode, but I'm not holding my breath.
Nah, it's even worse. :rolleyes:

I'll have to stop procrastinating and register on the NVIDIA forums to tell them about it so that they can ignore it.

Don't believe it. Let your own experience guide you. According to that my 780 ran like it was stuck in molasses. Yet that is far from the case (see my posts in Witcher 3 discussion thread). It ran like a dream.

Those benches are whacked if they are correct considering that the 780 Ti is a little more powerful than the 970. Guru3D has some numbers up from another site that show the 970 beating the 780 Ti by 20%. Soon we will have more benchmarks.

I doubt nvidia would abandon kepler. Knowing them they'll deliver a driver optimizing kepler for recent games but that's later down. So just wait a bit

As per the Official Witcher 3 thread, it's worth reading the full article, the performance varies between difference areas of the game:

Obviously with Maxwell being soo good, they need to target Kepler now it seems. :p

Currently getting a 'black screen' when installing these drivers - I use displayport and ive plugged DVI in and it still shows no signal. when i hit the power button and my pc shuts down, everythings fine when i start it back up except that Nvidia control panel constantly crashes.
