Kepler fix really working.

They didnt really fix anything,they just brought the optimizations back that they left out when drivers were released with Maxwell cards as their #1 priority.

Russian voice acting is ok my brother plays russian version, but i do prefer ENG.Next buy will be 4k monitor. But game is really nice i downloaded some mods from Nexus community, havent played much around but I think there is some differences,and coz of witcher I stopped FF14 damn sorry need to go back to witcher.

Only mod I've needed is the inventory mod. Without it, I'd just have to dump my inventory somewhere and hope it doesn't disappear. If you want to have all of the Witcher outfits and armament you have to use the inv. mod.

I'm managing to carry Cat, Griffin and Ursine school gear, all at the Superior level and I'm only at about 115/160 with the saddlebags I have.

Is there any reason to have all 3 sets? I decided to just go with medium griffin armor

Devil-Walker · Jun 1, 2015

im going to be running a mix of ursine for armor and vit and cat for attack power

I love me some Enhanced Griffin Armor! I'm not getting rid of it. Plus I have several Greater Qen glyphs in my clothing. It's like a second set of armor!

Not really, but they do have different level requirements for each upgrade.. Plus, there is one level above Superioer, Mastercrafted, so gotta hang on to them until I'm level 37~ and can wear it, haha.

Kaynar · Jun 1, 2015

Im using only cat armor for 4 x 10% attack power so 40% total buff and from the talents you can have another 5% per light armor piece so 60% total damage buff to swords... For those who have played Dark Souls before, this game is very easy so light armor is perfectly fine. As for the weapons, random Relic weapons that i often find seem more powerful than most set weapons. Mastercrafted Ursine swords seems like a solid choice though

ps: and greater quen glyphs everywhere ofc!

rtwjunkie · Jun 1, 2015

So, just left for Skellige, ending Act 1. After 50 hours, I finally begin Act 2...and there are three Acts. :eek:

Content galore!

the54thvoid · Jun 1, 2015

Hmm... Might just be me but I'm sure the 353.06's are giving me microstutter on my sli set up. Might roll back and see if it's just me being picky. Also all the more reason to buy a new single super dooper powerful gfx card in the next month or so. Dual gfx be damned.

AlienIsGOD · Jun 1, 2015

Taking my time with this game, I'm on at the wraith at the well quest

WhiteNoise · Jun 2, 2015

Yeah I keep getting side tracked. It always starts off with me on my way to the next part of the main quest....then I see a tower off in the distance. Several hours later I'm done completing a chain of side quests.

That is one thing I love about this game. Side quests have killer stories to them as well. They did an amazing job here.

This! Exactly this! Amazing story on some side quests. Particularly love what they did with Dandelion side quest, at first it looks like just another simple side quest but turned out it was something bigger than that.

Enjoying our life as a Witcher, question mark by question mark

question: I've read the patch notes for the last 2x TW3 Updates. Hairworks performance increase is mentionned in both the last 2 patches. Have you guys been able to test that performance increase? Are the Frames Per Second really better (with hairworks on) compared to PRE-patch?

If you go back some amount of pages in this thread you will see that people are confirming performance increases. Other forums i visit are saying the same thing.

can you read it? its on driver download page nvidia.com driver description / changelog

Supports G-SYNC technology in windowed mode, offers both G-SYNC (V-SYNC on) and G-SYNC (V-SYNC off) options, support for Ultra-Low Motion Blur (ULMB) in the NVIDIA Control Panel, provides Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) for notebooks with discrete GeForce GPUs, and optimizations and bug fixes which can provide increased performance for Kepler-based GPUs.

that is just their excuse to make it seem okay that they weren't in the previous driver releases after 347.88. Same thing when they tried to say that removing mobile gpu overclocking was a bug.

Most games, side quests seem rushed, not fleshed out, like just an afterthought. In TW3 they feel like an integral part of the story and very complete, further enhancing the world. I too was going to skip Dandelion, as I'd had about enough of him in Witcher and Witcher 2. But I did it, and was pleasantly surprised by the long quest that unfolded in a completely new direction!

Thanks to the well-done side quests and Witcher Contracts, I've been able to savor and enjoy the almost 60 hours I've put into this game, and only 3 hours into Act 2!

ne6togadno · Jun 2, 2015
