In terms of the number of ports, this MSI graphics card features 3 HDMI. As I mentioned earlier, the HBAO+ GameWorks tech in The Witcher 3 is also an optional setting. For your viewing pleasure this evening are Blender CUDA benchmarks of the. In the end, The Witcher 3 runs just as smoothly on the Radeon R9 290X as it does on the GTX 980, if you choose not to enable HairWorks, which-and this is essential- is completely optional.

Finally, Burke says, AMD could’ve worked to get its own TressFX technology inside of The Witcher 3, much like how GTA V for PC featured proprietary shadow technology from both AMD and Nvidia.ĪMD representatives didn’t respond to a request for comment. AMD could also attempt to optimize performance at a binary level, rather than a source code level, Burke said-though that’s far more difficult for AMD than dealing with direct source code. While game developers aren’t allowed to share GameWorks source code with AMD, licensees (like CD Projekt Red) can request GameWorks code and optimize it in their games for AMD hardware. Yes, the hit is drastically more pronounced on Radeon hardware, which (unlike Nvidia’s) isn’t known for handling tessellation well-but Nvidia’s cards still get gut-punched by HairWorks.įor what it’s worth, Nvidia spokesperson Brian Burke says that Radeon hardware could’ve been optimized for HairWorks in a few different ways. Scenes with multiple wolves borderline devolved into slideshows.īasically, HairWorks creates drop-dead gorgeous hair but with a severe hit to game performance, no matter which brand of graphics card you’re using. In the scene above, frame rates instantly dropped to 29 to 30fps-an absolutely massive difference. Enabling Nvidia HairWorks technology (set to “All” rather than “Geralt only”) absolutely tanks the frame rate on the Radeon R9 290X. presented to players of a videogame such as Witcher 3 or Grand Theft Auto.

And AMD hasn’t even released Witcher 3-optimized drivers yet, unlike Nvidia, which had Game Ready drivers available on launch day. films and full motion video based games, where the player's interactions are. That performance variance between the two graphics cards is in line with what we’ve seen in most other games, as well. That’s comparable to the GTX 980, which hit 48 to 51fps in the above situation. Naturally, frame rates dipped a bit lower during action scenes, but never below the mid- to high-thirties at their worst. With HairWorks off, the AMD card hit frame rates hovering between 47 and 49fps in the scene above. Let’s start with the good news first: The Radeon R9 290X handles Witcher 3 like a champ. People, foliage, and the occasional animal abound, though I reloaded and started fresh on the rare occasion that wolves wandered in and riled up the populace.

Greatly appreciated.I settled on capturing one minute’s worth of frame rates using FRAPS in the above settlement in the opening tutorial area, loaded from a save. Thank you for the very thorough response.

so hopefully this patch improves that a lot. It's not the friendliest game to run right meow. This 1.7 patch sounds like a mini enhanced edition patch to me.

How well can you run The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on a RX Vega 8 (Ryzen iGPU) 720p, 1080p or 1440p on low, medium, high or max settings This data is noisy because framerates depend on several factors but the averages can be used as a reasonable guide. but tbh? If you haven't played The Witcher 2 or still my favorite? The Witcher 1? Then I'd recommend picking those up for cheap now and make sure you like those style of games before splurging a lot of money on The Witcher 3 just to potentially find you it's not your style of RPG.Īs much as CD Projekt Red are all "our goal is not not make an enhanced edition re-release on The Witcher 3"? It feels kind of like it needs one. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on a RX Vega 8 (Ryzen iGPU) 1. I dunno, it's up to you if you want to get The Witcher 3.

Yeah it was a bad driver bug that was fixed in the 353.06 and newer drivers.
