It’s intended as a selling point to get people to swap cards for a better experience after all. It’s been designed to run best on nVidia cards and not AMD, to the point of stifling AMD’s performance. I would normally agree 100%, but we are taking about ‘nvidia hairworks’.

The post-processing effects were left on high for all three quality tests. The medium setting disables NVIDIA’s HairWorks, high only applies it to Geralt and ultra uses HairWorks on everything with hair. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was tested at three resolutions: 1920×1080, 2560×14×2160 using medium, high and ultra quality presets. The test ends when the Griffin flies away with the villager’s horse. Using FRAPS we recorded 120 seconds of gameplay starting from the first time Geralt mounts Roach (his trusty steed) and rides toward a Griffin attacking a villager. Our test rig was outfitted with an Intel Core i7-5960X to remove CPU bottlenecks that could influence high-end GPU scores. Using the latest AMD and NVIDIA drivers, we tested nineteen DirectX 11 graphics cards covering most price ranges. We are expecting stunning visuals as CDPR recommends an Intel Core i7 and Radeon R9 290. Radeon users are encouraged to disable NVIDIA HairWorks if the performance is below expectations.” - CD Projekt Red spokesperson Marcin Momot

“Many of you have asked us if AMD Radeon GPUs would be able to run NVIDIA’s HairWorks technology - the answer is yes! However, unsatisfactory performance may be experienced as the code of this feature cannot be optimised for AMD products. It will be interesting to see how Kepler-based GPUs compare to Maxwell parts in The Witcher 3. Project CARS was a perfect example as the $US200 Maxwell-based GTX 960 was found to be uncharacteristically fast, matching the two-year-old, $US1000 GTX Titan. Those using Kepler-based GeForce 700 series GPUs and older have started to notice poor performance in new GameWorks titles. With the NVIDIA-influenced Radeon performance issues in Project CARS, it seems the gaming community has had enough and it’s not just AMD users crying out over NVIDIA’s underhanded tactics.

But unlike the latter, NVIDIA won’t share its HairWorks code, so AMD can’t optimise its drivers for the technology.

Quick to react, CDPR has already released a new patch in hopes of addressing some of these, improving graphics and graphical settings in the PC.Īdding to the squabble, The Witcher 3 includes Nvidia’s HairWorks technology, which is essentially NVIDIA’s version of TressFX.

To optimise Wild Hunt for consoles, it CDPR slightly downgraded some of the visuals that were previously expected to be in the PC build. That changed with the arrival of the Xbox One and Playstation 4. In 2013, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) teased a world that was bound to bring PC gaming graphics to a new level. Less than a week in however there’s some controversy in the PC world involving the game’s reveal versus launch graphics.

Selling nearly two million copies in its first year, the game was a great success for CD Projekt Red so it came as no surprise when a follow-up was announced.Īfter much anticipation and a few delays, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launched this week to a similar degree of critical acclaim, with praises in the order of “one of the best role-playing games ever crafted” (GameSpot), “a game that often feels like a stunningly confident, competent shot across the bow of the open world genre” (Polygon), and “ The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is shaping up to be one of the best RPGs of the year” (PCMag). Around this time four years ago The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings impressed critics with its opulent and demanding PC graphics, rich environments and storytelling, along with innovative combat mechanics.
