Turns out I can play nicely with everything on Ultra, AA Off, foliage distance on low and most of the post-processing bullshit turned off (except Bloom as it actually makes things beautiful)
This thing is pretty neat if you want to optimize and are not sure what some options do or if they affect performance. http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-graphics-performance-and-tweaking-guide

What I have learned about post-processing is that light shafts is very nice and nearly free, though there is a spotty texture in there that made me think that my screen was dirty. Bloom is pretty cool and nearly free. Chromic Abberation is fancy language for having colours not line up correctly and thus creating blur and distortion, no idea why anyone would want that. Vignette are just darkened screen corners which are free and I am very surprised to find that I actually like the effect. All in all this game is really well optimized. On my dodgy 3,5 years old 400 euro PC I actually have a reasonably pretty game.  With my settings though there do seem to be very pronounced lines, as if I have the sharpening effect turned on, but I don't and I don't really understand what else is causing it.

I followed this guide which gives about the same advice: http://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/1952-complete-witcher-3-graphics-optimization-guide-and-performance

I forgot mentioning light shafts, I have that on too.

any else on AMD? whats your performance like? for me game runs like absolute arse, unsure how much of it is my pc's age or just shoddy optimisation.

But seems to me that computer game system requirements are going up way more than the graphics improvements warrant.

R9 270 here, smooth as butter on high, constant 60fps...

EDIT: also yeah, hairworks seems to be catered towards Nvidia, turning it off gives nice boost.

Don't even get me started on the fucking fall damage in this game, holy christ. I've jumped on a ledge and have died, I've dropped 4-5 feet MAX and lost 3 quarters of my health, other times I've fallen from 10+ feet and have taken nothing it's so fucking inconsistent it's unbelievable.
You can press jump button before landing to do a roll lol.

You want hairworks on with way less performance impact on AMD cards?

Create in the CCC a profile for the witcher3.exe, go down to Tesselation, set it to Overwrite ingame settings, put it on 8x and save.
Now you go to /The Witcher 3\bin\config\base\ and edit the rendering.ini ---> HairWorksAALevel=4
Save the file.

Start Witcher 3, set Hairworks to "All" and enjoy.

It doesn't look as fancy as normally, a bit more rough, but it still does all the movement stuff and works on monsters too :)
I like it.

Edit: Also, found this pearl at the Nexus...

Wait, does the GC config module allow me to use as much RAM and VRAM as I want?

This is how my hairworks looks now. Didn't lower any other setting, except doing above steps, still keeping my fixed 30fps vsync with nearly everything ultra and on...

...on a R9 270x! :D

Hairworks is definitely worth it. Zoltan's beard is so dreamy.

So what's your progress, lads? I am in Novigrad, just finished the "Play's the thing." quest.

Care to show off your skill tree?  :lol:

anyone tried flood of anger yet? looks super OP in combo with other adren stuff. I was thinking of respeccing from combat to signs spec for fun, but flood of anger surely makes points in signs obselete

@golem game won't let me print screen.

I'm running cat school with quick attacks perks which means 25% chance to crit and crit damage is like 175% higher. seems like pretty easy/obvious thing that I'm guessing most people do since most armour I found is a light armour, and quick attacks are much easier to land.

with 3/3 exploding quen, which seems a bit pointless never really noticed knockback or damage doing much, maybe because sign intensity is too low. infact don't really see how "sign intensity" benefits an unupgraded quen at all because on hard difficulties you're rarely going to be taking less than what 7% hp to not trigger shield.

Any other way to obtain the potion other than buying it from the witch?
