How to Play Witcher 3 on Low End PC Without any Lag

The new mod change the game’s settings that are consuming most of the GPU power in order to offer a smooth gaming experience. The new mod is compatible with the latest patch and what it really do is:

You lie!

The "low" settings on this game still look pretty good unless you have it set to some asinine resolution.

AMD FX 6350
8GB RAM
Radeon 270 R9

High at 900P

constant 60FPS

This PC was 560 euros over a year ago.

Yeah, its pretty even in Low setting.

lol ... occasionally I play TW3 on old Q6600 + GTX 460 PC at 720p (on my 1440p monitor) Low settings ... very playable and rather pretty! On 1440p, its gorgeous but its a stutter fest!

However, I play mainly on my i5 + 970 PC with Hairworks and everything maxed at 1080p. Smooth and pretty gameplay. Loving TW3 and my 970.

Just attach a cucumber to your disk drive with tape and it should replace your heat sink.

I'm starting to wish i would have got the pc version, i cant read the UI text on my TV and i cant stand all the npc labels and speech bubbles. Devs need to work on HUD and make it more adaptive and dynamic. The duashock 4s touch pad can register a touch and a click, why not have the HUD only pop up when i place a finger on the touch pad and fade out seconds after i take my finger off.

[Pandamobile]

That kinda defeats the purpose of a HUD (heads-up display).

[NeonEnigma]

Not really since you can pop up the HUD at the touch of a finger. Take a look at the HUD from any recent sandbox and tell me if you actually need all that crap on your screen 100% of the time. Some aspects of HUD are obviously more important than others, that's why i said HUD needs to be more adaptive/situational (health bar only appears during combat). But different players have different preferences, i just prefer less screen clutter and think HUD is an area that devs can improve.

[Pandamobile]

I think you might be confusing the HUD with the UI. HUD is information that developers want on screen at all times (health, weapon selection, etc). User-interface is what you're describing, and I'll agree that it's definitely a major point of improvement for devs to make.

[NeonEnigma]

I know the difference b/t HUD and UI... http://i.imgur.com/88FoLcV.... Do you really need button assignments, a mini map, and a mission objective on your screen at all times? Do you need your health on screen outside of combat? Do dogs chickens and hares need labels? There are smarter ways of presenting HUD, and just because a dev thinks we need all that hand holding and guidance on screen (at all times) doesnt mean we actually do.

[Pandamobile]

I have the useless chicken labels and subtitles turned off on my version of the game, but I can't say I'd want any of the other information off screen.

you could get glasses, sounds like you might need them or just plug your console into your computer monitor...

I'm playing on high with rare stutter @ 60 frames and 30 in towns with a BUNCH of civilian pop in. GeForce GTX 760/ i7 4770. Please halp. Also gonna get a 970, will I be able to run on Ultra 60 frames? Don't care if i have to drop resolution to 720.

[reversial]

Do you have the game installed on a SSD? That may be the source of the pop ins.

[Skate-AK]

You should be able to as long as you don't have any bottenecks. I doubt you would even have to drop it under 900p.

[Ch1d0r1]

Put everything on low?

[sephiroth420]

lol they lost me at "changed the resolution to 800×600" i tried that with mkx, why play it when it looks like shit, better off upgrading your pc than doing that.

[PurpHerbison]

It probably wouldn't look that bad if you used a monitor with a native resolution of 800x600. RIP CRTS :[

[kma2k]

just how low end pc are we talking here? Ive got a i5 2400 & a gx 720 & i can barely get like 30 fps on Assassin Creed Rogue! because of my pc specs yea ive been playing it on ps4, seriously i barely got off my recliner all this 3 day weekend, i had to put in almost 35 hours into it
