>GTX 980 will not run Witcher II at consistent 60 fps at max

CPU? RAM? Its not all about GPU.

i read it on the steam page that you also need at least 8GB of RAM

>>389569329
ubersampling should be app

>>389569329
no, that's just you using an outdated GPU and expecting newer games to run fine on it

>>389570293
TW3 is older than the 980

>60 frames
>1080

That would be impressive in 2007. We've moved on to higher resolutions and frames a long time ago.

>>389570293
GTX 980 came out AFTER TWII.

>>389570397
>>389570365
Nobody can be this retarded

>>389569329
Ubersampling is bullshit.

>>389570293

>Witcher 2
>New

Either way, the 980 should be able to run that game entirely maxed out no issue. Like >>389569709 I'm wondering what his CPU and RAM look like.

What PCI-e slot is the graphics card in? Is it an older PCI-e 2.0 slot?

That's because max settings might include having the option that makes the game run at a much higher resolution on

>>389569329
that's just nvidia making your GPU shit with updates

eventually it won't be able to run even modded games from the '90s at 60 fps

>>389569709
2x Xeon x5650 and 12gb of 1333mhz DDR3 ram

>>389570492
PCI-E 2.0

I've turned ubersampling off, btw. Frame rate still dips below 60 pretty often.

>>389569329
you're probably using SSAA, they call it ubersomething in tw2
it actually renders in 4K

>>389569329
I'm running it on a 670 at a consistent 60fps.

>>389571119
>max settings

>>389569329
Turn off ubersampling, what it does is actually render the game at 4K with additional complex algorithm to split the frame into 16 different pieces, filter each of them, reassemble and then downsample to your resolution.
It's basically terrible.

>>389571160
Fair enough most of my settings are maxed or near maxed and I'm running a texture pack, try turning off the meme setting like motion blur.

games bad anyways OP, you aren't missing out. Also try turning MSAA down to x4 or even x2

Something's bottlenecking. There's no other explanation.

Either OP is running Windows Vista with 200 anti-viruses or he's got a shit mobo/processor

>>389571512
It genuinely doesn't make sense otherwise. Something is wrong with his particular setup.

>>389571512
Probably not. Look at this:

If you're on PCI-e 2.0 then odds are you're also using a pretty outdated or well used processor as well.

GTX 980 is a PCI-e 3.0 card. You'll need that to take full advantage of it, as well as a Processor that won't bottleneck it.

>>389572014
PCI-E 2.0 won't bottleneck a 980

I don't remember what it was but disable the red thing in options

>>389572087
True but it still means his processor is likely old.

He should just turn down his AA settings and it will greatly improve his framerate

>>389569329
>Is this the "poor optimization" I read people talk about?
No because my 680 ran it with ubersampling at 60fps.

This is Nvidia's drivers fucking your shit up.

>>389569709
> Its not all about GPU.
For this game, it is. It was incredibly optimized for GPU strictly.
