Okay, I'm playing the Witcher 3 and it looks fine after just loading it up and running it. I didn't tweak anything graphically and I haven't even looked at how to do so. I know that Nvidia released a W3 specific driver, and I haven't even grabbed that. I have the micro-stutter issue, so I will need to grab that fix.
However, I really don't have any type of monetary restraints, so do you think that upgrading to a 970 or 980 would be worth it? I only play crpgs, so this game is my biggest graphical test and probably will be for awhile. Titans just seem like overpriced toys at this point, so those are out.
If someone less lazy than I would look at my system specs, can I even install it in my rig?
