I have Witcher 3 maxed out and I doesn't look good, I'm playing 1080p on a dell ultrasharp monitor. The trees look flat and there are shiny lines around objects and it just doesn't feel smooth. Is this just the game or is something wrong?
Due to the noise my gtx 970 g1 gaming makes and now the Vram issue I am planing on returning it.
My question is, will my i5 4690k bottleneck the r9 380x or r9 390x?
