Maxing out the Witcher

[walter.wizard]

My rig is Ryzen 5 1600 + 16 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz RAM + GTX 1060 6GB. My goal is to make the Witcher 3 run at a stable 60 fps on Ultra (with the hairworks off) at 1440p. Can that be achieved by overclocking the CPU, or is the GPU going to be a bottleneck, anyway?

60FPS 1440p Ultra is going to be a little much for a 6GB 1060 IMO.

Looking around, most people are reporting similar settings for Witcher3 1440p, as this YT video covers off.

Ie. Combination of Medium/High/Ultra.

Overclocking CPU or GPU (or both) isn't going to take you to 60FPS Ultra, unfortunately.

Thought so. Thanks for the answer.

Im actually using a 7700k and 1060 6gb at 1440p and have done multiple playthroughs of witcher 3. Ultra is not going to happen. I have hair works off, shadows on high, foliage distance on high, SSAO not HBAO, post processing like vignetting motion blur and depth of field chromatic aberration were also off mostly because I don't like what they do. Everything else on ultra I believe. I could get at least 60fps in most areas, it would dip a bit in large areas with a lot of NPCs around say novigrad.

I would call it a give up. definitly not something archivable on that PC.
