That is my graphics card. I am not complaining but my grandparents gave me a 4k monitor so my question is what is the best resolution to play witcher 3. When I set it to 4k I get crap fps and when I set it to something like 1080p or 1440p my fps is a bit better but not amazing. I don't get that cos the card says it should be more than capable for running witcher 3. Knowing my monitor and graphics card can you suggest me some good settings.

Definitely disable NVIDIA Hairworks, you must keep that off if you wanna have decent FPS in that game.

Draw Distance and Fooliage can be lowered too, number of NPC in city should a nice option as well.
If you don't see much importance to Shadows, that can be lowered too.

And keep your game @1080p, for sure.
The RX460 isn't strong enough to play on anything higher than that.

With that monitor you would have to look forward to a GTX 1080 to use it properly, @4K

Thanks so much for the reply! Does it matter using 1080p even though that is not my native resolution. I guess I don't have much option. Will it look weird and this there a way solving that.

It may look a bit different if you were using a native 1080p monitor, but i cannot confirm as i do not own a 4k monitor. But i believe the difference won't be really noticeable.

Unfortunately, that's what you will have to deal for now. You may want to make a dual monitor setup. Plug the 4k monitor on as the second one and keep your older one as the primary monitor that way you can use both and still game at the same aspect you had before. That is, until you get a nice GPU to use that monster monitor you got there.

I said to use the 1080p because that which will put the less stress in the GPU and therefore making the FPS go higher.

Start with dropping anti-aliasing.
