Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition 11GB Review

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt concludes the story of the witcher Geralt of Rivia, whose story to date has been covered in the previous titles.^[3] Continuing from The Witcher 2, Geralt seeks to move on with his own life, embarking on a new and personal mission while the world order itself is coming to a change.

We use the Ultra preset for general image quality, but disable the Nvidia HairWorks settings where possible. The post-processing preset is set to High. We benchmark a 107-second run through a densely-populated area of the game.

Another trio of chart-topping results displayed by the GTX 1080 Ti FE in The Witcher 3. This game average more than 60FPS at all resolutions with the GTX 1080 Ti, maximum image quality settings, and the Nvidia Hairworks graphics features disabled. In fact, high-refresh rate gamers are superbly catered for at 1440P and 1080P with average GTX 1080 Ti FE frame rates hitting 131FPS and 179FPS, respectively.

The performance increase for GTX 1080 Ti over the GTX 1080 FE is 30% at 1080P, 39% at 1440P, and 38% at 4K. Gamers with a GTX 980 Ti or R9 Fury X can expect an average performance improvement of 77% and 73%, respectively, at 4K. That's the difference between a borderline unplayable gaming experience and one that is buttery-smooth at 4K.

If you want a single card to play this game at 4K60 or 1440P 100FPS+, the GTX 1080 Ti FE offers you just that. Better yet, you don't have to cough up more than £1k for it, like you did with the Titan XP.
