Nvidia GTX980 Ti Review

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Polish: Wiedźmin 3: Dziki Gon) is an action role-playing video game set in an open world environment, developed by Polish video game developer CD Projekt RED. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt concludes the story of the witcher Geralt of Rivia, the series’ protagonist, whose story to date has been covered in the previous versions. Continuing from The Witcher 2, the ones who sought to use Geralt are now gone. Geralt seeks to move on with his own life, embarking on a new and personal mission whilst the world order itself is coming to a change.

Geralt’s new mission comes in dark times as the mysterious and otherworldly army known as the Wild Hunt invades the Northern Kingdoms, leaving only blood soaked earth and fiery ruin in its wake; and it seems the Witcher is the key to stopping their cataclysmic rampage. (Wikipedia).

We select a 2560×1600 resolution with postprocessing at ‘HIGH' and graphics at ‘ULTRA', as shown above.

Unfortunately we experienced SLI and Crossfire issues with this game. Nvidia GTX Titan Z performance was poor and AMD R9 295X2 performance was terrible, with juddering, flickering textures and game glitches galore.

We managed to get some time before publication to test the Titan Z with the previous driver (352.86) and performance was significantly better, we included the results in the graph above. We have not had enough time this week to get to the root of the problems. We would assume that the newer driver (352.90) Nvidia gave us for the GTX980Ti has a problem with this game when SLi is enabled.
