Not really in to fantasy games, but The Witcher 3 is getting ridiculously good reviews.

I've been crying out for a blockbuster for the PS4 and this might just be it.

The story line (if you're into that sort of thing) is brilliant in my opinion.

It might be worth picking up copies of 1 + 2 to get a feel for it, although I'm sure CD Projekt Red said Witcher 3 would be perfect for first time players too.
 

Yeah im playing W3 and it's great, the actual storyline stuff is ace.

Couple of pictures from my game, this is PC, the wind is blowing heavy and you can see the sandstorm blowing through and another of the night time.

If you're going to play get your drivers up to date and use the Nvidia GeForce experience program to optimise the settings. Then play around.

I've managed to eek out some more graphics as a result of doing a driver update. Optimising then increasing the settings.

I'm probably going to OC my GPUs too as I'm running a 45 degrees C. Might up it to 55 C and up my fans too.

I think I might be able to go for ultra settings if I do at 60 FPS.

GeForce Experience isn't really good though.

It saves a whole lot of messing around I've just found. Just optimised now upped. OC'd with Asus GPU tweak. upped. OC'd upped until ok with my Temps.

Saved my GPU profile as 'Witcher 3'.

Maxed out now in game and temps are stable at 52 degrees C.

The benefits of proper cooling.

It saves 0 messing around as it sometimes activates unnecessary options and crap that you don't need when you optimise...

That's the case for lower-end PC's however, you seem to have a beast one so it really doesn't matter at all.

Agreed on the cooling though.

There's lots of people reporting crashing problems. I think its driver issues personally.

They rushed out new drivers on Tuesday and I think that some chipsets aren't being properly supported.

Well, it's been going on for ages with Experience. I always get frame drops of 10-30 in CSGO (from a laptop, that's a lot) for example, after an update, and it goes back to normal after I remove Experience, every single time without fail. A mate of mine tested it by installing pre-Experience drivers on a brand new PC and it actually ran games smoother and on more FPS than on the up-to-date ones.

Again though, you seem to have a great PC, so it's pointless for you to do that.
