The Witcher 3 - Discussion Thread

Dollar for dollar, a RAM clock or capacity upgrade has the lowest impact on game performance, unless of course you are upgrading from DDR2 500 MHz to DDR4 2666 MHz or something like that. In general it is mostly GPU, CPU, HDD transfer speed and RAM loosely in that order. I doubt any modern games will get a huge FPS boost by upgrading the RAM from 1600 to 2000 MHz.

On @ashrr problem, this sounds very similar to a memory leak.

Trying updating the game and the drivers, usually leaks are fixed by updates.
 
It also suggests upgrading to a faster RAM. Like to a 2133Mhz,even i am thinking of it. Currently running a 2600k @ 4.6Ghz and 1333 Mhz RAM running @ 1646 Mhz . I am planning of getting a 2133 Mhz.
thats right. I was thinking on the same direction. But I have to change my mobo if I have to pickup a faster RAM kit. If thats the thing, I would rather get a new processor too and be done with the old kit :)

Both game and drivers are automatically kept up to date. Odd as it may seem, setting the frame rate limiter to unlimited and then turning Vsync on seems to have fixed the issue for me... for now. I had set the limit to 60 earlier.

Running around in Novigrad with mostly stable 60 fps.
 
Blood and Wine is live! And boy does it look good!!

I need to know when is the best time to start the DLCs (recommended levels are 32 and 34). I'm playing the GOTY edition on PC using the PS4 controller. I have just completed 'The battle of Kaer Morhan' and reached level 30. Should I wait till I finish the main quest? I guess there's one more act pending (?).

You can start in between the main quest and interestingly it opens up new dialogue options on the dlc s

I read that blood and wine should be played last. So I can start hearts of stone now? Should I just stop the main quest till I complete hearts?[DOUBLEPOST=1522732423][/DOUBLEPOST]
After you complete the main game.
So if I complete the main quest first and say reach level 40, would I become overpowered for the DLCs?

Not necessary...
That's where the replay value of the game comes in..
As you have finished Kaer morhan, the options are less now (As the story has progressed nearing the end).

Spoiler, an interesting dialogue with the lady at auction house in Hearts of stone.
