Boo! Don't tell me that! Issues with SLi scaling are something that will be a headache for me with my setup.
Since the last nVidia driver update the performance has been improved a fair bit on non-Maxwell cards and I believe there is an SLI profile available for the game. The game itself also seems pretty good on memory utilisation hence seems to work well on 2GB VRAM cards (which is impressive given the typically high-fidelity appearance of assets in the game). I wouldn't expect a 1080p and solid 60fps experience from a single 680 but a dual 680 setup might do the trick, although expect to knock a few settings down from Ultra to medium/high and disable nVidia Hairworks.
^ Exactly this. It's made the game a whole lot easier even if some of the fights can take a while. Still absolutely loving the game though. It's gone straight into my top ten games of all time. :tonguewink:
Have you left White Orchard? The game starts to get great once you meet the Baron and then the Triss stuff in Novigrad.
Yeah, I left, got chased on my horse in a cutscene and met the Emperor. Haven't played it since. It's the first Witcher game I've played, so I'm aware there'll be a period of time before I get used to it. I need to give it another shot.
and set against a song performed by an in-game character, Priscilla. Prepare to be amazed! LOL! Or not.
Cracking game. All missions (main and sides) completed along with all Witcher Contracts. All '?' locations completed, too. I'm going to play through it again. I also found the end a bit easy as I had such a high-powered character by the time I got to the end. Only the Level 48 Arch Griffin gave me grief and even that wasn't too bad if you were patient and played defensively.
Just a heads-up. Patch v1.07 was recently released
So how do you level up once the main story is finished? I'm getting like 10 exp for doing a side quest and about 100 exp for a contract.
There's no quick and easy way mate. Once the main story is done then the big exp quests are exhausted. Performing side quests that are several levels below your current exp level will also result in very little exp rewards. When I played through the game I actually pursued all the side quests, contracts, etc. first before following through with the main story. I only advanced the main story when absolutely necessary to open new areas and so forth. I also took on quests that were several exp levels above my character's level and tended to use runes / stones and trophy items that offered mild % exp increases. By the time I completed the game I was Level 36. Now that I've downloaded the DLC and completed the quests the only way I can increase my exp is through fighting some of the tougher creatures in the world (such as the Level 48 Arch Griffin, and so forth). I also spent hours just exploring the map; making a point of following unmarked paths on the map along with unmarked dwellings. Sometimes these threw up additional quests. It also appears that monster nests regenerate and are good for a few exp points when you revisit them and destroy them (maybe 20 points or so). I'm not sure if all nests regenerate though as I've not tried many.
You can now start a new game whilst carrying over your skills, experience and equipment from a completed game. Improved loot and tougher enemies ahoy... whilst 'resetting' the quests so you can play through again. Coolio.
