A collection of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt benchmark runs from two cut-scenes and gameplay from one of the most CPU-intensive parts of the game, Novigrad City. We're running maxed out on ultra, but with Nvidia HairWorks disabled. What is the best top-tier GPU for the game?

Here we're comparing the two top-tier Radeons - the R9 290 and 290X - along with the top three GeForce cards, the GTX 970, 980 and Titan X. We noticed that the Radeon cards are prone to frame-time spikes, either on scene changes in cut-scenes (not really a problem) or during CPU-intensive areas of gameplay.

Here are the benchmark results, in the form of lowest, then average frame-rates. By the way - this is one of the biggest scalings we've seen from GTX 980 to Titan X on a modern game. The Witcher 3's GPU utilisation is epic.
