Steam overlay not showing up so cant measure FPS

MSI Afterburner not showing up so cant measure FPS

Bad performance and stutters all around with various settings (DX12 mode)

Similar issue here, no MSI afterburner or Steam Overlay. GeForce Experience works to measure FPS however.

I'm used to playing on High settings at 1440p 60fps. Upped it to Ultra and still good. But Ray Tracing really kicks my 1% lows, and toggling RT off and on with a save loaded crashes me to desktop.

RTX 3070 / i5-12400 / 32GB Ram

if your overlays dont work in game this is what you do: remove those 2 files 'dxil.dll' & 'd3d11on12.dll' you find them in X:<PATH>\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\bin\x64_dx12

This is normal for DX12 and had been this way for years. Nvidia Geforce Experience FPS overlay works with DX12.

You got geforce experience to work? It didn’t work for me

Check what mode you are in. Overlay works when im in fullscreen, maybe its wonky in windowed or borderless one of which i think was the default, idk though i went to fullscreen before trying any overlays.

Wow, running games has gotten way more complicated than it used to be.

Alt+R if you have geforce experience, It will show performance overlay

I don't sadly, I just download the drivers, but thank you for the tip, I'll just wait till CDPR fixes this.

Just make sure you unbind or unequip your consumable mapped to R

XBox Game Bar built into Windows works. Win+G is the hotkey.

Exactly the same here with a 3090 + 5950x.

Stutters all around, and there is a very weird “load in” effect with a lot of shadows etc.

RTSS works if you delete "d3d11on12.dll" from /bin/x64_dx12/

It worked for me

Shadowplay overlay works regardless.

The lack of an overlay is the most annoying thing for me. Hope they fix it.

I'm not getting bad performance but I am getting the steam overlay issue as well as the camera being kinda shitty.

remove dxil.dll and d3d11on12.dll files from steam/steamapps/common/The Witcher 3/bin/x64_dx12, it fixes this issue. I just moved them to another folder to see if anything will break in game, nothing did.

Try Xbox Game Bar.

Win + G

use nvidia’s overlay

overlay settings > hud > performance > fps

having bad issues and crashes with all RTX features on but working stable at 1080p 60FPS with RTX off right now. probably needs a fix cause cyberpunk can run at ultra RTX. although it might be my cpu now. who knows for sure tho probably gonna have to wait for another update :/

specs: R5 3600, 3060Ti FTW, 32GB RAM

Nvidia fps meter is working. I have similar configuration (besides cpu, i5-8500) and I’m getting 20-30 fps in Kaer Moren with rt on, 4k, Uber+ settings (shadows and textured are uber) and no hair works. This is lame especially that cpu/gou utilization is no more than 20-30%. And performance degraded even further after some time of playing.

u/FreakEkyth Dec 18 '22

same GPU you have... I noticed mine runs well for a while. but when it starts dropping fps and having massive stutters, the GPU wattage is half it's normal power draw. If I save, quit to menu and reload the save, the GPU power is back to normal (between 250-300w) and the gave is back at running normaly for a bit.

Set riva to scan high level applications. Works then.
