At both 1920×1080 and 2560×1440, The Witcher 3 is stressing our GPUs but the GeForce GTX 1070 does a good job separating from the pack. The new Pascal mid-range card is 37% faster than the GTX 980 and as much as 71% faster than the GTX 970. The AMD Radeon R9 Nano does well to keep up as much as it did, coming in only 22% slower at 2560×1440 at just over 50 FPS.
