Oh yeah! 120fps in most. Easy!

I've found that Gameworks effects are terrible taxing in the system, if I activate them all and set everything to max in Far Cry 4, I get sub 50's fps, very stable but still. In The Witcher 3, Hairworks alone plunged my fps into the low 50's from the high 70's on ultra.

That's because Hairworks uses a 32x tessellation mode that brings any card down its knees.

Funnily enough, AMD had an option in their drivers that allowed you to adjust the max level of tessellation while Nvidia didn't had one, so AMD users ended up having a better experience with the game .

 

The Achilles heel of my PC is my old HD 5850 1GB videocard. Hopefully that will change once AMD and Nvidia launch their new cards (so probably end of this year or early 2017).
