Lots of issues with Gameworks, I've had more than a few problems myself and usually disable these affects. And when they do work; the resources they require are so not matched by the visual upgrades they provide (like Hairworks in The Witcher 3, reduced my fps from mid 70's to mid 40's and high 30's...).

What I dislike the most of HairWorks is how useless it is.

AMD did TressFX years ago for Tomb Raider years ago, and while it's true that performance took a hit when turning it on, the hair looked very good and ran equally good on both AMD and Nvidia hardware.

But no, Nvidia couldn't just go an use someone else technology, they had to build their own version and make it run worse for everybody. Pfff.

Yeah, Hairworks is probably the most useless visual plug-in/add-on I've had for some time. The Witcher 3 character models were plenty good to begin with, especially on ultra.

I'm not willing to shell out another 800$ to go SLi just to make Geralt's hairdresser happy...
