That's average-mediocre optimization, actually.
No. Witcher 2 runs at around 40-50 FPS on that same rig (at the highest settings). And that game is much smaller, has no streaming to deal with, has much less objects to render and much less background systems to run.

Well on my PC, I get over 100 FPS in The Witcher 2 at all times (usually above 120 too), and the quoted FPS I can expect from TW2 is like half, or less.

Today's patch 1.04 improved performance a lot on my GTX 680, I can now get 60+ FPS (if I turn most settings to low-medium) or 30+ FPS @ Ultra (with Hairworks disabled and foliage drawing distance set to High).

I get very fluid gameplay both inside and outside with everything on ultra @ 1920 x 1200. Dunno the fps as I don't have fraps or whatever.

The game is very well optimised. Runs 40-60 FPS on my rig: GTX 570, i5-4760, 8 GB RAM, Win 7. My settings are a combination of High and Ultra with just a few options set to Low (in those cases where higher settings make no difference or very little difference), only useful post-processing on and Hairworks off.
Sorry, that's straight up bullshit or those are indoor framerates.

I forgot to mention that my resolution is 1280x1024. Sounds more credible now?

EDIT:
If not, have a look inside the spoilers. Made some screens for you, just now.

Wiedźmin 3 runs on:

- Nvidia GeForce 550 Ti, 1GB Vram, slightly OCed from 900Mhz~960Mhz
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 (2 CPUs) 2,13 Ghz~3Ghz
- 4096MB RAM 800 Mhz Kingston
- Win 7 64-bit

Pretty nice looking and smooth
What resolution do you run it at and what rame rate are you getting?

It's not my movie, I have a slightly less powerful PC - Core 2 Duo 2,8 GHZ, 3 Ghz RAM, Geforce 9500 GT and I don't mind to play W3 even in 640x480.
Hmmmmm... now I am really curious if it would even run on my old toaster. While I have the GPU power, I fear my ancient AMD64 6000 would deny me Potatoman 3 in all it's 640x480 glory.
It did run Potatoman 2 (more or less), but who knows what evil roadblocks they coded in this time.

Not worth spending 50 Shekelz though, so giev demo plz CDPR kthxbye!

Once again:
i7 - 3630QM, 2.4GHz Laptop
Intel HD4000 Graphics
4GB RAM

It runs* and Nvidia won't get a dime from me!

:keepmyjewgold:

*it runs in slow motion half the time. Sometimes it just stops and thinks for a while, but not often and when it does, it keeps going after a min. only had CTDs when I didn't enable vsynch and had hardware cursor turned on. Setting it to 800x600 (windowed because the game sucks at aspect ratios on a widescreen laptop) in the config file helped. Probably could lower it even further. but that'd probably make the text unreadable as it is already freak'n tiny.

I have a shit hot GPU.

For a laptop.

That's about three years old.

Namely, the GTX 780M, 4GB.

Also i5, 3.4GHz.

I've got textures set to Ultra, most other things to Medium or Low, most post-processing off other than AA (don't like it anyway). It runs great and looks pretty good. Might even nudge up a few more of those Low settings to Medium.

1.04 introduced some major texture/asset pop-in for me, had to rollback to 1.03.

There is no difference between high and ultra textures in texture quality. Ultra setting loads simply more to VRAM so it should give less popins. If you don't have memory though it will increase popins and will introduce stutterer.

BTW. Install game on SSD. It really does reduce stutter and makes loadings really short

An SSD for your system drive is pretty much a must have, gaming or otherwise. A 250 GB is pretty cheap now too.

Hey guys, anyone with a 970? How are your fps with max settings?

Deciding between buying a 970 or 980 once the Ti brings the prices down.

Well there's your problem right there.
Even with that shitty card it should still run decently.
it doesn't really at all, it's unplayable

Nah, he has an absolute bottom feeder of a card. It's not even GDDR3 memory.
