The old Aurora engine doesn't utilize multiple cores, so a 3 GHz Pentium IV is faster in this game than my 2.6 GHz Quadcore. I've read that Act III uses a metric fuckton of NPC scripts that are very heavy on the CPU, so you have to go around at night when everyone sleeps to get acceptable framerates. Made me put down the game a week ago, although I've enjoyed the first two acts.commie said:
I haven't followed the hardware news for quite a time now, but a general feeling that I got, is that differences between graphic card's generations are not what they used to be...
So tell me please, how much of a gap is between my GF 9800GT, and this GF 260 thingie? The real difference I mean, not the benchmark-lover's one.

40/50%, which could be the difference between gaming at native res or not.

I had no big problems with the witcher 1, but I aways like to keep all my savegames. The problem is that the more you played, the save games got bigger and bigger. After sometime, it would tak about 2 to 3 minutes to open the savegames list (A problem I had with far cry 2 also). The solution was to remove the savegames from the folder.
Oh, and if I installed the hi-res texture mod, the game would crash on Chapter 4.
Other than that, It ran fine on my quad core 2.4 on max settings.

Hard to describe in literal terms. Basically if you aren't one of these people who obsesses over anti-aliasing and can live with 30-40 FPS the game will look and run fine. 260's are considered mid-tier cards now and are about two years removed from the bleeding edge. Although I suppose some people would consider them low-tier at this point.

The "expert" sites claim the 5xxx and 6xxx amd/ati cards are now the midrange ones along with the Nvidia 4xx and 5xx series. The listed cards in the specs are now considered by these "experts" to be lowend.
So while it may mean an upgrade its not as intense as other games require, although it seems to require more hardware than Crysis 2, if you have to upgrade both your cpu and video card to the recommended specs for TW2 then your pc will be able to run Crysis 2 on high settings

Does it not have an expansion mode in the OSD? if it does you might be able to play games at a res like 1080p, or 1050p. It should be able to scale down and lock it into a nice pixel perfect box in the middle of the screen rather than blowing shit the fuck out.
Have a play around in your OSD and look in nvidia drivers Display> adjust desktop size and position> use display inbuilt scaling.

AMD , nVidia and Intel push new products all the time , so developers don't care about optimizing games.Fucking conspiracy , theoretically gtx260 should be able (except dx11) max out all games that come out nowadays if developers would actually care about optimization.
The gerarphic card shud be a problem on ultrahigh.God bless PC gaming. :D

I thought that devolopers push games downgraded for xbox. Qbox, shitbox360 or whatever, that's why Crisis 1 looks better than Crisis 2.

Major Spoilers:
* Alvin is NOT the Grandmaster despite all the forewarning. He is the enigmatic baldy guy who is helping the elven terrorists. He was the one who recruited the grandmaster (who betrayed him) in the first place. He opposes the plan of the Lodge of Sorceresses' (explanation further).' After finding this out Geralt mayl let him live so that everyone is saved through migration.
* Geralt gains his memory back but only half way through due to an encounter with Ciri.
* Foltest dies conditionally. If he does then Adda assumes the throne. She immediately outlaws all witchers and orders a bounty on Geralt's head.
* There is a conspiracy of the Sorceresses' lodge to slowlyl take over the world. They are aware of the Elven prophecy's fulfillment and are slowly choosing the cream of the Human populous to save and create a new homeland down south. To this end they have begun manipulating the Kings of the continent. That's why the Assassin of the Kings (Alvin) needs to kill them to slow their plan. They are ready to let non-humans die. Of course Triss mildly opposes this. Major portion of the plot, she will try to manipulate Geralt to thwart portions of the Lodge's plans to allow saving everyone. This will be OPTIONAL.
Minor Spoilers:
* Geralt meets Lady of the Lake again. She takes the sword back giving him an actual quest to RESCUE a knight on the trail of the Chalice
* Geralt will meet Abigail again, if you let her live. She will become a Sorceress if recommended for training and can play a potentially major role late in the game.
* Declan leuvaarden's secret society will be a MAJOR part of storyline but will not affect the end. They have their secret agenda that is not revealed in the game but hinted towards.
* Finally, Vasemir will die.

Sorry, but I don't understand.. I DID put the spoiler brackets. Are they not working for you? If so I will try to correct it..

So I'm guessing my intel atom with 1 gb of ram and integrated graphics should be able to run this?
Since I dislike anti-aliasing and have my desktop at 1024x768, it should be ok.

Don't know if it was posted, but if you are afraid of constant rolling in combat then you don't have to.
In this video Gop doesn't use it at all.
