The timing of the frames looks odd. You need to be at your refresh rate or at someting that goes into it. At 60 hz and 60 fps, every refresh you have a new frame. At 60 hz and 30 fps, every second refresh you have a new frame. At 45 it'll bounce between and a new frame every 1, then 2, then 1, then 2, repeating. It creates a judder effect that's pretty distracting.

This is over stating it, IMHO.

If the game is trippled buffer and there isn't wild frame rate swings, yes you will get some judder, 90% of which will not be noticeable, the other 10% you might or might not notice. It won't eb as smooth as solid 60 FPS, for sure, but give a try now. Run a game that's trippled buffered and limit the frame rate using in-game or some other limiter to say 40.

I doubt you would call that unplayable. Hell I'll take 40 FPS with some slight judder here and there than a solid 30 FPS any day of the week. 30 FPS is just too staccato.

Not sure if to be or not to be nervous about 760 handling this game. Maybe I could OC it tad, but would that even matter?

Edit: I'm fine with 30 lock, I just would be so happy to get some decent settings into play :D

Everyone with their 2500K OC'd to 4+ghz being worried.

Sheesh, I'm rocking my i7 920 @ 3.8. I figure if I can manage almost 70+fps on AC: Unity at mostly maxed settings with a 970 and my cpu (FXAA instead of TXAA, and not using the gameworks soft shadows) I shouldn't worry too much about Witcher 3 cpu wise.

Like a few others I have a 760gtx. I'm going to test the game out but I'm expecting to need an upgrade to get decent 60fps settings.

With these rumors of a 980ti what should one do??? :/

My only worry is my measly 8gb of ram...but I still think everything should be fine though. I really don't see this game needing more than that.

GTX780 and 2500k. I do like them FPS, so I'm probably just gonna put it on high and then set it and forget it.

Who am I kidding I'm going to fuck with the settings endlessly for the first 60 hours.

TXAA. MSAA is not supported by the game yet.

Edit: "Temporal AA". Not TXAA

Didnt' the .ini mention MSAA samples in adition to temporal AA (TXAA)?

Dictator93 said:
Now I am super confused. hah
Do the über settings have übersampling on by default?
Click to expand...

The witcher 3 has a completely custom Temporal AA solution. At least that is what they advertise for the console versions. Given how little aliasing I've seen on streams, I'd say it works pretty well (ofc it still is a compressed stream so I guess it is wait and see).

Has it ever been 100% confirmed that the renderer is forward+?

I have a 660ti and I absolutely refuse to change it until the next generations of Nvidia cards (big maxwell) arrives. I also refuse to spend a shitload of money to have a Titan X.

rofl at everyone worrying about their 760s and up running this game

Im going to try with a 460
Click to expand...

When you have 5 years old rig with i5 and 760 it makes you nervous as hell when your most waited game is just around the corner :D That said respect to you for giving it a try with 460 o7

30fps At around high.

Getting 60 at max will take quite a bit more power.

Give me 30FPS with rough High settings with my GPU and I'm fucking happy :D

Really glad that I upgraded my system last year. I don't plan on picking up the game just yet, but that bodes well.

I as well. Although, I have absolutely no idea what's worth it when it comes to video cards. I don't even try to keep up with that because they just keep coming endlessly.

Is 660 ti even considered decent anymore?

I'm on 770 and TV. Will wait for some impressions. Is there any multiplayer in the game? Don't know if I should go with PC or PS4.

It's a decent margin above the minimum GTX660 and PS4. Should be fine.

This has me stoked. I only have a 1080p monitor and it's a Gsync monitor so no DSR, but it makes me happy to think that there's a good chance I won't have to worry about framerate.
Just hope my 2500K doesn't cause any problems...

I haven't been able to get it to work for me either, but I'm using Palemoon.

I think I'll be in good shape at 1080p according to that chart. I have a 5820K @4.3GHz and SLI GTX 970s so I hope that will translate to 60 fps with Gameworks at 1080p.

Click to expand...

CPUs haven't really made any meaningful strides in terms of gaming since the 2500k, it's still a great processor and in most games won't bottleneck any graphics card.

Someone from Nvidia also said that Witcher 3 isn't overly CPU-reliant either.

I think the majority of us are more concerned with CPU requirements that GPU. I think a lot of us are still using Sandybridge since, up to now anyway, there hasn't been any big reason to upgrade.

I'd be happy with High settings along with HBAO+ at a fairly stable 60 with my i5-2500 (non k) and 970.

Ok, GAF, here's my dilema:

PS4 or laptop (with good cooling system) with:

GTX960M with 4GB GDDR5 ram (overclocked)
Intel Core i7-4720HQ (up to 3.60 GHz)
16GB DDR3 ram
250GB SSD

I think PS4 is better suited system for this game than my curent PC. But maybe not?

W2 runs on 1080p ultra (without any AA and uber sampling disabled) between 45 and 60FPS.

Chrome has Java completely disabled anymore. You need to actually manually enable Java support in most recent versions.

Chrome://flags/#enable-npapi Go here, Enable NPAPI and then click relaunch now. Should fix it and Java will work.
