Definitely. Probably much better even.

Then you should go for the PS4 version.

I wonder what the game will require to maintain 60 at avg settings at 720p?
I remember witcher 2 being ridiculously optimized to the point that it ran solidly on my old laptop which had an ATi 5xxxx line of mobile GPU's.

i5 2500k @ 4.3ghz.... Good enough?

I have a 970 and was hoping to enable some of the gameworks stuff. How demanding is that stuff? If I turn a couple features from Uber to High could I get Gameworks running smoothly on my 970?

At stock that CPU is a minimum requirement, so an OC'd variant should be OK.
Better than a PS4, not as good as current gen GPU's, is the short of it. Benchmarks should start appearing soon,I hope!

This is why I cant quit you, Nvidia.
Also, do we have any numbers for ys 670 users?

Read on the Gameworks page but still a little bit confused, is it a tool for developers? is it a extra setting option with more eyecandy?
Both. It's a set of libraries/APIs that devs can use to bring us more eye candy. In this case, hair works, HBAO and PhysX.
LOL. You couldn't sit still for an hour without dragging PS4 through the mud could you?
Uhm, yeah? Why?
So it looks like I can do Uber with Gameworks at 30fps+ safely.
This is saying it includes AA too doesn't it?
I don't care about AA much, unless I'm taking screenshots, so maybe I can push closer to 60fps. I'll crank everything and see how she does. Then I'll toss in some low level AA and see how far it goes to stay above 30.
i7 920 @ 3.4ghz
GTX 980
9GB Triple Channel
Not too worried, and happy to see something pushing these cards.
I also tend to try out downsampling with all other AA off. Sometimes that works even better. I'll test 1440p down to 1080p too.

Here I am with my i5 4690k, gtx 970 and 8 gb of ddr3. Hoping to get 60 fps at 1080p, with high settings and a few things on uber.
Anyone with a similar rig? what are your expectations?

So in this case I have a 970 how do I go about activating gameworks for Witcher 3?, is it in the Witcher graphic options settings or in the Nvidia drivers? because going by the descriptions in the OP Uber Settings doesn't mean GW is on.
It does include AA, but keep in mind that it's single-toggle post process AA, which isn't going to give you the kind of performance bump you are expecting by disabling it.

Guess my 560 won't work.

so, even if I were to cap the game at 30 fps, I wouldnt be able to get gameworks on my 970? This is very disappointing if so

It does look worse than on consoles. That said, I can do it if it means pumping up the fidelity. Though I would preferably have both framerate and fidelity obviously.
Hell, I cranked up Crysis all the way to max even though it means I played the entire game at around 25fps.Although that was distinctly easier than most games due to the MB.

Um, no?
Of course you could.
EDIT: Why do people post uninformed statements and questioning? Surely it is not hard to come to an understanding of what your hardware is or is not capable of.

GTX 680 is very slightly below the 770, which is even more below the 970. You'll still get great performance though. You'll need to turn something down a notch though to get similar framerates to a GTX 970.
It will give you around 60 FPS.
The target is to keep it above 40 FPS. It'll likely stay around 60. If you want to avoid turning settings down in brand new games to keep high framerates, you needed to buy a Titan X.
The in-game graphics settings have them. Hairworks can be switched on manually for any setting. It is on by default for Uber and you can choose to switch it off. HBAO+ requires you to set Ambient Occlusion to "Quality" in your control panel (or you could use HBAO in-game setting for AO). I'm not sure if the in-game HBAO is the same as the Nvidia HBAO+, so either Andy can confirm or we can find out at launch. PhysX comes by default and you can't really change it.

That's cool. I always keep my expectations low, but games tend to do much better when I actually run them. The 920 has been ridiculous, I have the RAM, and my 980.
I'll play around with the game's AA, some forced AA, and downsampling to find what I want to play at
.I just want to avoid screen tearing.

Looks like this will be the first game I get that will eat my 560ti alive. It's the 448 cores variant which has great overclocking ability, but even so I think 30fps at medium-low might barely be within reach.
For those who are planning to play at 30fps remember to set vsync to "1/2 refresh rate," cap fps to 30, AND use RivaTuner to lock fps to 30. This is the only way I get consistent, smooth frame timing at 30fps.

It looked horrible until I added RivaTuner into the mix. It makes it look identical to consoles' 30fps.

You happen to unfortunately be the post I quoted, but yes, it is somewhat distressing that you bought something very expensive without knowing how well it works or not.
670 here, i guess i'm getting it for PS4.
Kinda like this. Surely people actually know what a 670 is...
I have a i7 2600k @ 4.2, that should do the job, at least i hope it does

Yes, for something that isn't released with requirements released today. How uninformed of him.

This entire thread is an OP about how the 970 (and other similar cards) runs. Yes, not reading the OP and asking a question is quite uninformed. Or even taking the 5 seconds to perhaps calculate in the brain that a 970 is how much worse than a 980?
But... But was your SYSTEM born ready?!
'In-game HBAO' is NVIDIA HBAO+. It was merely a typo in the menu, and it has been fixed now.

Did you even pay attention to the rest of the components in that chart? A 970 doesn't guarantee that when the CPU in that build is $1000 alone.
Borderless window mode + external program to cap FPS at 30 to play on my TV.
I've had no problems with any game that allows me to do that, and doesn't feel or look any worse than a console at 30fps to me.

The CPU doesn't really come into play in this game according the the Nvidia Rep. any i5-i7 should be fine.

Em. Not manage 30 fps (AKA what he asked about)? (even ignoring that Andy says in this thread that the game isn't CPU intensive)
I imagine even a 8350 will get 30fps regardless of ingame settings.
Decent, mostly yes, especially if you have the 3 GB model. For example I can run GTA V with high settings at 1080p (FXAA) 60 FPS. But I have the 2 GB (which is actually 1.5 + 512 MB, just like the 970 4 GB is 3.5 GB + 512 MB) so I have serious issues with textures. For example in GTA V high textures means some issues loading the city (some stuff dissapearing sometimes) albeit it's rare. High texture quality in Dying Light means some stuttering, and so on.
