All you guys upgrading from 700 series cards make me feel way more justified in moving on from my 670. It had a good run, but Witcher 3 is something I need to have my face melted during.
Also, iTunes says I've listened to The Fields of Ard Skellig (from the pre-order bonus soundtrack tracks) 75 times now

I expect a GTX880 to come out around Jan/Feb 2015.Unfortunately it looks like 20nm Maxwells wont be coming out in a while

What are you talking about? It will be out by September, maybe earlier. They just won't be 20nm, but 28nm.

I'm gunning for a 880, but a whole new upgrade could be on the cards. The i5 is a beast and I'm super happy with how my PC is performing with modern games, the 4GB 770 certainly no slouch, but I'm not deluded enough to believe that will last forever. It'll see out the year easy enough, but as more games shift towards next gen exclusivity age should start to show in the old 4 core. Ideally I'll wait until an Intel 8-core CPU hits the market too. Main thing with something like The Witcher 3 I'm worried about is stuttering and asset pop-in. On paper decently optimised open world games should benefit most from additional ram, cores, and so on to help stream in all those asset and environments without choking. PhysX will also come at a massive cost, as always, and I really want to use it.
If the upgrading situation doesn't meet my standard by the time the game is out I might look into getting a cheapo card to dedicate towards PhysX.

Nvidia will never release the next gen without 20nm being ready for massproduction.

How much are you willing to spend?
Rumours peg Haswell-E as Intel's introduction point for 8-core desktop CPUs. Coupled with Hyperthreading I imagine a generous overclock would see it last quite a long while.

I got promoted/pay rise at work recently so unless I'm fired/let go (it's possible) come the end of the year I'll probably do an entire AU$2000 overhaul, or do so when the parts I want become available. I don't need a monitor and I can reuse my case. Maybe even reuse the PSU depending on the 800 series and new CPU power requirements.
Fucking perfect. Cheers dude.
4 real 4 virtual, or 8 real?
edit: nvm, it's 8 real... nice.

Really? Is that why they released the 860M and 850M?
8 physical, hence 16 threads.
Thanks, couldn't find it in the specs initially so I figured I would ask. Hm.. I feel like processing horsepower isn't a question for me, I need to update my dated 7570 and get a new PSU.
Most topics that go on for a while tend to meander at certain points and then get back to the topic at hand.

There's very few developers who I trust to nail exactly what they promise. CD Projekt is one of them.
The graphics fidelity is impressive, though it didn't make as big of an impression on me as the game's scope. If they get this right, The Witcher 3 will be a juggernaut of the industry.

I am spending around that much on a new PC as well. You should check out the build your own PC thread and maybe you should wait around the end of June for the new Devils Canyon processors like the 4790k.

Before people throw out their 770s, you should still wait for Nvidia to dump DX10 stuff and optimize their drivers. That is like the biggest thing ever and they still haven't completed it yet.
My 770 4GB should not have too many problems I hope.

Are you saying that Klodi Monsoon looks masculine? What is wrong with you?
Damm. Nearly everyone talking about the game im this thread are PC players. I know the series started on PC but I still really hope that the game will be a huge success on PS4 and X1. Come on console gamers, what upcoming game looks better than this ? Get on the Witcher 3 hype train, there is space for everyone !

No. On GOG.com you always get a DRM free version.

And thats why I wanted you to post actual screens (even if the ones you put where false) so you could see how many people thought you are crazy. I know, opinions and all, but holy shit if you seem to like more protitute npc #57 instead of a well designed character.

The game has its own mini-launcher, which also checks for updates and warns you if they are available.How do updates and such work? I have to redownload the whole thing?

I saw this culmination of sogood.gif coming a mile away. TW3 is one of the factors in making the switch. I just hope I can run it maxed with 60fps.

If not... there's always the 8xx series.

I've not yet played a Witcher game but I might jump into the series with this on PS4. But I need to see some significant chunks of gameplay. I'm also worried what they said about it being 5x the size of Skyrim or something ridiculous like that.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Check-in if you're in the master camp:
Witcher 2 was damn amazing

You know you're half using this game as an excuse to upgrade your perfectly capable PC

that's a good advice, i will sure do. Open world Witcher is anything I've wanted since the first and this looks amazing

I really shouldn't have done this so close to the Summer Sale, even if it was just $24.70. But I'm just too excited.
It's been a long time since I've anticipated a game with such fervour.
Will legit buy, thinking physical because I want the art book.
Stop, please. My penis can only get so erect.

Well, it isn't like the game is going to be in an offer, while we still are 8 months away from release.

Nice! So tempted to break my rule and preorder it myself, but man am baulking at that price. How did you get it for $24.70?
Thanks.
Yeah, the art book seems great. I'm hoping it's released separately down the line.
Very true, but $24.70 spent is still $24.70 less to spend during the Summer Sale.

In regards to the character models, CDPR have made no bones about the fact that they were heavily limited by the technology of the engine. They made it as best they could with what they had, which also included trying to mold the built-in character models from Aurora Engine into something they could use. That's why Zoltan Chivay looks so fucked up in the first game, it's a mutated human model made to look somewhat dwarfish.
If you compare Geralt's in-game model from TW2 to the concept art from TW1, you'll find they're much closer, a lot closer than the in-game model from TW1 is. They just couldn't make him look like that using the Aurora Engine. Making REDEngine from scratch for TW2 allowed them to revisit all of the characters and actually make them look the way they were supposed to look from the beginning. All they're doing in TW3 is bumping up the resolution and fidelity of the models. This is clearly the design they wanted for these characters.
