Can't wait for 4K über settings with Gameworks. Although, I wish there was a settings, like in Witcher 2 at launch, that made PCs cry when enable.

 

[M0G]

The day is almost upon us Now I get to try justify blowing the money I didn't have on two 980s, that I "so desperately needed" for this and GTA V. Fingers crossed they're ready for ubersampling/dsr and whatever it takes to get the most out of this.

It's still there. You just need to change it directly in the ini file (assuming they haven't hard locked it in the code)

 

[quesalupa]

I'm guessing my i3-4160 won't run this?

Wasn't ubersampling just a fancy way of saying a shit ton of AA lol? All games with all kinds of setups will cry if you apply tons of AA, especially at higher res when it isn't as much needed.

 

[-tetsuo-]

I can't wait to be disappointed by my 780ti.

 

[EatChildren]

Ubersampling was just supersampling and you could enable that with DSR.

 

[Renekton]

Why get the PS4 version if you can't hit 60fps? You could just run the PC version at higher settings than what the PS4 offers and lock it to 30fps...

Depends if the frame-pacing (with afterburner / driver force) is even or not. If it's janksville, there is a decision point.

 

[Windom Earle]

I don't care about this game, but I want to play it for the GPU porn. Damnit!

 

[knitoe]

Currently, DSR doesn't work on my setup, SLI + 4K + GSync.

 

[viveks86]

The PC load times are blowing my mind. It's almost 6-10x faster than PS4!

 

[Renekton]

The PC load times are blowing my mind. It's almost 6-10x faster than PS4!

On SSD or 7200RPM?

 

[Gaz_RB]

I'm guessing my i3-4160 won't run this?

I think you might--they've said its not super CPU intensive.

 

[Fahrenheit]

Hoping to run at ultra with no fur effects at 1080p on my 290x

Wounder if AMD will have a driver ready at launch.

 

[KCroxtonJr]

There are pretty bad frame pacing issues on the console versions so...lol. No clue if that will be fixed at launch or not though.

Also there is FPS lock directly in game, no need for external programs.

 

[Darkman M]

2600k @ 4.3
970 GTX

lets go!

 

[Exentryk]

Does loading the game in RAM (RAM disk?) work better even if you have the game installed on SSD?

 

[Hikami]

MINIMUM:
Processor: Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz / AMD CPU Phenom II X4 940

well, damn.
Let's see how my i3 holds up. Time to finally upgrade it if it doesn't.

 

[Renekton]

Digital Foundry, if you are somehow reading this, please test with your console-beater i3/750Ti

Thanks, I didn't know that.

I too would love to safely lock 30fps to TV without fiddling with afterburner/radeonpro

 

[viveks86]

On SSD or 7200RPM?

Don't know the streamer's config other then GPU (780SLI). Assuming SSD since he is a professional streamer

 

[knitoe]

Not surprising. Console are optimized for slow ass stock HDD. Adding a faster one doesn't make a big difference. For PS4, I went from stock 500GB > 1TB 7200RPM > 512GB SSD.

 

[flux1]

I have a Phenom II X4 3.4ghz and 750ti. Hoping it will run at XB1 quality at 1080p.

 

[Lum1n3s]

Pretty sure I'll be fine playing this, I have a Gigabyte GHZ 780 TI and a OC 4770K. I'm also sure everyone else will be fine playing the game with a decent setup.

 

[M0G]

Ubersampling was just supersampling and you could enable that with DSR.

I'm hoping the method somehow works better than straight up downsampling though as I still don't find amazing results while using DSR or custom resolutions. I should imagine combining the two would just be ridiculous resource-wise.

 

[quesalupa]

I think you might--they've said its not super CPU intensive.

Oh, sweet! Yeah I saw in comparison that it's pretty comparable with the 2500k, with the 2500k winning only by a little, but I wasn't sure if the cores would play into the performance.

 

[scitek]

Where does GOG Galaxy install this to by default?

 

[Black_Stride]

Okay so will my 2500k, 8gb, 560ti actually run this? Don't mind low settings as they tend to look reasonable these days.

Or should I wait to buy it on PS4 (when I get one)?

Ill give ya an idea of what to expect.
On GTX5xx i dont expect 60fps to be an option at all....lowest settings you could probably lock 30, maybe play around with some of the less GPU intensive options and get the game atleast looking nice.

Pretty much all my buddies are getting this game, so ill see what how PS4 vs XBO vs Old PC matchup.

If a GTX5xx can reach PS4 fidelity at a locked 30,Ill be more than happy.

 

[Gaz_RB]

So far I've been pretty disappointed with my 760>>960 upgrade (if I can even call it an upgrade). It was an impulse buy and I should have done more research--if I had I would have gone with the 970 and actually gotten a decent power increase. Either way I hope it handles the Witcher 3 without any hiccups. After playing the stuttery/modded mess that is Skyrim all week, it will definitely be a step up.

 

[BigTnaples]

So excited. Upgraded from a 6950 Dirt Edition to SLI 970 FTW's for this game.


Combined with my i7 3770k, 16gb ram, and SSD, I am ready for this game.


Can't wait to see what kind of performance I cam squeeze out of it.

 

[Mifec]

C drive: gog folder I think

 

[Smokey]

Present

Will be posting Titan X SLI performance results tomorrow

My brand new gaming PC with a GTX 980 is ready. Will specific drivers come out for this in Nvidia's software like it did for GTA?

Yes, tomorrow.

 

[Anon67]

GTX 660 here with some kind of i7 processor. Will report results once the time comes.

I reverted back to an older NVIDIA driver and I think I've found an optimal setup for 1080p30FPS for the GTX 660. I need to do some tests in certain areas, but from what I can tell, FPS drops only whenever I go near fire.

It's a mix of high+ultra settings + low foliage distance. I'll describe it later. "Full" report will arrive soon.

 

[Spazznid]

Let's see how the windows 10 driver holds up!

 

[Sword Of Doom]

You have an AMD card which are notorious for performing horribly in games that support Nvidia Gameworks. There is no point in asking when we have no idea. Yes you will be able to play the game with that setup, how well we don't know.

Maybe someone has gotten an early copy and played it with an AMD card. Some people were streaming it today. The poster was just asking. After all this is the performance thread and not everyone has been following this game and it's performance as closely as others have

 

[Don Lapre]

How poorly is my 780ti going to run this at 3440x1440... why cant i order a 980ti yet

 

[Battle_Scarred Shogun]

GTX 660 here with some kind of i7 processor. Will report results once the time comes.

nice i have a 660 with an I5 3570k. im hopeing i can mess around and get 60fps. thats all i really want.

 

[Hristi]

What time will Nvidia release their game ready drivers?

 

[Beerman462]

I have an i5 2400/7870XT(Tahiti LE) OC. I was able to run GTA5 at high + very high textures and still maintain close to 60fps. My goal with TW3 is Very High @30fps and have no doubt I will meet it.

 

[Nickerbocker98]

God help you 780 Ti if you dare under perform.

Same thoughts here. I hope I can run it at at least 1080p/60fps (safe to say the Gamworks bells and whistles are no-go?).

 

[realcZk]

Let's see how the windows 10 driver holds up!

I'll be trying it out on my Windows 10 partition as well. Since W10 drivers just hit WQHL cert a couple days ago I expect to see a gameready for TW3 tomorrow with the rest of 'em.

 

[ekim]

Gtx 970 and i7 4790k. I hope I can run it at uber settings at 1080p and gameworks. 30 fps are enough

 

[CHC]

I don't want this to be the end of the line for my 780... I'm poor right now!

 

[Jonny Rizzo]

I will be testing it on my i5 2500k/GTX 570/8GB Ram. I have a GTX 960 on its way but its not being delivered till the end of the week.

I am anticipating it will run, but I am wondering how well the GTX 570 will be able to handle everything.

 

[Smokey]

I don't want this to be the end of the line for my 780... I'm poor right now!

Good thing you'll be fine then.

Yeah I'll be running at 1080p, so honestly if I can have a locked 30fps on on low settings with maybe textures medium I'll be happy enough. Might not look quite as good as the PS4 version but should still be alright.

 

[Spazznid]

I'll be trying it out on my Windows 10 partition as well. Since W10 drivers just hit WQHL cert a couple days ago I expect to see a gameready for TW3 tomorrow with the rest of 'em.

Maybe, or perhaps the witcher changes are already in ours.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

How poorly is my 780ti going to run this at 3440x1440... why cant i order a 980ti yet

I am going to try the same...my cpu is only i7 920 2.6ghz

This will be fun

 

[b0uncyfr0]

So AMD might release a driver for W3!

Fingers crossed : https://twitter.com/amd_roy/status/599565321167474689

 

[The Dear Leader]

I have almost the same setup, look forward to seeing your results!

 

[BlackNinja]

I have a 980.. and don't want to upgrade to a Titan X. But I'm also trying to run 4k @ 30fps with reasonable settings. I will customize, but I need the 4k gaming first and foremost.
