Ok. got this game, selected ultra high settings and gave it a go. The first cutscene where geralt is running 13 fps. I thought ok there must be something wrong i checked settings again and turned off uber sampling and the fps went up to 22.

Is anyone else having low fps in this game? I was thinking that my system is good enough to play this game maxed out but apparently not.:(

No crossfire support yet as far as I know.
 
Game lags for me at 2560x1440 even on medium :( And that is on GTX580 with latest drivers.

Just tried 1080p on medium and it sill lags :(

As posted in the official thread, running 1680x1050 all Ultra (+ Far LOD distance,Very Large Texture memory and 16xAF forced in NVCP) uber sampling disabled. Getting between 40-60 FPS in the prologue. IIRC the opening cutscene where geralts is running was around 35-40 fps.

Crossfire isn't working correctly atm so wait for new drivers.
 
I'm going to wait for an updated catalyst profile before getting into the game proper. With spec in sig I'm having to drop settings to high to get anything near acceptable performance at 2560x1600.
Also hoping the black bars in 16:10 resolutions will be fixed by then.

That's the second recent game (other being Crysis 2) where one of my gfx cards may as well be made out of wood.

Does anyone know the technical reason why crossfire optimisation appears to be in the hands of gfx card manufacturers rather than developers? Surely multi-GPU functionality should be open for developers to use their own optimisation techniques?

Runs smoothly at high on my GTX 260 1 GB. Have LOD distances set to far, AA on, V-sync, motion blur (although I might turn that off) and ubersampling turned off.

There's also an option called something like SAOO, anyone know what it does?

SSAO is basically deeper shadows. It uses the camera view to make the shadows look better basically.

Runs good for me gtx460, 30 frames or so with lod normal, textures, large. No motion blur, its a bit excessive and I hate it anyway.

Will have to see how far I can push it.
 
I've got everything maxed apart from UberSampling, 16x af forced through cp and I'm getting 40-60fps, smooth as butter really. I'm still on 270.51 drivers but I've got no issues so I'm not going to get the latest just yet.
 
May be its an ATI driver issue. im currently using 11.5 with 11.5a hotfix. anybody tried with earlier driver versions?

Ridiculous really. Im not gonna play until i get playable frame rates.
 
So far I got it so that I dont play a game untill its patched or ATI bring out drivers for it.

Im still play DA2, then Shogun2, then either portal 2 or the witcher 2... by which time there shold be patches out for witcher and new ATI drivers...

Playing games on release, you dont seem to get the full experience...
 
Mine keeps randonly crashing to the desktop is anyone else having these issues?

My spec is
i5 2500k 4.2ghz
ati 6950
8gb ram
win 7 32bit,

Any suggestions? Also got the altest ati drivers installed

Play Portal 2 first, it shouldn't take too long. Progress as much as you can in DA2 and then ditch this ****.

Shogun 2 will be in constant development if you enjoy modding therefore it may take years to get bored of.

The Witcher 2 might never get entirely fixed as it's a completely new engine and would probably require a rework if it has major flaws.
