Performs very well with High/Ultra settings at 1440p with; 2500K @ 4.5 970gtx.

Imported a save from W2 - do you loose all of your gear?

Can I ask what settings you are running at?

I'm running pretty much the same set up. Looking forward to finishing work and trying it out.

Only AMD 3xx series card that will beat what is around just now is the R9 390x. The rest are just rebrands. The R9 390x will likely cost somewhere in the region of £600, with perhaps the GTX 980 ti somewhere just above that.

Unless you are looking to spend those kinds of bucks on a card, then no point in waiting.....

Not really - about £300ish. Even if the new cards aren't much of an improvement, I'm thinking the prices of current cards may drop a bit

Runs like a dream for me, and looks fantastic.

I have the same spec dude, it runs amazingly

Ive only tried 1080p atm and holds a solid 60fps with most zettings on ultra and 2 or 3 on high. No hair effects though not tried that.

I can tell you specifics when im home

I am using controller, character movement is ridiculously sensitive, not tried with mouse yet.

Hardware acceleration is probably on, see my response at the top of this page.

Thanks, appreciate that

30 fps at 1440p with a 3770K and sli 980's Nvidia optimised settings mostly Ultra.

Has anyone got a hi res file of the full map?

Andi.

i5 2500k and 670 2gb here
On high with hair turned off getting 45fps+ in all areas I've been too.
Played a couple of hours and as I thought, bored after awhile, the combat is still clunky feeling, delayed reactions. Its better than witcher 2 was but its still not good enough for decent combat.
Graphics are nice, i'll say that.
Glad I didn't buy it, boring to me just like the other 2.

Can't moan at you for not liking a game, but "delayed reactions" is a no. That is a setting or something your end I am afraid. Setting is probs to turn on hardware cursor in graphics options.

The Full colour map with the physical disc is neat. (weird ass dimensions though...but i guess creative liberties and all.)

I think it's a fair bet that you wouldn't like this if you didn't like the first two witcher games :rolleyes:

Also probably not a good idea to infer that you pirated this.

Anyone got any thoughts about what kind of performance i'll get on a R9 290?

The published specs seem pretty steep for the Nvidia cards which it has been optimised for so not holding out much hope for the ATI cards.

Not necessarily, I didn't like the first two as combat was crap. this one looks much improved.

I think its time to upgrade my gtx 470!

Managing mid 30's to 40's at 1050p with with most things on medium or turned off. Dialogue look good but the world does seem to feel a bit flat at these settings.

grant666uk · 19 May 2015 at 13:59

Anyone had a Nvidia kernel has stopped responding crash ? Had one last night and one more five mins ago ??

Chisharpe · 19 May 2015 at 14:04

Just slated the beast. Some serious hours into this game. Side quests are really well done.
