I find the bestiary is VERY good for finding the vulnerabilities of different enemies. Also you need to learn the enemies attack pattern which is similar to dark souls etc.
If you're really having trouble you can change the difficulty at any time.

What fps are people getting at 1440p with a single 970? And with what settings?
Think I might upgrade to a 1440p monitor in the next few weeks and then maybe go sli with my 970

Was a bit worried about performance with my 780 but after playing for a few hours I am happy. I am running at 2560x1440 with most settings on high, hair off, and a few on medium like shadows and foliage distance, as well as blurs and depth of field off.
I get a steady 40-45 in large outdoor areas and 50+ indoors.
Specs:
i5 2500k @ 4.4
16gb Ram

Can't help with the single 970 but the Nvidia hair thing really killed the fps on my 980 SLI, turn that off and you should be OK.
Andi.
Spent a good 4 hours playing it last night, exploring around the starting area, taking things slowly, doing some exploring, combat, questing, and spent some time fiddling with the crafting and other parts of the UI. So far, I'm absolutely loving it, the atmosphere, characters, storyline, and immersion are fantastic.
The combat difficulty seems fine on blood and bones, quite challenging, however there are a few niggles.
The lock on system is a bit pants, losing your target or not selecting the correct one initially is annoying, and I'm finding it tough to time my counters with the parry ability (can you parry monster/beast attacks?).
Performance wise, my R9 290 handles it brilliantly. I've not measured the FPS I'm getting, but I'm running @ 1080p with everything on (inc. post process stuff) & on ultra except shadows and foliage on high, and hairworks off, and the game runs perfectly at the moment. The sheer quality and scale of the game as a whole makes the graphical niggles pale into insignificance (that low-res grass aside), which makes them easy to quickly forget about (or not even notice at all); my console playing house-mate was absolutely blown away by the visuals..
Massive admiration and appreciation to CDPR for this stunning masterpiece, I can see it being an incredible game, with non of the generic hunt & collect quest fatigue I usually get from large, open world games.
There's some good guides out there already on the web worth checking out, stuff like being able to drop all the books / letters you get in a spot on the floor to free up inventory and keeping the witcher armor as you can craft high-tier armor with it later on for example.

Turn down the AA on hairworks in the visuals.ini file from 8xaa to 2.
That should enable you to have hairworks on at a much lower performance cost.

I found 2 pretty good starter swords just randomly exploring "?" sites, one was a hidden treasure quest that i found by pure luck
Can't help you there, they're one if the first things I turned off!
But I can tell you if you visit blacksmiths, they can craft new weapons for you, if you have found or bought the blueprints.
I've read conflicting views on the interwebnet whether you can find or craft better weapons.
I read somewhere that it's a good idea to hang on to your starter gear as it can be upgraded. I found a decent steel sword & accidentally sold my witcher one this morning so going to have to reload when I get home as I can't afford to buy it back whoops.

Im not sure you would notice much difference unless you were playing higher resolution.
PS4 version looks pretty similar.
