Will The Witcher 3 run better on my PC or Xbox?

ThePoundDollar · 8 Jun 2015 at 12:24

Hi,
I've had my PC for just over a year now and I'm still not 100% sure on whether games will run better on my PC or Xbox One. I'm looking to play ACU and The Witcher 3 over the summer, so I'm just curious which platform they'll run better on, my PC or Xbox?

According to 'Can You Run It', my PC meets the minimum requirements but not the recommended ones (Video Card and CPU need upgrading). Any help is appreciated

PC Specs:
Intel i5 4670K @ 3.40 GHz
AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB
8GB RAM
Windows 8.1

Will run far better on PC mate

Might be worth OCing your CPU a bit, but it will run fine regardless.

PC, vastly better.
Xbone runs it at medium/high at 900p with fluctuating framerate 25-30, you will be able to get high/ultra in 1080p at 30fps easy on PC.
In fact every game will run much better on your PC. For example Ryse runs 900p at 30fps, I played it on PC with 280X at 1080p/60fps.

Thanks for the advice. Will definitely be buying it on PC.

No danger does your cpu need upgraded. 4670K is a brilliant cpu. But I would defo overclock it. Will easily do over 4ghz. 4.5+ with decent cooling.

Gpu is also good, more so than Xbox gpu.

Nothing wrong with the CPU but agree, you can OC that bugger for 'free' for the most part. The GPU is fine too - sure you won't run at max settings but I think you can manage medium/high settings. Depends on the resolution you want to run at though.

You should probably check the potato masher series on youtube, 350 dollar pc vs ps4 and the potato masher frequently by far outshines the console. Your graphics card alone probably cost that much
