I believe it's HBAO+ too, so that's good for all of us.

The Witcher 3 runs at 1080p ULTRA ~60 fps on a 980

I hope it was really well over 60fps, cause Nvidia Hairworks, Anti-aliasing, Sharpening and Light Shafts were turned off, and SSAO was used instead of HBAO+
I would have expected all those effects on for Ultra preset, i hope the game still mantains 60fps with these stuff turned on with a GTX 980
Nvidia is really good with getting game-specific optimized drivers out really fast.
Makes sense that Nividia will be the best for this game on day 1, especially when coupled with all the features that are enabled if you have their cards.
As an AMD owner (more than satisfied with my card), unfortunately this was expected. They pay money to the devs to prioritise their cards, which happens all the time at the big studios. Rocksteady with their Arkham Knight unfortunately as well. Ah well, on the bright site, AMD's gonna get Deus Ex Mankind Divived though, so it's not all lost.
Well, good luck with that.
(I'd find it disappointing if the maximum presets were so low as to achieve 60 FPS on a single card at launch)
Ok but we are talking about a 550$ card, and about a game which has been downgraded too
I never understood this. The right argument would be to say that u wish the graphics looked a lot better than they do but you already know what the game looks like so to say that your disappointed that a single card can run it makes no sense. If anything u should be wishing that a 980 could do even more than this. I'm sure there will be much better looking games in the future and I for one hope my 980 can handle those better looking games as well
Or maybe he has a cards, or cards, more powerful than a 980 and he'd like to be able to flex his computer's muscles? I like the idea of games that push the requirements and demand higher spec'd hardware, as long as it's optimized to use that power for good lookin'.

He is saying he wished it pushed graphics furthur forward. Like Crysis, where the Hardware had to grow into the software. Future proof, and ages in reverse, looking better as better hardware releases.
Makes perfect sense. PC gamers like tech to advance as fast as possible, and to do so, software has to push hardware. Otherwise there is no motivation to push tech.
No, I also am dissapointed they don't have graphical settings that push far beyond what a 980 is capable of.
Im sorry but i have a huge issue with this view point. Nvidia and cd projeckt are marketing nvidia specific features for this game. Heck nvidia is bundling the game with gtx 970 and 980 and hyping up the features that are "possible" with these cards...now you are telling me i shouldnt expect to be able to turn on these features and have a stable acceptable framerate...
Im totally for games pushing the graphical enevelope but if your marketing these features on these device for a specific game i think its totally readonable to assume they should be able to....

No word about 21/9 format support ?

I wonder if a dedicated physx card would make a difference for this game. I was thinking of picking up a 750ti just for that but gonna wait it out to see if there are any actual benefits.
But honestly, I'm pretty sure i'll be able to run everything on ultra at 1080/30 with my 780.....i hope.

I still use it, it's very simple and accurate and it only displays the FPS and nothing else (no temperature etc.). It's my go-to software, yes.
Steam has an fps counter.
If you have an nVidia card, you don't need to download any extra software. Just toggle Show FPS Counter in GeForce experience.
dedicated physx cards really make little sense most of the time. You'd always be better off (and be spending money more efficiently) by buying a stronger GPU instead of a moderately powerful gpu + physx card.
If SLI is ready to go at launch? 1080p/60fps with all features enabled. 1440p/60fps if things are really well done.
So according to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87tOpDomsmM&feature=youtu.be&t=494
W3 should run fine at high preset even if you have mid-range GPU like GTX960/670/760.
Good job CDPR I guess?

How much performance can I squeeze out of a 3 GB R9 280x?
Though I believe my i3 would need to be upgraded
Though I believe my i3 would need to be upgraded
there are pages upon pages of people asking these questions. The game isn't out yet..... but come on , two 970s are going to perform very well in any game.....you wouldn't have chosen to spend $700 on them if you didn't know that.
Good to know when I use steam for games. I avoid them when I can for better customer support but it's nice to know the option is there
Ah yes I just found it thanks
Yes that actually makes sense which is what I was saying. I also wish there was a game that graphically destroyed everything we have now but witcher is not that game. We've all seen it so what I'm saying is that based of what I've seen from the witcher Id be disappointed if my 980 couldn't handle it, not that I wouldn't like the witcher to have even better graphics than it does now. I think what he meant to say was that he wished witcher looked better and that the devs would have pushed the graphics farther but instead it came of as if he was disappointed that a 980 is powerful enough to handle what the they've shown us.

I guess I have to test and decide between
1080p Ultra 60fps
or
4k High >30fps.
My monitor has a good scaler, so might go wit the 1080p option.

This bit from the manuel made me laugh.
Poor AMD.
Also a bit about importing saves.
I wish it would let you import but still change a few things. I killed Letho but I'm thinking maybe I should have let him live.

Hoping my i5-2500k, 16 gb DDR3 and my GTX 770 can at least run it on high.

Permabanned.
any idea what the recommended specs give? only thing holding me back is my cpu. i have an i5-4590 but it needs an i7-3770. i got an 290.
if i can't get 60fps with graphics similar to PS4 then i'm not gonna bother. 60fps is the only reason i'll buy it on PC.

60 fps. Always

Pretty similar to me, except I have a 2600k. Medium should be good for 60fps. Or turn everything up and lock it to 30fps like you suggested.
Yeah true, I just want all the bells and whistles including hairworks.
Isn't there a conversation you can have in the game to just re-select choices anyway? I lost my TW2 save ages ago and am hoping that this will suffice. Don't want to replay the game before the sequel launches either as I know I'll get fatigued. Especially if the new one is 100 hours for everything as suggested.
Who doesn't? I have two 970s and play at 2560x1600 but I'd be upset if I'm able to completely max the game with them. That would mean that the game isn't very forward thinking when it comes to the engine / graphical effects. I want the game to have things that I won't be able to use now but may be able to at high framerates with my next generation of gpu(s). I want something that gives owners of Titan X SLI setups a reason to have their cards....... that's one of the points of PC gaming in my opinion.... ultimate scale-ability.

Yeah you can import or answer questions. There are only 4/5 questions though. I saw them on a youtube video yesterday. They don't cover everything just a few main points to decide what certain characters are doing and where they are in the world.
Don't worry, hairworks will probably bring it all to the ground for you.
Although another gaffer reassured me about it being different to fc4 and remade for tw3 or something, I'm still hella skeptical after fc4 performance.
I wonder what even actually works on the Nvidia effects side or if they'll just include a bunch of broken, unplayable effects because it's been marketed.
Guh, FC4 really upset me with the non-support of 16:10 resolutions so I never really messed around much with hairworks. Looking forward to playing this proper PC game.
