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

IIRC that was another "equivalent PC".

Based on how well optimized Witcher 3 looks to be, i am expecting to run it at max settings at 2560x1440.
I7 4770k @ 4.2
780TI SLI with heavy OC.

Nah the Griffin Hunt at Microsoft's Conference was supposedly legit on the X1.
I also remember reading somewhere recently that one of the planned "things" they're doing before release, over the next 2 months, is going to be showing off PS4 Gameplay. I've always found finding the source for Witcher related stuff a nightmare because so many articles are in different languages, but I'm 100% I read that.
It would have been nice to see some PS4 Gameplay already, but then even PS4-Marketed titles like Arkham Knight still haven't released any console footage (At least not to my knowledge), so I don't think it's completely crazy.
Hopefully they'll be showing it off sooner rather than later, but it's definitely coming!

Damn, seems like i'm gonna be pretty okay with a factory overclocked R9 290, really nice news. Just hope my cpu won't bottleneck me too hard, as long as i can keep atleast 30fps i'll be fine.
Then again, if the keyboard and mouse controls turn out to be great i'll have to lower the settings to get 60.

Hoping it makes it with flying colors @ 1440p/60fps with SLi 980s, as that's my current and foreseeable future setup. Can't wait for this game.
Yeah, they said the E3 footage was running on an actual Xbox. The demo that they showed off on IGN was running on PC, you could see the difference immediately.
I also cant think of many multiplatform games that release footage of each version. Devs generally stick to whatever their "lead" platform is, which in this case is PC. Like you said, Arkham is still showing off the PC version with playstation buttons and thats out only 2 weeks later. I dont think we have any idea what version of MKX we've been seeing, no one seems to care about that one though.

TW2 was DX9, TW3 is DX11 (12 maybe?). It's much easier to use MSAA on advanced renderers in DX10+.
The AA solution may also have played a part in giving the impression of lower quality textures. I can't take their word for it.

Yeah, witcher 2 was dx9 deferred. Something which messes horribly with MSAA.

What's your boost clock?
So every 970 owner should just overclock the GPU to 1300-1400Mhz to get the same result?
"They" is CDPR.
Every video since has been on PC. Although, they supposedly showed off the PS4 version of that demo during TGS, it was never released but there was some famitsu scans somewhere that showed japanese text and ps button prompts.
People worrying over console versions can calm down, it's not like CDPR are developping two games. Structurally all versions will be equal, it has to be in a multiplatform project.
Basically, take the PC version at max settings, remove the ultra bells and whistles (GPU Physx, HBAO+, Hairworks), tone down the LOD/foliage and you have a console version.

6-10 frames less. Which more than likely means 60fps on High.

These screens have no aliasing.
Even including the time of day and general low contrast... I partially doubt that.

Well, that means pretty much nothing. Console games are always shown without aliasing these days. Pretty much industry standard practice.
That said, add some aliasing and that's probably what the PS4 version will look like. I'm not expecting a big difference between PC\PS4 without the mysterious "ultra" settings they refuse to show.
Well, considering what their AO solution looks like in terms of artifacts HBAO+ will be a pretty significant difference in and of itself.
I guess that's part of "Ultra", though in my experience HBAO+ isn't really too expensive.
Ok, and what about this screen than? again, its from the Famitsu article - it has PS4 button prompts
And some new info and impressions from Gamestar.de - translatated by a Witcher forum member
To be fair, button prompts from controllers are not necessarily a definitive way to tell if the game is actually running on the console itself. But this screen does seem doable for the PS4, I guess.Ok, and what about this screen than? again, its from the Famitsu article - it has PS4 button prompts

Well I was just pointing out that I would not expect that IQ.
Also, regarding button prompts... there have been many times where games just have button prompts being displayed when it is actually the PC version.

Best recent example: the E3 demo of Batman Arkham Knight. Seriously, when devs show the versions of high end PC's, it almost feels like they are unconfident about showing the console versions to the public. Still waiting for PS4 footage of both games.
Ever heard of 120/144hz champ?

Lol aren't these impressions? And why wouldn't it run well on one of the most powerful cards out there?
You may be jumping to conclusions here. The mere fact that it was running on undisclosed PC hardware (probably Nvidia) does not mean it's not how the console versions will look. What prevents them from showcasing what the consoles will look like on PC hardware just to brute force unoptimized code ?

With all of the added development time in addition to the almost guaranteed driver update NVIDIA will release for it I expect this game to be extremely well optimized. It's going to both look and run really well.

one too many badly optimized PC games have gamers cynical I guess.
Bad optimization.

Same bench except with Last Light Redux paints an even better picture
Edit: Wait that's at 1080p :lol. Yours is at a much higher reso

The Redux update to Metro: Last Light is actuall ymissing volumetric lights in some areas of the game.

Keep in mind many stock 970's will be able to reach those numbers, and 980's can he pushed beyond that point as well.

Guys, there is an extremely important sentence here.
"The difficulty changes the enemy intelligence (for example monsters evade less often on the lower difficulties) but not the hitpoints"
This is HUGE understanding of how action game difficulty is meant to be done. We rarely see this

As someone who is going to take tons of screenshots of this game , this pleases me greatly .
I need a single button toggle for this. Please, CDP?
