You should be fine on PC if that's what you want to go with.
The Witcher 3 runs at 1080p ULTRA ~60 fps on a 980

Probably not intentionally. Alot of optimization can occur in the time they've posted the recommended specs and release.
Visually I think the game looks incredible but when you've got people asking with 770's asking if they should play it on PS4, something's up.
I don't think so, maybe you should buy it on console

Holy shit is it up? Thanks for the heads-up. I am at work dammit!
Thank you for the advice! I'm going to look at i7s as a potential upgrade
Personally I would say an i5 is still the way to go if gaming is the most intensive task you with do on your PC. If these synthetic benchmarks are anything to go by then HT wouldn't scale as well and it would be better to invest money in getting a more powerful GPU as an upgrade. *Obviously keep in mind beta nature of Directx12 + the test being synthetic and not real world skews the data.

Yes but you have to use a monochrome monitor.

How CPU heavy is the game? I have a 980 and a 3770k@4.5ghz. Is the CPU the weakest link?

You can always add some magnetic tape.Trick question, game won't even fit on the HDD.

You could run it on a external hard drive
You'll be fine a 3770k at 4.5ghz won't bottleneck even a 980 sli
No, SLI is buggy right now and you won't get proper performance. You can try overclocking them or running the game at 544p.
For reals though:
GTX 780 (stock)
i7-3770k (OC'd to 4.2Ghz)
12GB of RAM
Can I ultra this at 1080p60 or 1440p60? Cause it's not lookin like it.
Serial port is too slow.
It's probably pretty CPU heavy (open world games are CPU intensive by nature), but keep in mind that newer games are heavily multithreaded since they have to get all they can out of the awful PS4/Bone CPUs. Your i7 will be perfectly fine, especially at that clock speed.
More than likely, not. But it depends on video memory for the most part. I definitely wouldn't jump from a 780 Ti to a 980 at this point, it's a marginal upgrade unless you just want a more efficient card or are really hurting for that extra gig of VRAM, which probably isn't the case at 1080p.

so hypothetically an i5-3350p, GTX 970 should have no trouble running it at 30 fps High-Ultra correct?

Okay, thanks. Never too sure what to make of CPU requirements with some games but this sounds promising.

I'll be happy with 1080/60 on high with my 970/4690k if it'll do it.
Otherwise Ultra at 30 perhaps.

Not at all. If you're going to mix high with Ultra, you should achive 60 FPS with that card.
matrixman92
Member
oh...huh. So I could maybe get all ultra 30 fps?
I think you definitely could. Assuming that the game runs at 1080 Ultra 60fps for 980s, I think a 970 should have no problems running 1080 Ultra at 30fps.
Definitely. The 980 can do ultra at 60. The 970 is NOT a 50% downgrade from that, more like 10-20%.
You should totally be fine. Hairworks might toss a wrench in that. TBH we can't really know until the game is out, but if you're shooting for 30 you should have no problems at all.

sweet, thanks! My 970 I ordered should arrive tomorrow, really looking forward to it

Not sure if this chart is any good, but this is the first Google result for "video card benchmarks":
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
My 7850 might get Medium at 1080p at 30fps? I don't know. It did handle DA Inquisition pretty well.

Thinking about it this is pretty modest, my 580 was practically the best you could buy at the time Witcher 2 came out and with everything on Ultra AND ubersampling turned on I could only get about 30fps out of it, and it certainly wasn't stable. Without ubersampling though I had a stable 60. It seems to be a pretty similar scenario here so I'm guessing Ubersampling is gone or off by default.

Big mistake by Nvidia not having the 980 TI available when this game launches. I'd insta buy one to upgrade my 970.
I doubt it would be your cpu holding you back in that scenario

Shit hopefully my i7 2600 non k at 3.9 is still up for the challange to get high/ultra at 60fps with my 970 oced.

Here's my new baby. First gaming PC. Thanks to an awesome slickdeal. (GTX 980, i7-4790k, liquid cooled)
Didn't know HP still made desktop PCs.
Nice specs!

Depending on what ultra fully entails it depends but if you have a good cpu with an oced 970 I would think so.

Don't know much about gaming PC's, actually I hardly know a thing. My brother sold me his computer for 300 dollars a few weeks ago. As far as I know there is 2 AMD Radeon 7900's linked with crossfire or something like that. How effed em I running this? Sorry for the lacking in information question.
EDIT:
16 GB of memory and a i5-3570k CPU

Click ont he start menu or the windows 8 start menu and type "dxdiag". run that. Should tell you what your GPU is under the display tab.
Maybe ultra at 30+? I think two 7950s should be faster than a single 970.

It just says 7900 series, doesn't tell me exactly what it is, if I remember correctly it's two 7950's
Hmm, the fact that they are simply listed as 7900 series in dxdiag isntead of a specific model, leads me to think that you might not have the latest drivers installed.
Make sure you do: go to amd.com and download the latest drivers for your GPUs. From then on I believe the catalyst center thingy should keep your drives fully updated.
