I could max out part 1 with my 1GB 4890 for everything but the trade quarter. That killed my framerate and I had to lower some settings for those segments. I know 2 is more optimized, so I'm hopeful Minsc is right and I can play high on most settings. Quad Core as well. 4gb of RAM. Should I upgrade to 6?
Of course, my card also blew up while I was playing the Witcher a while ago. I think that was coincidence though and a bad card, as I've had the replacement for over a year with no issues.

I've been preaching this for years now to many gamers. It's in everybody best interest to have a gaming PC to complement the gaming experience at this stage in time because its quiet accessible and cheap. The reality is the mayority of console only gamers just don't want to listen.SneakyStephan said:

What would a quad core Q6600 , 4 gig RAM, and a 8800 GTX (not the GT) 768 ram would do ?
I played evey game so far max res max settings exept crysis that I needed to tweak.

I think it just doesn't register for some reason.
I had friends telling me back in the psx and ps2 era that pc games were much cheaper.
I KNEW they were, I thought it was quite amazing, but I couldn't afford a gaming pc (they were expensive obviously back then) till 2001.
Even before that I probably spent more on games + console that I would have had on the hardware and pc games.
But it just didn't register for me till I actually got my pc and started spending money on the games.
I used to be semi obnoxious about stuff like resolution n AA too, I clearly saw the difference on pc but I prefered half life on my ps2 (with keyboard mouse though, I wasn't a total retard) because the models were more detailed ,even though the framerate sucked and the res sucked.
I also really didn't give a damn about jaggies back then.
It used to piss off my pc gamer friends to no end.
As soon as I had a PC that could run these games at a higher res than 640x480 my standards quickly adjusted way up.
It's like trying to tell a guy who'se never had anything but hot dogs and burgers in his life that there is far better meat out there.
They wouldn't give a damn because they don't know any better and enjoy their hot dog.
I'm like that cat that won't have his catfood anymore after getting salmon or fresh tuna a few nights in a row.
All haughty, all like what are you trying to feed me now human.
It was easier to like ps2 games though than the games on my 360 or ps3 : 60 fps pretty much standard in most games where framerates matter, no bugs, no patches no screentearing no DLC or other bullshit.
Splitscreen available in all games where a 2 player mode made sense, multi tap 4-8 player support.
Ah those were the days.

I took the code - Thank you so much.
Means I can pass on the game I wanted to buy to my friend who's struggling a bit
with the financials, guess that'll be my birthday present for him.

Wow... I was too slow thinking it was bad of me if I was to take it... didn't know what would happen if I went to that link.
I've already purchased my copy, but would have loved a Steam version lol.
Awesome stuff dude! That's crazy!

That's crazy generous, hopefully the person who wins will return the favour to you in the future!

Not long now guys.
If it's really 150,000 seconds to go, then that's just under 42 hours.
That means, it will unlock just as I'm finishing work on Tuesday afternoon (or there abouts) I think.
That is almost perfect timing, then get home, finish the install, play with settings for towards an hour or so and then marathon the shit out of the game until midnight
It's bed time for me now. Ciao Ciao!

Aw come on....I could've used a free copy. Freaking MBA college fees are killing me. Damn!
And freaking Atari not releasing hard copy here in India. Usually games cost some 999Rs here, which is rough equivalent of $60 for us in real life terms (PPP you might say). Buying from steam costs some 2100Rs, so imagine buying a game for $130

Except the first Witcher game fucking rocked and didn't suck. TW2 was decent but Witcher 2 is above and beyond just from past experiences with the first game. I'd hardly say this situation is comparable. But that is just my opinion.DaBuddaDa said:

I'm assuming my GTX 560 + i5 2500 will slay this game.

Yes, they do, but I believe they compensate their users that pay more in other countries with credits on their site. You can use them to purchase additional games, so you're not really losing money.kittoo said:
However, they just opened up their site to where you can choose your region of purchase. You know, in case someone from another country was elsewhere at the time they wished to purchase something, but they didn't want to pay the amount based on their IP location. It's a trust system.
