Domstercool said:Lol! I tried to run it on 1920x1200 on the highest settings possible with full everything.... was getting 10-14 fps in opening cutscenewoops
I have a Q9550 @ 3.4Ghz. 4GB DDR and a 4870x2 overclocked >.<
It's because there is no crossfire support yet, so your 4870x2 is just a 4870.
Did those 'full everything' settings include ubersampling? (I sure hope so)

Just picked up my premium edition. So good. Installing now, this is probably one occasion when DD and preloading would have come in handy. At the same time I have an art book to look through along with three papercraft figures, never mind the other stuff. I'm a sucker for video game fake currencies, so the temerian coin is pretty nice for me.
I've been reading gameplay impressions and seen a few screens of the game running, but I haven't followed a lot of what's been said about it so I don't know if this is old news to you guys, but opening up the actual game box was awesome -
Not really spoilers, but just in case this isn't well known and people want to surprise themselves.
I heard a couple of people in this thread talking about the witcher mouse, and that that premium orders didn't get it. I did, which I also wasn't expecting - I don't really need a mouse, but it's good to have an extra one I guess. The mousepad I definitely could use. I also got both DLCs - the roche jacket and mysterious merchant, but I have no idea what that does. Sells rare things, maybe?
I think my overall point is really CDProjekt is awesome. So awesome.

Along with the manual and maps came an anonymous letter 'sealed' with wax proclaiming King Henselt a hog and deserves what's coming to him (complete with drawing of king piggy) which I guess gives us a good idea about what's going on. Also out fell a second, smaller coin with a different design, so I'm pretty pleased with myself right now.

Well, I've seen a Collector's Edition at my local Gamestop today and it was a thing of beauty. The bust of Geralt's head is very heavy!
Luckily the DLC is contained on vouchers with a code so you can put those in separately which is what I am planning on doing on my GOG digital version!

Australian success!
Hopefully I can play today retail and then transfer the save to the GOG edition.

On High I'm getting around high 20s low 30s in cutscene start (Cutscene intro has lots of rain effects and so on) and 50 in game.

Wow, that's nuts! This game performs pretty good yay.

They're interested, but there's nothing concrete made public. For what it's worth, in the GAF thread for Witcher 1, a CDProjekt rep said the same thing, but that didn't work out too well due to outsourcing.
In a recent interview, the Executive Producer said they will wait on the reception of their pc release before deciding. Maybe we'll hear something at E3 ?

I've got a Macbook Pro that I game on with the help of bootcamp.
It's got:
4GB of Ram
Nvidia 330m GT
2.66GHz Intel Core i7
How well should I be able to run it? Probably low/medium settings?
I can run Crysis at medium settings in 1280 x 800 pretty smoothly.

Is your crossfire working? I have two 5850s ?

That logic is messed up.cackhyena said:
Any rig that'll run it will still produce better graphics than what you'd get on consoles.
So you'd rather have it look worse, be capped at 30 fps and be forced to play on a low resolution than have to lower some settings in a game menu?
If you didn't actually have a pc capable of running it I would understand.
My Ferrari has a scratch on the fender, I think I'll drive my 1989 polo instead.
SneakyStephan said:
So, uh, Crossfire support. I'm new to this, only having bought my second card last week.
Why doesn't this game support it out of the box? Does every game need a driver profile from AMD to support Crossfire?
The only two games I've played on the new setup so far have been Crysis (1!) and Witcher. That probably explains why I had no idea, heh.

bounchfx said:just got my copy on Steam. Super pumped, but no pre loading? ffff
It's not really a surprise though, they announced no preloading over a month ago, April 14th actually. I'd much rather have achievements and cloud saves over pre-loading anyway, if I had to choose.

New engines do, and the RED engine is a new one. Did crossfire even help with the first Witcher? Most of the posts I see with SLI are about it messing up the lighting.

How do you access the pre-order bonus content?

Yes, retail. I have to enter a code activation tab that is supposed to be in the game launcher.
EDIT: Found it. You had to register the game to access the "downloadable content" tab where the pre-order code prompt was.

AMD x4 955 BE
4GB RAM DDR3
GTX 460 1GB DDR3 Factory Overclocked
Those are my specs. High is reasonable expectation with good FPS? Whats the likely res I should use. My stable native is a weird res lol. Its 1824x1026. If I do full 1080p then it kinda messes up the scaling on my monitor using HDMI.

Thanks for the response. That's ok, I can wait a couple days to play it I guess. I hope AMD/ATi is fast with this stuff(?).
The framerate wasn't noticeably faster on the Witcher 1 with Crossfire (6870s), but what it helped was the tearing. It was gone after throwing the second card in. So, I'm guessing the framerate WAS better? I didn't look to see what the framerate was before I upgraded.
It helped Crysis tremendously. Literally, a 100% improvement. I am pleased.

So there's really no hope of Steam having the option to accept retail codes? I really want to buy a CE.

If you didn't have just a dual core CPU, I'd say you'd hit ultra no problems. High seems pretty much a sure thing to me.
dgenx said:
Actually a 9600GT isn't as slow as I thought, I assumed since the 9800GT = 8800GT, the 9600GT would follow similar logic, but that's not true, it's a ton faster than a 8600GT. It's only a small bit slower than the 8800GT, 10% or so. With a nice quad core, you probably have a decent shot at medium after all, sorry about misleading you.
The person giving impressions earlier was on a laptop version of the 9600 card, which is a lot slower and they were doing 20fps at low, so you should be much better off.

I'm going to lock the framerate at 30fps and go balls deep with the settings.
My precious 4890 - strap yourself in and feel the cheese.

Why wouldn't he be able to play on ultra?Minsc said:
If there really is anything in the game so taxing on the cpu (that you can actually change) then I'm sure there'll be an option to turn it down seperately.
If he is bottlenecked by his cpu then changing texture settings etc won't get him any less fps.

Question about the thread title for people who have played the first game:
my cinematic said "I solve human problems; not always with a sword." If I had made different choices would that line change?
