Sounds decent. Yeah the i7 with 6970m.

Not really. 6970m will handle Witcher 2 @ Ultra at 40-50~ FPS @ 1080p. It's as fast (and sometimes faster) than a 460 GTX.

Why do you think I bought an M17x R3 and am selling my 5870m-equipped G73?
I've no love for Alienware and much love for Asus, but the 6970m is a beast of a mobile card, especially combined with Sandy Bridge. It's basically a desktop 6850. Hell, even the 5870m plays Witcher 2 on High @ 30-40+ FPS. Expect your Witcher 2 performance to keep increasing as patches and new (truly optimized) drivers come out; should make subsequent replays + DLC even more fun to play.

Ah fair enough. Mobile cards are not my area of expertise.
Yeah i want more content, already on my second playthrough. I'll wait for DLC news next week (if there is any) before starting third and final playthrough.

Try the medium-high performance focused config:

Try the one notch higher one if you want more prettiness.

Good stuff. I already had an altered but went even further.

Is there anyway to change the text size in game? I am playing on a 50'' 1080p Toshiba and I can barely read anything in game.

Damn that sucks so much. Those little info windows pop up and I have no idea what they are saying.

Thank you. I dont know why I never thought to click on that before.
I'm a little suspicious...Ultra with with SSAO off is totally playable for me (same ish for that Ultra config Boob posted). 25-30 fps (though 31 is the rare max) with some dips into the teens rarely, only tested in the prologue. It's a little weird.
6770m/quad core.
Edit: Hah, tried Uber for the first time. Got me way down in the low teens. ~11-15, 20 is the max.
Edit2: I think I'm gonna stick with Boob's Ultra config for now, if the FPS drops later too much, I'll switch to the high one.

I'm getting a lot of slowdowns for half a second each, very noticable while running around or turning the camera. Thing is, yesterday they weren't there
Radeon6870, Athlon X4 and 4 Gigs of Ram, ran fine yesterday :/ Damn, that's no fun at all now.
Hell, even if I set it to 'medium' it basically runs like shit. I'm slightly annoyed right now.

Controller is PERFECT with a couple of simple adjustments:
1) Swap Left Trigger and Left Bumper so that Left Trigger is lock on and Left Bumper is quick menu.
2) Make D-pad Left next spell and D-pad Right next item; you don't need a individual button for silver or steel sword since you can do this in the quick menu (left bumper) and you don't change swords nearly as often as you change spells and items.
After these two changes, the controls work awesome with a 360 controller.
You do need to keep in mind to use the d -pad in the menus and that the menus work on a strick "Up or down" and "left or right" input basis. Even if a menu looks curved, you just use left or right or up and down to navigate it.

Probably because either they want the extra frames or they don't like the way it looks. It does look a bit jaggy with it off especially since you can't force AA through NVIDIA Control Panel and I don't know if you can force it through Catalyst as well without getting that white fog on the OP anymore.

Yes, or do a system restore/rollback driver.

Uber set to 0
Uber set to 1
Uber set to 2
Heck, uber looks slightly blurrier to me in the textures.
That doesn't seem right to me. Uber should make textures look more detailed...that's one of the points of supersampling.
Looking at my shots here:
Uber:
Ultra:
The textures are indeed a little blurrier with Ubersampling on...notice the wood grain. However, look at the bricks in the distance, and they're noticeably more detailed with Uber on. Something is very weird here...
Maybe Uber on disables the sharpen filter?
edit: yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it. Look at Geralt's clothes, and how unnaturally sharp the textures seem there. Bad sharpening artifacts, giving the impression of greater detail. With Uber on, you can actually see the grain in his clothing. With Uber off, it's replaced by a bunch of black dots.

Sounds like I've got a problem then. I don't even pretend to hit 40-50 with an i5 760 @ 3.66 and a 1GB 460 OC'ed up to non-Ti 560 levels (850/1700/2000). Much of the forest dived sub-30 @ 1080p on Ultra with pretty much every option off (uber, blurs, all DoFs)--save for SSAO and AA being on.

Ok, so I finally went to start the game up yesterday, and the entire opening scene is covered in a very thick fog. I Google'd why this might be happening, and it seems to be a Crossfire issue. The thing is I'm only running a single 5750.
So I started messing around with my drivers. Uninstalled my current drivers and installed the 11.5b Hotfix drivers, but that didn't fix anything, so I uninstalled those and installed vanilla 11.5 drivers. I'm still having the issue, so I'm gonna try 11.4 drivers next.
Anybody have any idea what is causing this and/or would fix this?

"Getting really weird fog-like visuals like above? Most likely you are forcing AA in your GPU's drivers, turn AA off in CCC/nVidia. Or maybe Catalyst AI is to blame." - From the OP

Hrm. Not sure how I didn't see that. I guess I got halfway through the OP and figured most of it was the same as it was two weeks ago. Thanks.M.D said:

Except when in the journal and there is nore text that can fit in the box. With the pre-patch version, you could use the analog stick to scroll down and read the rest of the entry for what you are reading in the journal. With the patch, you can't use the analog sticks, you can navigate up down with the dpad, but you cant scroll down, which for many that want to read teh complete entry in the journal, your shit out luck.

Turn SSAO and AA off, and turn everything else (sans uber on). Watch your FPS go way up.
Honestly, SSAO and AA are the BIGGEST performance hogs out of all the [non-uber] settings (20-40% FPS loss), and they have the worst eye-candy
erformance ratio. Turning those off first and enabling everything else usually results in a much better looking, performing game than with other stuff off and those two on.cleveridea

I have a 1.5GB 460M should I set Texture Size to Very Large or Large?
And I often get flicking on minor items like a tiny portion of hair, or say on the ends of pieces of wood - is this because my texture memory isnt enough for my setting? Its usually not a big deal, just odd.
