1080p with medium details, maybe textures on high if you're lucky. You should upgrade.

These are a bit dry. If you had a 860m, I would have assumed it would have been ok to play the game on your laptop.
My suggestion, based on what we know of the requirements today, is that you play it rather on a console.
The best thing to do is to wait for some extensive benchmarks and then buy the game for the platform of your choice.
I hope you get ploughed by Geralt in the heart.

Great rig, i hope you're at least at 1440p

I like how you have all that expensive hardware and the desktop icons are War3, Diablo 3, and Hearthstone.

3X SLI is not gonna cut it. You need 4X.
I am sorry but you can only play on Medium at best. At 900p.

I play CS: GO at 1280x1024. Lol. Plus you don't really need icons for Steam games. But yeah, 90% of my gaming is Hearthstone and Diablo 3. And Diablo 3 still drops to 30FPS in packed rifts. Lol.
True PC gamer. Take most expensive HW that is out there and then play older games with low resolution and low settings for locked FPS 200+
And not surprised about Diablo 3 performance, Blizzard engine runs on everything but not well on anything.dampflokfreund

Well, the problem is I don't have a PS4/Xbox. And I don't really need one.
The thing is, in other multiplatformgames I get a performance between Xbox One and PS4 quality with some PC features but considering this is a massive open world title with extremly high system requirements its a little different this time. Guess I have to wait till Notebookcheck delivers some benchmarks
SC2 engine was the worst thing Bliz ever made.

Yeah heaven forbid someone with a nice PC should play one of the all time great games. I still have Warcraft III on my desktop, haha.

New cards will be coming sooner. Much sooner.
Damn I didn't notice that.
i dont think pascal will be arriving this year, maybe the 980ti, but i only game at 1080p, so the regular 980 should do me fine for now, if you're referring to amd, i don't use their cards

Suppose I was looking for a gaming pc to run this game fairly well. Would a Alienware x51 be a good choice?
Honestly, take a couple of hours and read up about building your own. It's very, very easy and you'll be able to make something better for less.

Wonder how my 760 & i5-3570k will do. Debating between pc and console ver.
depends... pros with alienware is you can finance it and build up your credit. the x51 in particular goes great with a living room setup.
but with x51 you're dealing with limited wattage which severely restricts upgrades. i've got a 970 in there running fine, could probably get a 980 in there if i switched to a smaller fan. but the thing's future is reliant on how power efficient the next gen of cards are (and how small they are)
the higher priced models could handle witcher fine. but if you want to go balls out on settings you'll have to upgrade out of the box (the "best" card they're shipping with is a 960, at the moment)

These are my current settings:
Geforce GTX 760
Intel Core i5-4670K
8GB RAM
I'm considering the PS4 version, if it turns out the best I can pull off is a PS4-equivalent experience.
That said if there are certain components that are on sale that will guarantee a better performance, I'd like to hear them.

Got the exact same setup - was considering an upgrade to a 970 or 980 [if budget supports it], but concerned that the processor/ram might bottleneck. Any thoughts GAF?
Don't know whether to buy this on GOG or Steam.
Steam: buy it and forget it. Auto-updates, right there next to all my other games, very convenient.
GOG: cheaper, but then I gotta set up this stupid Galaxy thing and deal with that, if not I have to manually download patches, etc. I also have a much smaller GOG library, I like things all consolidated.

the galaxy client is very good, at least so far it has been, very user friendly and organized, i thought i was gonna hate it, i was ready to sell the code that came with my card and buy the game on steam and cut my loses but i decided to give it a shot before doing that and im glad i did
EDIT: the client also has auto game update, so that's nice

Exact same. My quess is we will get an fps in the high 40's with ultra + Nvidia tech. Maybe 50+ though.. I hope.
It'll be fine for high/ultra with 970 and that CPU.
You can always overclock the 4670 to around 4.5ghz if you need to.
8gb ram is the recommended amount, it should be fine with that.

Have they said how big this Day 1 Patch will be?

Don't think so, but there's at least two patches already. Or rather the highest version I know of is 1.02 and 1.01 is required to play the game (it essentially unlocks it).
I think they're preparing another patch.
I hoped they fixed the galaxy download speed problem.
I appreciate it. The PS4 is tempting, but because I'm away from home a lot it would be nice to take this with me on my laptop. I will wait a little for some comparisons and drivers before making a final decision.

You could probably run the first witcher game on normal. Forget about witcher 3.

Not sure if this has been posted but the Nvidia Game Ready Driver for Wild Hunt is out.
Downloading now.
Feels good to have both on my PC. Wish I didn't have to work tonight.

Laptop bros report! I7 3660, 680m, 8gb. Looking forward to those sweet, sweet medium settings with a stupidly volatile frame rate.
Fuck it all, maybe I should just buy the ps4 version. Importing my save is the only reason I'm considering the PC atm.

Benchmarks are up. Looks like the new patch added a new higher graphical preset than the previous settings. I wonder if the Geforce Chart knew this was coming/take this into account.
Might have to lower my expectation of performance a bit. This looks rough.

Ouch, ~45 avg. framerate on a 970 with no hairworks or HBAO+. Looks like I'm gonna have to drop some settings to high from ultra to get that stable 60fps. Do we know what settings are particularly taxing?

Guess it's time to start overclocking my 770. I want that 1080p uber with at least 30 fps. I've been a good man, I deserve as much.
