Go on PC users, boycott the game and then The Witcher 4 will be console exclusive because you are just not worth it. Why don't you care about the 99% of PC gamers that don't have your elitist ideals and wealth to have graphics card that cost more than a console? They can't play the game like what you wish the game looked like. The PC version will still be better than consoles, will have upgrades in time and mods will make it look better even, but still will only be enjoyed by 1% of pc gamers. Just stop trying to justify the money you spent building your rig and accept that it was a waste of money for the most time and that 99% of the other pc gamers don't care for this unless they are delusional and think their rigs could play this game on Ultra.
It's exactly like those ultra real images of Crysis or Skyrim modded. Sure they are possible, but very few can actually play the game like that. Not all pcs are better or even close to PS4 or XBox One power, it is the truth. The optimization is also much more difficult in PC because of all configurations and OS overhead. If this polemic affects CD Projekt Red it means you elitists are louder than you should, not that they did a bad job or that the game is bad in any way.

you mean a 150$ gpu?

When did downgrading = optimising?
Optimising would be to give PC users the actual high end versio they showed last summer and consoles the current version. Also a mid range PC will run this game at an easy 60fps 1080p so what you mean is low end pcs. This is why I complain - the majority of pc owners are getting stuck with low end games for yet another generation and it is due to lazy developers who don't know what option settings are in a game engine. Hell, the new consoles were even made to make porting to PCs easy and allow for option boosts. There is no excuse nowadays for a bad pc port.
There is a myth out there that anything that looks great must run on some multi $1000 dollar machine. That is simply wrong. A very good gpu only costs about £120 now (a gpu at least x2 more powerful tahn the ps4), and a very high end gpu costs £220. So in short, a cheap pc will run rings around any game at 1080p and has done so for years.

After what you said about low and mid range PC's, you have even less of a reason to complain.
If they are getting a better product than the gamers who will be generating more revenue (consoles), then theres no question of a bad port.
I may be wrong, but I believe the PC version was the lead platform.
Back to the point, the downgrade issue was about the trailer they initially showed and yes, it would require a $1000+ PC to run it like that, so im glad they didnt bother with that for the minority who need to justify how much they paid for their PC, and instead cared more about the consoles and low/mid range PC's.

The top version could be ran on a modern mid range pc at 1080p 30fps, with a top gpu(so that's only a £230 gpu, not a £500-£1000 gpu like people think) running it at 60+fps at 1080p. If you want to argue about price, then post the specs CD R said the pc was (or are you just guessing?). The top image also looks like a next gen game.
The bottom image is a joke; poor lightning, low res textures, terrible draw distance, no tesselation or any surface variation for that matter etc. A company that can't make a decent graphics engine makes you wonder about their competency as programmers. If they couldn't do that, then how buggy will this game be? How much effort have they actually put in etc? How much of what they are claiming is in fact more rubbish and PR lying to fans.
At the end of the day, good graphics make a game more immersive so this is a big loss to a lot of people and I won't be buying a game that looks so bad.

What? A $150 GPU (the dollar is strong) like Nvidia GTX 750 Ti can play games like Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4 in 1080p with full detail only at around 15-25 fps and even then it struggles greatly. A $250 like Radeon R9 280 plays them at roughly 30-40 fps and only when reaching a $400 plus GPU like GTX 780 Ti is when it is possible to have 60fps stable. And we are talking about these two games. Now talking about a open world RPG like The Witcher 3 with those upper visuals? Never, simply impossible to have something running well even in 30fps with less than $300-400 GPUs.
