AMD's Phenom II X4 955 3.2 Ghz

HD 5770 1GB

8GB RAM

I have textures set to the highest, LOD distance set to mid, SSAO on, light shafts on, Bloom off, Vsync on, all blurs and DoF off, shadows mid, AA on.

1080P

I get ~30 fps most of the time raising to ~40 fps and droping as low as ~20 fps in intense areas like the mist/never ending battle in act 2.

I have a GTX 480

Throughout the entire game, except for a few parts here and there I ran at 35 FPS. I played it on custom at 1920x1200 where I had stuff like blur and bloom off, but I had ubersampling on and other such things. I had to sed Draw distance to the 2nd highest though, and that made me sad. I guess it was good because *SPOILER* the fight with the dragon *END* would have been terrible with the highest draw distance.

Edit: i7 930 CPU

Game runs on highest settings ( without ubersampling) in 1920x1080 resolution. I get around 40fps on this config.

Two things though, this was before the 1.1 patch which is supposed to increase performance for my version of the game by 30% and without oc - ing my gfx card.

I decided to replay witcher 1 and then start witcher 2 so probably by the time i finish ( exam sessionin full affect for me right now) the first game there will probably be another patch from cd projekt and that might increase performance even further, not counting the ati hotfix that's supposed to come out for witcher 2.

So all in all, i think my rig is handling the game very well.

If I'm not mistaken, such increase only happens because the lack of DRM and thus it's more noticeable in PCs with modest (aka low power) GPUs where the DRM takes a lot of resources.



Please excuse my bad English.

My laptop has an i7 740qm and a GT420m, all coupled with 6GB of RAM.

Judging by your results here, I ought to build a new desktop, THEN try TW2. Oh man.

Whoa, your build is almost identical to mine. I'm just curious, did you turn ubersampling off? I actaully just bought this computer, but I'm still waiting for one more piece.

Interestingly, nVidia cards seem to overperform in the game, while AMD cards seem to underperform based on other benchmarks I've seen for the cards. This isn't that odd though, as generally games are better optimized for nVidia, and less likely to experience graphical bugs and glitches which often occur specifically on ATI/AMD cards.
