Witcher 2 Performance

I am getting about 10-15 fps on my single GTX470 on everything ULTRA and resolution 1804x1004 (tv overscan issues so running resized res).

When i turn on SLI with both GTX470's, there is minimal improvement if any. I got from like 10-15 fps to like 15-20fps

Sys specs:

i7-930 @ 2.8

Im really dissapointed atm. I love the game so far but im getting 20-30 fps on high with uber turned off. Would of though I would of got a better performance from my pc.

and for those of us not using CF, on Nvidia GPUs that are well above the recommended, and of which the game is supposed to be optimized for, and are still getting horrid performance?

this is like dragon age 2s DX11 mode all over again. im sorry but there is just no excuse. you cant tell me the game left their office working fine on GTX400 series and above GPUs and suddenly works like **** retail.

considering the recommended is a GTX 260... i dont even see how this would be playable on the lowest settings on a GTX 260.

my only saving grace for this game is that im only about 75% through the first witcher game, and want to beat that first. this will hopefully give nvidia and the devs time to patch and get better drivers out there so the game isnt a miserable failure in the performance department.

[QUOTE="osan0"] crossfire isnt supported yet..AMD still have to make a profile. at the mo your 2 GPUs may be working against you. i dont use CF so i dont know how do this for that setup...but if you disable one of the GPUs you may get better performance. it should be supported in the next round of GPU drivers and CF profiles and all that good stuff.osan0

The 5870 is capable of running the game at 1080p high-ultra as I have been speaking to people with the card and they are getting 40-60 fps. I even spoke to someone with the same card as you who was running it nicely at 1080p high settings. Hopefully its going to be sorted fairly soon.

After turning off supersampling the game is pretty playable on my 5850, still what else can I turn off to make it totally smooth. Maybe turn down the objects that cast shadows?

[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"][QUOTE="osan0"] what res are you playing at? i can tell you that on my rig if i leave the ubersampeling off and put pretty much everything else to max settings then its fine at 1280X1024. i dont have a FPS figure but the game is very smooth and playable. i have heard from comments on the official site (but not from a dev) that nvidia are on it. the current drivers are not happy with the game for some reason. nothing solid though. also do keep your expectations in check. if your thinking your rig is good enough to play this at 1080P at max settings with a smooth framerate then think again. the GPU was not designed for that. its just a bit more powerful than my card and i know my card cant run this game at 1080P at max settings.i5750at4Ghz

Turns out I wasnt running the latest drivers :) ooooops. Getting 40-50 outside and upto 70 indoors now.

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"]

[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"] that would be true if i wasnt running an extremely overclocked GTX 460. stock GTX 460 yeah, not that great. overclocked like mine is? it performs on par with GTX 480s.... 900mhz core, 2300mem.... the game should not be running poorly at all, there is honestly no excuse. especially considering im running a 2500k at 4.6ghz and 8gigs of ram. there are plenty of resources for the game to consume there.Roland123_basic

ok i turned off uber sampling thing and i get like constant 30-35 fps on everything maxed out ultra on a single GPU, never even heard of uber sampling before, wth is that? hell of a system hogger.

They still need to fix the multi gpu scaling, im only gettin 50% gpu usage with sli turned on, which is why i have it off completey.

[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"][QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] I only have dual 460s and can run ultra at 40-60 frames ez. You just sound salty you can't max the game. What setting are you trying to run?i5750at4Ghz

Darnnn, you guys are getting 15-20 fps on GTX 480s, i guess me and my GTX 275 dont stand a chance ;( I will get the game regardless and play it when i get my GTX 570 8)Solid_Tango

It will run fine, just make sure you uninstall Nvidia 3DVision Drivers with control panel like I said on page 4 and have ubersampling turned off.

Is anyone else getting this weird glitch? Every time the area changes after a cutscene, geralt goes back to using this default curvy sword instead of the temerian sword i found, also, any enhancements i put on my raven armor disappear into thin air and the things i had equiped to my pockets return to the inventory

oh and my gauntlets dequip

Ugh, was worried about this given the state of the first game at launch. Downloading now, hope my 5850 can keep up. Any advice from other amd users? I turned off adaptive AA and set everything else to application controlled.

Now I'm worried that my 6850 won't be able to keep up

I get probably 45 fps on ultra settings without ubersampling or SSAO

Oh yeah my card is a slightly overclocked GTX 460.

-__- only low-med with a 5770? 30-40 fps isnt really all that fun. Going to have to upgrade, hopefully by the time I have enough money the witcher 2 will be down to $5 on steam :p

40-50 FPS w/o Ubersampling. Runs great so far, 2-3 hours into it and loving it. Great game so far, great improvement over the first!

RPG Graphics king as well

wow good thing i came across this thread, i mean i can't even put in my serial key, it's got the "small text" problem. but seeing that everyone else is having issues i'll just wait for a patch to fix all these activation/performance issues. damnit though, i was reallllly looking to pour the rest of my evening/night into this game.

edit: oh well, I guess it's time to watch the dev diary dvd :D and read the user manual XD

I'm using Phenom II x4 965 3.4Ghz, 4850 512mb, 4gb ram and well....at 1680x1050 even on lowest settings I was getting around 24-35fps, so I switched to my other screen 1280x1024 and now it's more playable 35-60fps.

GPU starting to show its age I guess.

well i had made a thread about my performance cause i forgot about this one.

anyway, i can run witcher at above 30 on all highs (no aa or vsynch) with a gtx 260 and an E8500 cpu. though for some reason, when i run the game on low, the frame rate is total garbadge. it runs better on the high settings. no idea how that could be tbh

I plan on getting this game in like a month. How do you think it will run on my system?

Core 2 Duo 6600@2.4GHz

2 gigs or ram

9800GT 1GB

Windows Vista 32-bit

I plan on building a new PC later this year, but I really don't want to have to wait til then to play this game.

P.S. I forgot to mention it will be running at 1920x1080.

Well, I played for an hour tonight and averaged about 40-50 fps on high settings at 1920x1080 with a 5850 1gb and 955 phenom II. Turned off ubersampling, SSAO, and motion-blur, everything else is on. Not as bad as I thought it would be, and it never dipped down below 30 fps even during heavy action.

Yup, Im getting a consistent mid 50's+ fps with everything on Ultra after turning off ubersampling. Must say though, at first I had ubersampling on and it brought me down to a chug, but simply turning that off added 30+ frames.

Using an i7 920@4.2 and just OC'd my 570 a bit more for performance. Must admit, one would expect it to run smoother I suppose.
