If you want a much better framerate on PC, then lower the shadow distance from high or ultra to medium. This is by far the heaviest option in the game, while the impact on image quality isn't that big. I got 30 fps in the city on high settings. After changing shadow distance to medium I now have a locked 60 fps everywhere. I even had spare power left to turn the godrays quality up from medium (the default for high settings) up to high.

@Utnayan: I think it depends on the difficulty. The Witcher 3's combat was a bit interesting on the highest difficulties. But on the default difficulty it was a complete borefest. The only thing you have to do on the default difficulty is use quen and swing your sword. If you can do those 2 things you can finish the game. And then to think you can even set the difficulty lower than the default.

On the higher difficulties the combat was more interesting, but still lacked any deep mechanics.

@prince__vlad: It looks ugly?? Man, what a joke. I would buy this game on graphics alone. It's looks THAT pretty. Gorgeous. The draw distances are really big, the textures nicely detailed, there are lots and lots of different plants and trees.

Gamersyde has a couple of really high-bitrate HD videos of this game. Check them out. Jaw-dropping.

@steamaddict: A MAJOR game reviewing site such as Gamespot very often receives final code of the game a few days in advance, so they can publish their review before launch. Since the game only takes four hours to complete, I bet they received the final code yesterday.

@the_master_race: February 16th 2016

@darksynced: The release date of the final version is February 16th 2016. This is in two days. Source
Is the concept of a major video game review site receiving final code a few days before the release day that confusing to you?

@sgtslayer117: At reduced settings you should have no problem hitting 60fps. You might have to set it (slightly) below console settings though. I'm not sure if your card is fast enough for a constant 60fps on console image quality. Depends on the optimization mainly.

@mikemurphy80: It's obvious to me someone here is trolling.

Black Ops 3 might have sold the most copies in 2015, but there are other games which grossed far higher. Take a look at the 2015 charts by revenue: Top grossing games of 2015

League of Legends for example had a 2015 revenue of $1628 mil. Other games like World of Warcraft, World of Tanks or GTA V also had much higher revenues.

@mikemurphy80: Releasing Direct X 12 for older Windows versions would result in having to rewrite the KERNEL of those older Windows versions. And that's just a big NO-NO. Kernels are only rewritten when releasing a NEW windows version. Cause a rewrite of a kernel can break compatibility with many programs. And if they are gonna release a new windows version, they might as well release Windows 10... uhhh.. they already did.

Please, please, please, THINK before posting.
