If you're not sure whether or not your computer can run the game well enough, then wait until some benchmarks start popping up over the next 2 weeks.
That will give you a clear idea where you stand.

I have the same gpu as you. If you don't mind - what were you able to push your core / memory clocks to? I was only able to stabilize at +110 on the core and +200 on the memory. @ +16 mV (any more volts and it crashes).
So ~1502 core / 3700 memory clocks.
I didn't win the Gpu lottery, but it's not too bad.
To answer your question - I'm hedging bets that you can pop quite a few Ultra settings on. Perhaps not all, but many.

Andrew Burnes, an NVidia employee who writes the Geforce optimization guides confirmed that the SLI profile for the Witcher 3 is very good, with almost perfect scaling 
He also said the game isn't CPU intensive, which kind of surprised me because I was expecting it was going to be due to all of the physics and the high level of detail. Then again, he was using an Intel 5960x which is an eight core monster so he may be looking at it somewhat myopically..
I guess we'll find out on Monday (at least for some of us)

Can i Run It?
Well i haven't seen a sticky for this so i decided to post it here.
i have
Geforce GTX 770
Core i7 930 2.8ghz (a bit old i know)
6GB DDR3 1622mhz
now im going to do a Format & dust cleaning + installing all the latest Drivers.
the only thing i will have in the computer is The Witcher 3 on my SSD drive.
so my question is will i be able to run it on High? (not ultra) in 1920/1080 res.
(note: i was able to play GTA V on ultra with no lags at all)

Since you meet the recommended specs (except for the RAM, which would be 8Gb-s), it's safe to say that you will be able to play it on High with 1080p. Maybe you won't get a solid 60 fps, but I think you will still be well above 30 fps.
yeah well the GTX 770 have a 2 GB ram dunno if that helps, and beside it will be a fresh Format which will clear allot of garbage from the memory, i hope it will make it smoother i know it helped me in the past run games allot faster.
I think it will run on mid-high mixed settings (without haiworks and crazy msaa levels)
GTA5 on Ultra with 6GB RAM ? Settings ? I have the same card (Settings: 1080p / x4 MSAA, everything ultra except gras quality, population variety, extended distance settings and high resolution shadows) and i have 35-55 FPS. I wouldnt call it lag free but good playable. With 8GB i have many crashes, upgraded to 16GB and no crashes anymore. Btw.i would suggest to upgrade your ram !

I'm sporting an Intel Core i5-2500 quad core @3.30 GHz, 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 560Ti. It seems to be below the "minimum" specs but even so I usually managed to get games running with this rig at medium settings at least. Anyone know if I'll be able to do this in TW3 at all as well?
Not sure about the 560Ti yet. It's a generation earlier than the "minimum" card. But the evidence now is that a minimum CPU and a recommended card will get you much of Ultra settings at some playable frame rate, so backing off the settings and maybe backing off the resolution should get the game playable for you. 1GB 560's may be handicapped by a limited texture budget; 2GB would be a lot more favorable.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. Time to upgrade the GPU then
About CPU Usage
The German mag "PCGamesHardware" published a teaser for their test of the PC version, which will come next week.
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/The-Witcher-3-PC-237266/Specials/Technik-Test-1158845/
- Performance is good on an i7 even when downclocked to 2GHz and without HT
- Ultra details @ 1080p are playable with a GTX 770 / R9 280X (AMD card perform well)
- 2GB VRAM are enough for 1080p

Don't move too fast. I have a setup with a 560Ti 448 and will be reporting on it, probably the same day the game is unlocked.
Can I run Witcher 3?
Hello!
I just pre-loaded The Witcher 3 and I am very afraid that the game won't run very well on my rig. Upgraded it last year and only planning to upgrade it more next year. Some advice on how it will run will be appreciated!
CPU: AMD FX 8320 3.5ghz (stock)
Card: Gigabyte AMD R9 270x 2GB Windforce 3
Ram: 16gb DDR3 1600mhz.
Case: Cooltek with 4 120mm Fans in it.
Will I be able to run the game smooth on full HD 1080 at like medium to high settings?
I'm guessing since i dont use Intel and Nvidia, the moderators don't even look at my post. Sigh....
