Static-Jak, your CPU is still faster than the min required AMD CPU Phenom II X4 940. My guess is that all all i5 since the 2000 series will run the game fine. But only benchmarks can really give an answer.
mostly wont be a problem although i suggest waiting for benchmarksMy 970 has never been my concern, it's my i5-2500 (non K) I worry won't be able to keep up.
I was considering upgrading but at this point I want to hold off till the Skylake Intel CPUs come out.
All I really want to know is what my set up can do at 60FPS.
After that, I can worry about maxing it out a year or two from now when I do my second playthrough with all the DLC out.
Hopefully we see benchmarks soon. I'd like to dive into this game without too much fiddling with the settings.mostly wont be a problem although i suggest waiting for benchmarks
Hi guys just saw this on Geforce website, and I am very happy with my 970. I'll try hairworks and lower some settings if it is really beautiful and use my dedicated Physx card

Also a little bit weird what Nvida saying:
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s May 18th release is tantalizingly close. On PC, the experience will be enhanced with higher-resolution textures, higher-quality effects, higher levels of detail, uncapped framerates, and many other enhancements. And like the latest and greatest PC games, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is further enhanced with NVIDIA technologies and GameWorks effects that increase immersion and image quality throughout the 100-hour action RPG.
Higer-resolution textures?? They were the same as console, right?.
Also the difference between SSAO en HBAO+ is big.

i wouldnt trust nvidia with the system specs. Always trying to sell their top end hardware. the system requirements for all nvidia partnered games like AC unity , shadow of mordor were insanely high , gtx 680 ,770 etc while my 860m can do high ultra in dragon age inqui(no msaa and ultra textures , meshes FX) and ac unity (with fxaa and hbao+) at 30/30+ FPSis that with 60 fps, also i'm wondering I wonder much would it dip down if I was using a 970 and I used gameworks
plus it mostly will improve with the latest drivers +patch
should be more worried for amd hardware though

PS- they say it is an old build which they tested on , so mostly better performance

my friend is worried he won't be able to play on high with a 770 4gb I bassicly told him not to worry loli wouldnt trust nvidia with the system specs.

cheers for you mate , nvidia said that this was not a cpu intensive gameHopefully we see benchmarks soon. I'd like to dive into this game without too much fiddling with the settings.
Good. Hopefully CDPR has taken the time to properly optimize this. Skyrim for example can still run like shite due memory issues, and not being optimized for modern 4-6 core CPUs.nvidia said that this was not a cpu intensive game
which is weird considering how much I hear how busy the towns will be and various aspects such as tree's blowing in the wind of the draw distance I would assume would be intensive on the CPU seeing as that is what I usually assume taxes itcheers for you mate , nvidia said that this was not a cpu intensive game
show him this ( the 779 is almost the same as the 960)my friend is worried he won't be able to play on high with a 770 4gb I bassicly told him not to worry lol

true , but look at AC unity though unoptimized 1000s on npcs revolting and it takes around 40% of my cpu (i7 4710 @ 2.4 - a mobile cpu)which is weird considering how much I hear how busy the towns will be and various aspects such as tree's blowing in the wind of the draw distance I would assume would be intensive on the CPU seeing as that is what I usually assume taxes it
also i have the 2500k , trust me it holds out well.
the physix is CPU because of consoles having APU
---------- Updated at 01:13 PM ----------
You can force it through the NVCP, also 8xmsaa on all those grasses....a nightmareCan't wait to see how this game actually looks like on ultra settings especially compared to PS4 and XB1.
---------- Updated at 01:03 PM ----------
Also...I can't believe that the developer who was until recently only PC centered would include only AA options as on/off.
Hmm, so according to http://international.download.nvidia.com/webassets/en_US/shared/images/products/shared/lineup-full.png
My 670 is just short of a 960, but have to take into account the better tessellation performance the 900 series has, and then take into account the better processor and DDR4 RAM Nvidia have used in the results too. (compared to my 8GB DDR3 RAM and 2500k CPU).
I find myself in a difficult position. Do i stick it out with the 670 for a while longer, or sell it while it still sells well and buy a 970 which will last me around 2.5 - 3 years like my 670 has.
I really am tempted by the 970, its DX12 ready, will last a good few years and is very quiet which i like.

well if you buy the 970/980 right now they have a deal where you get the witcher 3/batman arkham knight as a code, sooo yeah I felt like shooting myself in the foot seeing as I bought my 970 like 3 months ago before this

here you go
Yeah, saw the bundle a bit ago, but already have W3 preordered on Steam.well if you buy the 970/980 right now they have a deal where you get the witcher 3/batman arkham knight as a code, sooo yeah I felt like shooting myself in the foot seeing as I bought my 970 like 3 months ago before this

here you go
But i could sell the 2 free games + my 670 for a good amount which will lower the price on the 970...... so tempting
trust me i build pcs as a hobby, and you wont find a difference between 1333mhz CL9 ddr3 with a 2400mhz cl7 ddr3 or a 3200mhz cl ddr4 IN GAMING( 3D rendering is entirely different)Hmm, so according to http://international.download.nvidia.com/webassets/en_US/shared/images/products/shared/lineup-full.png

also the latency of ddr4 is high , so high end ddr3 is usually cheaper and give simlar/better performance
CPUs - you dont need i7 , although 6 cores give best performance currently , scaling is bad above 6 cores nowadays.Also the performance difference between 4 cores and 6 cores isnt much as most 4 core i5s are not being pushed to the max
note that this is purely speculation and this is based on games which are currently in the market. For concrete evidence i suggest waiting for benchmarks
---------- Updated at 01:57 PM ----------
about the tessellation - havent they reduced/removed it in w3
also about the 670 , stick with it at least till you get a glimpse at amd 3xx series which offers a lot of features (esp for 4k due to HBM) .if you can wait till 2016 or are a nvidia fan , the pascal architecture offering the same advantages as amd 3xx is going to be released soon

I have, had the same concern as you, but I managed to OC it from 3,3 to 3,7 on the Bios,(only modifiying the Multplier and not the K version, as you have) not much Temp change, and if you see, the new i5, series that are High end, are i5 4670 that is from 3,4 to 3,8 , and the 4690 that is from 3,5 to 3,9, there is almost not much change, I say to you to do the same simple orveclock, our CPU are still tier 1 on gaming, and we should wait till skylake or the next yearMy 970 has never been my concern, it's my i5-2500 (non K) I worry won't be able to keep up.

After that, I can worry about maxing it out a year or two from now when I do my second playthrough with all the DLC out.
also, the specs for CPU don`t seems to be very Realistic

i will not agree on this one.trust me i build pcs as a hobby, and you wont find a difference between 1333mhz CL9 ddr3 with a 2400mhz cl7 ddr3 or a 3200mhz cl ddr4 IN GAMING( 3D rendering is entirely different)
According to this article (google translate it): http://www.purepc.pl/pamieci_ram/jakie_pamieci_ram_wybrac_test_ddr3_13332400_mhz_w_grach
you can get a 7-20% boost in fps (depending on game, game settings, CPU architecture).
Generally, if you play without any AntiAliasing, then quality ram helps to achieve higher frames
It might not be much, but good RAM isn't expensive. Especially, when we compare its price to a new CPU or GPU.

Everywhere I see are reports regarding nVidia cards, but sadly, I made a mistake some time ago and got myself an AMD R9 280. Any idea how it would do ? Except that, I have i5-4690k and 16GB ram.
EDIT: Just for clarification, I know pretty much nothing about PC hardware, and I have no idea if my card comares to which nVidia card. All I know is that buying that AMD wasn't a good idea, or so I was told by people who know much better than me <.<
