I will not buy a Witcher 3 because...

If you want to blame anyone blame autodesk. Last four or five 3d max builds come with physx engine instead of havok and its easier to create every thing in 3d max-maya and retouch in game engine than createing complex and inseparable things separately.

There will be a tremendous performance hit for AMD users.

Then I will get an Nvidia card. The hardware exists to serve my gaming needs, not games to suit my hardware needs. Sell one, buy another.

I do this, if I do this, (have I ever done this...hmmm, I don't think I've needed to, yet. Oh, wait..yes, but I gave the other card to my brother in law), only when a major game comes out and only if it looks like a severe loss or graphic problem is an issue.

I doubt the AMD hit, if any, will be worse than 10% or so, since CDPR will have an interest in you having a smooth, fun, gameplay experience. Will you get as high as some other card by some other company? I have no idea. Will it play smoothly is a more pertinent question and, frankly, if you are pushing your card limits, no it probably won't. No matter the card you run.

......for what?

================================================

Let's clear up a few things...

It will run on the CPU not the GPU irrespective of what card you have only GPU accelerated physx effects will need a nvidia GPU(even the Wolf fur is DirectCompute NOT CUDA). The new Physx SDK the one which TW3 will use further has SIMD optimizations.

Go buy a PS4 or XBONE and stop crying friend ; )

I would start crying having to buy a console to play TW3. Console can never be an alternative to a PC. For that, the experience is too different.

I heard that everything is working on AMD GPU's in this moment and it depends on decision of Nvidia if it will work in the future.

That's like saying, "I'm not going to buy BF4 since it caters to mantle."
