I think that good news, gtx 970 no OC - ultra + hbao+ 1080p - can hold 40 fps, it's nice results, interesting how it gonna work in lower settings and worse cards
With hairworks it's only 32-36 fps, anyway, not that bad
No it can't, Hairworks will be unplayable für anything below a titan x oder 2*970 according to this.
looking at this screenshot - isnt this simply another time of day!? - the only diffrence i see is that there is no sunset 
texture quality seems exactly the same..
well good to know we get the animated water back at least

I've got a GTX 970 and according to PCGH I should get a minimum of 40fps. If that's true I'm happy. Looks like version 1.02 is indeed pushing the PC harder than the preview version. And people with more expensive setups (GTX 980 or SLI) will be able to play at higher framerate and with Hair Works.
I watched a bit of the livestream of version 1.02 today and at parts it looks really awesome. Especially the changing weather effects. Can't wait until 1AM to play it a bit myself.

Where my post disappeared ? anyway here it is again.
Those guys know how to hit Nvidia hard
MSI GTX 970 Gaming/3,5+0,5G
And no mention of GTX 980 ?
Still it's good to see that it runs almost same on 290X and 970, good news for AMD users

There is a lot of differences. Time of the day is very similar - look at the shadows. The other thing is AO on foliage... draw distance, reduction of the fog. Contrast of the lights. They have changed the yellow tint somehow... reduced it a lot... or the yellow tint was tied with distance and fog... idk. But i'm very happy now .
Taking in consideration that we propably can mod it via xml files further... wow! it might be so good

Well, that's just how it is. It would be a bad benchmark if they listed a 3.5 GB card as having 4 GB of VRAM. I hope we will see CPU benchmarks soon.
Edit: About the GTX 980. They are still updating the benchmarks with new cards, so wait a bit and it should appear. The 980 is simply not popular in Germany so they are focusing on the cards that more of their users have.

Well, we can choose 3 types of hairworks - off / only geralt / on
I think hbao+ + only geralt hairworks gonna be playable on gtx970
