Here are mine:
Playing @1080p
Phenom II X4
HD 7950
8GB 1300

I think I'm still good with my current spec. Though my proc is outdated I don't think TW3 will be CPU intensive. Multiplayer games are the ones I know that are demanding on the CPU side. I don't care dialing down some settings. Some settings are not really worth the performance impact like SuperSampling AA etc.

Hi guys, do you think that I'll be able to play Witcher 3 (at least medium detail at resolution 1920x1080) on the MSI GX70 gaming notebook?
CPU: AMD Quad Core A10-5750M Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8970M GDDR5 2GB
RAM: 12GB

I can play The Witcher 2 with usually 60-80+ frames 1920x1080 on everything maxed other than uber-sampling which is off (its overkill AA anyway, not necessary).

Radeon 5970 2gb
Windows 7 64bit
8GB ram (1600mhz)
i7-2600k 3.8ghz
SSD 250gig

Unless the witcher 3 uses physx I doubt I'll have any major issues running it on max with at least 40 frames. The visuals don't look very different than the witcher 2 so I'm not expecting any problems other than maybe physx if they decide to use it. (usually there's options to turn physx enhancements off in games that use it)

A build that I am considering

CPU - Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor $349.00 Canada Computers
CPU Cooler - Corsair A70 61.0 CFM CPU Cooler $29.99 Memory Express
Motherboard - Asus P8Z77-V LX ATX LGA1155 Motherboard $122.85 Newegg Canada
Memory - G.Skill Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB ) DDR3-1600 Memory $161.99 Amazon Canada
Video Card - Asus GeForce GTX 780 3GB Video Card $554.99 Memory Express
Case - Antec Eleven Hundred ATX Full Tower Case $94.98 Newegg Canada
Case Fan - Arctic Cooling Arctic F12 74.0 CFM 120mm Fan $18.34 TigerDirect Canada
Power Supply - Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $104.98 Newegg Canada
Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro - OEM (64-bit) $149.46 DirectCanada

I know the GPU and CPU are overkill for TW3, but I want a little future proofing. I'm a noob at this and I've only verified compatibility with one website. What do people think?

Note that the prices are Canadian dollars. Also, I already have an SSD hard disk, and an optical drive.

The CPU is a generation behind: 3770K is Ivy Bridge. Haswell is faster and lower in power. Neither is "future proof", because Intel's next generation will not be compatible with current motherboards. So you will be locked into the CPU and motherboard.

For Ivy Bridge (LGA 1155 socket), I like the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 motherboard better. (I have the Core i7 2600K (Sandy Bridge) and ASRock Z77 Extreme 6.) If you want ASUS, get the P8Z77-V or P8Z77-V Pro; they have better (Intel) NICs. MSI Z77A-GD65 is another very good motherboard.

You really don't need the 3x memory kit. Triple-banked memory was a short-lived design on the early "Nehalem" processors. It's inefficient (and more expensive than 2x8GB ) on anything more recent. Get 2x4GB and save a lot of money.

Guy N'wah, please what do you think about my laptop? (posted above)
Do you think it'll be enough?

I am no Guy, but I think it should be enough for at least medium settings, that mobile card will perform nearly as well as a desktop 7870 ( about 10-15% slower).

Disclaimer: We don't really know. Hardware specs haven't been released, and we don't know what resources the game is most dependent on.

But given all that, if anybody's setup can play at maximum settings, yours can.

I really hope that TW3 will be well optimized. I hate the texture and FPS inconsistencies in TW2 due to DX9.

Hi I think like others, you'll run it probably at medium settings but it might be hard for your laptop especially for the heat

The video card should be powerful enough to run the game on High, however that processor will gimp it badly, so you will have to play on Medium probably. AMD is so far behind compared to Intel in the laptop department and this makes the GX series an unbalanced system...

I think it's safer to buy an 8 core FX than a 2/4 cores intel. If it's an I7, then yes, intel i7 worths, but i5 don't.

PS4 and Xbox One have 8 core processors, they will use at least 6 at full capacity for gaming, in some point maybe 1/2 years. The new consoles odn't have 8 cores for nothing, they have it for a good reason and they will use it as ever did using the full potential of they hardware.

So and AMD FX is betther than a intel i5. Because of the number of cores/threads 8 vs 4, but also the AMD is the same tech as the improved bobcat cores of the PS4 APU. Yes FX chips are different, but at the same time the technology is the same, only a few things are different and most of them are in the TDP watts and internal gpu. The rest is an amd chip with similar technology so this an advantage over Intel.

So a FX 8350 is 4 ghz 8 cores CPU. PS4 is a 8 core cpu with 1.6 ghz. With a little OC the FX is right now 3 times the PS4 CPU.

Keep in mind though that 4 very powerful cores can perform similar if not better than 8 decent cores. Also it is anybodies guess if pc games in general will make timely and proper use of so many cores. There are still far too many games that do not utulize more than 2.

Even I5 performs better than AMD FX, if you're going to buy a CPU for gaming than 8 cores will not make any difference since the game will not take advantage of the 8 cores also Intel architecture is way better than AMD's so the higher core clocks is misleading, Intel have lower clocks but the faster cores and architecture will provide better performance.

AMD are not crap, they're are still solid for budgets builds and the in game performance between AMD and Intel is usually very minor, Intel I5 and I7 are however faster.

FX can outperform Core i5 and even Core i7 on carefully threaded applications like Maxon Cinema. But games are not anything of the kind and will not be in any future near enough to justify a purchase.

On price-performance, FX seems to have an advantage. But you can't run a CPU alone; you need RAM (lots of it, nowadays) and a compatible motherboard. AMD's price-performance advantage is eaten up by the miserable state of the AM3+ motherboard market and its poor support of fast RAM.

Where AMD's real advantage is, is on the A-series vs. Core i3 in budget builds where you can't justify $350-400 or more for the combination of motherboard and CPU. Availability of motherboards for Socket FM2 and FM2+ is much better than it is for AM3+, the on-chip graphics blows the magic smoke off anything from Intel, and with Windows 8.1, you can squeeze enough performance out of "dual graphics" setups (like A8-5600K + HD 6670) to play Witcher 2 solidly.

Yeah i know i maybe should have been clearer that i was talking about game performance mainly since we're in a gaming forum and even if AMD FX is cheaper it's not by enough so i could justify buying it over a I5 4670k for example, i also avoid to talk about builds for max 400$ unless someone specify it because it's lower than i personally would want to go.
But it's the way the cpu market works now, Intel have the performance enthusiast market and AMD budget market, shame since i would want Intel to get some competition.

Yeah, we're just saying the same thing using different words. Sorry if it looks like I overlooked what you wrote.

The way I work the support threads is by trying to do as much as I can for people who think they can't afford a new PC or an upgrade strong enough to play the game. Knowing what does an acceptable job for a $400 budget or even less is actually more important to me than knowing what it takes to run the game at maximum settings.
