Today I installed Witcher 2 enhanced edition and I am getting on my rig: Gainward GTX 780 GLH, i7 930@2,8GHz, 6GB ram 1600MHz with everything on with ubersampling with v-sync off about 47fps average.Min. 35, max. 61 I hope it will be enough to play Witcher 3 on max settings without v-sync on 1920x1080.I really hope it will be very similar demanding on hardware.

I hope that's the case because the system requirements for Watch Dogs came out already and by what i say i can play Watch Dogs on Ultra.
Why? PhysX is the best low level physics engine available for games today. It's almost guaranteed that the Witcher 3 will be using PhysX for the wind effects (and for everything else), unless the effects are pre-baked which seems very unlikely..
I just hope that the wind system is not PhysX based.
PhysX runs on both the CPU and the GPU. The wind effects will likely use the CPU, and since the Witcher 3 will be using PhysX 3.x SDK, the CPU performance should be much greater than previous SDKs..
For more advanced effects like hair, cloth, fluid and fur, there will likely be an option to run the PhysX on either the CPU or GPU. If you use the CPU, the effects will have to be curtailed somewhat as the CPU is less powerful. Full blown physics will likely require GPU acceleration, judging by past PhysX titles.. It's possible that some of these effects could use DirectCompute though according to statements made by devs..
That CPU is bottlenecking your GTX 780 big time. You should be getting much higher performance from that card.. If you feel comfortable doing it, I would try overclocking if I were you. Most 930s will easily do 4ghz with good air cooling.

I watched some videos with gtx 780 in witcher 2 and people had same fps like me.I tried now MSI Afterburner and GPU usage was between 95% and 99%.Most time was on 99% so I dont think that my CPU bottlenecking my GPU.

The only way I can see those numbers being right is if ubersampling is turned on, but you said you had it off right? It has to be turned on if you're getting that kind of performance..
Anyway, a stock 930 is going to bottleneck that GTX 780 in most cases, with a few exceptions like running extremely GPU bound settings like ubersampling. aka SSAA..
I can barely play well on max settings of all these game: Metro Last Light, Tomb Raider reboot, Battlefield 4, The Witcher 2 with all graphic mods (grass, sweet FX, better texture improvement, etc), Skyrim with all graphic mods, and more game (it can run over 30 fps, with me that I don't find any problems with those 30 fps for sure because I am glad that I can play those games). I hope that The Witcher 3 will not get over Nvidia GTX 660 or 660Ti.
Here is my computer system:
Wins 7 64bit Ultimate
Intel Xeon 1230 v2 3,30ghz (8 CPUs)
Ram 16gb
HDD 1TB
EVGA Nvidia 660Ti 2gb SC edition.

Are you kidding meI hope in the same thing with GTX 780 GLH
) GTX 780 is a monster to me ) I wish I could effort one Yes its a great graphics card.Metro: Last Light I play on max settings with SSAA set to 2x and I have 40-60 FPS (average about 50 fps).
450 euros vga...and plays metro for x2? really? what are those developers thinking?
I'm sure that will not be a third Witcher is more demanding than the crisis 3.
By this I think that in a complete enough: i5, 8gb RAM, GF660Ti

Same, coming from a guy with GTX 560Ti.Are you kidding me
Its playable on SSAA set to 3x( max is 4x) but then I have average FPS about 40 and sometimes there are drops for example to 34.
Well, from what i can see in the gif, if u can run skyrim 1080p max with Enbs like 'K enb' or 'Lut Sepia Somber' you are good to go Ultra/very high for witcher 3
Skyrim runs easily everything maxed out. But Skyrim is not that demanding. But i have no mods.
