There's no way you will be able to run TW3 on max settings at 60 FPS or higher. You'll probably need 2 gtx 880 to run it smoothly. Especially when you consider that they are going to implement Nvidia Fur Tech.

Please avoid overstating the requirements, as that really doesn't help anyone. People are coming into this thread to find out if their system will run it, not to find out the best system you can buy. @hagverdy - the requirements haven't been given yet, but yes, that should run.nicely.
I'm not overstating nor am I trying to. Just stating the obvious when it comes to fur tech. If CDPR uses that tech to its fullest, than sli gtx 880 would be probably mandatory to run at 60 FPS or higher. Which is ok in my opinion (I like visually demanding games), and not every game needs to run smoothly on every PC rig.
I dnt think their gonna implement a full version of fur tech, its an open world and thers no need of full hair simulation for dozens of wolfs really... And these specs you recommend are wita a graphic card has not even released yet. I dnt know the requirements but believe me, one GTX780 will run the game just fine. Perhaps not on the most awesome graphics, with full eye candy, filters etc, but however, with almost all the highest settings i guess.
Just to be clear. I didn't say that someone will not be able to run the game with anything less then sli gtx 880. But if they implement fur tech anything near this level of fidelity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqQ3LeBgGDM&list=PLa23C9cgXXk0MczCBYTMu_4jVxvtWM335#t=20 then you will most probably need sli gtx 880 to run it smoothly at 60 FPS.
That is still only a guess, and we know nothing of any GTX 880. It's getting to the point where I'm convinced TW3 will be on the market before the real Maxwell cards are.
I take that back. There is a GTX 880m. But it is not a Maxwell chip; it is a renamed Kepler 780m. Bah.

I cannot bear that ahhh, the very thought!
My hope is....Nvidia's usual announcement time in around May.
Got an asus gtx 760 couple months ago thinking ill be ready for W3 at high settings but reading this thread i think im gonna wait until ill be able to afford something much stronger and that probably wont be soon
also from what i see that fur physx is going to need a dedicated physx card to run well also i supose 4670k at 4.4 ghz will be fine cpu wise i also bought 120 gb ssd.

I repeat myself, in any case i think they will put a full hair simulation on an open wolrd game like that, Is a huge game and heavy in terms of graphics demanding but a 5GFlops card like the GTX 780 would be OK for most of the highests settings. If is not, that means the game has launched after the maxwell series and they didnt take any care of optimization, relying on the new vgas and wallets of their customers. But honestly i dnt think it will be the case.
For me is mandatory that a GTX 780 should be capable of run this game beautifully...and again if is not, well, then ill get ownd for real.

So far as announcements like "I think the game will need at least a GTX 780" are nothing more than your own belief and you make them without anyone intending to take them seriously enough to act on them, go ahead, it's not my money nor anybody else's but your own that you're spending.
But there's a harmful bandwagon effect at work here, and that comes about when posts like that serve to convince people who don't know better and don't have money to burn that they can't run the game without spending hundreds of dollars on upgrades, or persuade people to spend hundreds of dollars for hardware you do not know they need or give up on the game and not consider buying it. That's a huge disservice to other members of the forum and any guests who come in and read your posts.
So, before I have to ask as a moderator, I'm going to ask politely one more time. Don't try to convince anybody that you know any facts about what the system requirements for the game will be, and in particular don't try to convince anyone that they must have big iron to play this game.

I feel like I'm being called out by this post.
Again, I have to say, to be clear, that I didn't say that TW3 will not be playable with anything less than sli gtx 780/880. TW3 will be most certainly playable with any PC rig out there (at appropriate settings level). I'm confident that the guys at CDPR will make TW3 scale beautifully.
When you consider TW2 - that game had an excellent scaling capability (it even ran on a 200$, 2 year old notebook). But when I set everything on max settings 1080p with gtx 770 and i5-2500k @ 4.5GHz i still get an average FPS of 44 (min 22 max 58 FPS). My point in previous posts was that if and i say IF the guys at CDPR implement graphical fidelity as presented in the TW3 - VGX Trailer then to run the game at max settings you will need a monster of a PC (probably sli gtx 880 or 780 if you more like that). And again to be clear, if the devs implement the most demanding visuals you will still be able to play the game on lower settings (for example: low, mid or high) and it will still probably look good.
Now, regarding my knowledge or lack of it concerning system requirements, I'm not stating that I know for a fact what the system requirements for the game will be. Those were my informed opinions based on what is out there regarding information about fur tech.
And anyone with half a brain knows that the more demanding the visuals are the more money you have to throw at your computer to run it.

Is making assumptions not unavoidable at some point though? This topic was made about 9 months ago and since then there has not been any information. We are still grasping at straws here, so one can assume that everybody is just stating their opinion without proof of any kind.
Making assumptions is certainly unavoidable, but the assumptions we have to make put our statements in the character of, at best, wild guesses. Harping on clearly exaggerated claims in a manner intended to cause naive readers to take them as fact is a very different thing from couching our guesses in language that makes it clear they are nothing more.
I think we're all making assumptions, even Guy, and that isn't really the problem. The problem is when someone comes in with a decent configuration, asks if they can run it, and is simply told no. As Guy said, this isn't good for either the players or CDPR - it may cause some people not to buy the game, or to spend money unnecessarily. Not just the person who asked, but also anyone else who just reads the thread without posting, or picks up on it in a Google search without seeing Tommy's opening post. Many people posting in this thread are using the info to make purchase decisions, either for their PC or for the game itself.
If people want to speculate about how much better a certain configuration might be, or what the absolute best setup will be, fine, but not here, not in THIS thread.

I would very much appreciate if you would stop misrepresenting and twisting my words. I repeat again, I said that he will not run it on max settings at 60 FPS or more, which is very different from saying that he will not run it at all.
We need to keep in mind that Cd-Project Red don't have much better gear than gtx 780 or titan (or amd equivalent) to test the game on and make it run on. So if you have a 700 series you don't need to worry. Also the last we heard they are aiming for a wide range of specs and were running the game on the gtx 600 series. Here is the source on this http://youtu.be/sTkSGmLA1qM it is in the start of the interview. ALSO ALL OF THIS WAS UNOPTIMIZED. So chill out and start saving a bit of Cash if you worry to much about your rig being able to run it, the game won't be out for another year.
Considering that the game is now officially a year away, I would say that upgrading for TW3 is a fairly useless activity at the moment. A lot happens (especially with videocards) and in a years time we will probably have Maxwell and Intel their new series and socket (AMD too ofcourse). Just my opinion/speculation but anyone considering upgrading for TW3 should really wait and see.
Totally agree, definetely im going to wait maxwell to upgrade for TW3. Pointless post in here until late late 2014. Or until we have specifications and release date of Maxwell\Pirate Islands.
