Predicted witcher 3 system specs? Can I run it .

[GosuPL]

Just a short question:
how many months before the game's release will the system requirements be known?
I mean, of course specially for TW3, but also in general

One/Two MAYBE Three.

I suspect we'll get the official system requirements along with a just-in-time preorder campaign, about a month before release. It would be nice (hint, hint) if we could get official requirements before Black Friday. But I'm not holding my breath for it.

The "actual" system requirements won't become available until public customers have had the game for a few days, or testers or beta customers are allowed to speak. These will be details like whether you can get away with a fast dual core or Core i3 if the official requirements specify a quad core, whether a card with a high ROP count beats a card with a high compute shader count, things like that.

And if you're running SLI or Crossfire, it may take longer to get the word out as to what profiles and configurations are well supported and stable.

I'm pretty confident that CDPR will optimize the game to run well on AMD cards also. Sure, Nvidia gets some more advanced physics (?) but I'm not too concerned about not being able to take full potential on those. I'm going to enjoy the game nonetheless.

Yup. I have no doubt that the game will run and look great on AMD cards as well

No news on this front I take it?

I am getting one of those fancy asus swift monitors as soon as they launch in north america. The g sync is simply too awesome an idea to pass up even if I haven't experienced it personally yet.

Then on my birthday it will be another 780ti for sli, heres hoping that will max EVERY setting in the game(minus ubersampling) with no fps drops below 60. I sort of doubt it will tbh, but hey, there is still hope.

Meh, here in Brazil gtx 780 coust almost the double of 770, I think I will pick 770
Also, 680 or 770, for what I read 770 it's a bit better and a bit cheaper
The prices of 770 wil reasonably low when they will launch the 800 series?
My expectatives are bad for this series, but if the prices low a lot I can even dream with a 780 (or 880, who knows)

I've bought the Gtx 760. Those damn import taxes make almost impossible to buy a decent vga without robbing a bank lol

If I get some more money until next year I will try to sell the 760 and buy a 780 or see if the new serie will be worth it. But I think I will end playing The Witcher 3 on the 760 (it's a very good vga, but a 770 or a 780 are better)

Don't worry bro ;-) Soon i wil buy second 780 Ti for SLI and this monsters for sure provide stable 60 fps with maxed out. I tested SLI 780 Ti for almost week, and OMG. Crysis MSAAx8 with all maxed, 60 fps stable. Metro LL SSAAx3 60 fps 99% time (SSAAx4 50-60 ) Tomb Rider SSAAX4 - 60 fps. So "Witcher 3" can do that to

Got my build up and running yesterday:

MB: Asus Z97-AR
CPU: Core i7 4790k with Corsair H100i (with Corsair SP120 static pressure fans)
GPU: GTX660 (won't upgrade it before spring)
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1866mhz
PSU: Corsair AX760
Case: Fractal Design R4
Hard drives: 256GB Crucial MX100 SSD & a couple of HDDs.

EDIT: And a Creative Sound Blaster Z soundcard/headphone amp which should arrive by mail tomorrow.

Loving it thus far. Cool & quiet. Ran Prime 95 for about an hour and the highest recorded CPU temp was 68C (and considering that it's summer, it's hot , I have no air conditioning and my room is like a sauna I think the temps are pretty cool )

The only 'problem' is that for some reason, my motherboard has trouble identifying my old 64GB Kingston V100 SSD drive. Sometimes it shows up while booting and sometimes it does not. Tried using both SATA Express and SATA 6Gb/s ports but the issue remains. Crucial works perfectly and so are my other HDDs no matter which SATA ports they're using so I assume it's some software related issue. I've yet to update my BIOS though..

But it's not really an issue since I'm planning on getting another 512GB MX100 once I get my pay and install all my games there and build a secondary PC using my old MB & CPU with the 64GB Kingston as a boot drive.

And my d*** is as long as a... oh sorry, wrong thread

I think people should buy only maxwell GPU's, they are more efficient than Kepler cores, with a high margin. Check some leaks about maxwell lately.
And they say that a GTX870 and 880 will have a decent price also. So if you want to buy wither a 770 or 780 for Witcher 3, just wait for x-mas and buy a maxwell card.

What's the expected price for the new flagship cards? 500$?

Don't know if you have already got it working but here's link which might help you out: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/281423-32-showing-computer
Googling "ssd not shown in my computer" or something like that gives tons of posts that have the same problem as you. Hope this helps

Like that, more or less.

 

[theLaughingStorm.108]

Really? 500$ flagship cards? Hmmm, that doesn't add up with the words of nvidias ceo, according to him prices are set to go UP not down.

http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilov/nvidia-average-selling-prices-of-graphics-cards-can-grow-further/

“As the production value of games continue to grow, I think we are going to see our ASPs grow,” said Jen-Hsun Huang during a conference call with financial analysts and investors. “So I would say that the dynamics of thePC gaming industry is really quite healthy, both in more and more players playing and ASPs increasing because of production value.”

I think if you are preparing for a 500$ flagship card you are setting yourself up for disappointment, and really, that is an unrealistic expectation, I am not sure what the 500$ price point is based on, but yeah.

 

[CalinTM]

I expect this prices. Also maxwell cores are stronger than kepler ones. And if 880 will OC massively just like 750 Ti, will be a win win for everyone. The cards whould be live, within the next month or 2 months. By feb when Witcher 3 launches, nvidia will have all maxwell cards, mainstream and high-end on the roll.

And the partnership between nvidia and CDPR, will probably optimize the game for maxwell cards even further.

Until nVidia can get volume production in 20nm, their costs are not going down, and they want to maintain their (enviable) gross profit margin to keep investors happy. So yeah. Maxwell will have a price-for-performance advantage, but probably not an advantage in absolute price.

But nVidia does market segmentation, and remember not to confuse the prices of hybrid and professional lines with enthusiast and gaming lines. The seemingly expensive Titans have capabilities needed only in professional cards (like fast double precision). These cards are actually a flaming bargain in their true market.

 

[BER7ERK]

Well, there wouldnt be a point in upgrading to a 870 or 880 if you have a 780 or 780 Ti. It still 28nm and the rumored performence jump wouldnt justify it.
And even with a card worse than 780 or 780Ti it probably wouldnt be wise to get one of those when 20nm cards will come next year, presumably.

Right I will buy second 780 Ti after 8xx relase, have hope 780 Ti prices go down slighlty.
