Who cares really the price won't go down till the TW3 release and AMD probably wont release their new GPUs till then. And they are buying the 980 the best GPU on the market now who cares about the games specs if the 980 can't run the game decently then nothing will. If i'm wrong please enlighten me.You should wait instead.. everyone here is upgrading (or act like that) WITHOUT in fact knowing what for at all :troll:
CDPR is PC first? Refreshing to see devs put PC first?. CDPR did not mention this at all. They mentioned all platform will be treated equally. If they stand by what they said, PC platform has to worry. Which means it's exact same as the lower specs as consoles. Even the UI are the exact same. No they are not PC first anymore. In fact, sales on consoles version may have surpassed PC version. It's up to CDPR to reveal the sales figure after TW3 released.
@archav3n
Like they are going to release a public statement that they are PC first ? seriously ?
The way they are using all that tech in their engine is a proof that they want their game to be a graphical treat which is only possible on PCs no offense. It will be a suicide for them not to live up to the expectations after all this hype (this is not watch dogs).
Of course they will try to give console owners as much closer experience as possible but have you seen any feature getting removed because it's not working on consoles ? the watch dogs reveal video was quite different than what was shown near release while in the case of TW3 it's the same as it was shown in start, in fact it's getting better in every video. Mostly like every available feature that was show cased on PC will work on console but at a lower resolution and 30 fps frame rate as mentioned in many rumors, 900p@30 PS4 and 720p@30 XB1.
Finally their commitment with PC is as clear as ever, otherwise who release a mega AAA title without DRM these days ?

Not only that but I have two TW2 saves, one iorveth one roche, from a neutral TW1 import.
Needless to say, I'm about as ready as you can get lol.
That's exactly what I did. I'm still limping along with a Fermi 470 and I'll be upgrading to a 980 (possibly 2 for 4K) for TW3.By the time TW3 comes out Maxwell will most likely be out as well. Why don't you wait a bit and decide when it's time?
I am also eyeballing the GTX 770 (I like the number 7!) but perhaps an 870 will be a better choice. Judging by this semilogarithmic performance plot, Nvidia seems to be drastically improving their performance/watt ratio.

Since we know it's not cross-gen, that gives us some insight into the reqs. Some.
I know that, but 2 980s is a monsterous amount of video power.
i want to upgrade my graphic card in order to be able to play the witcher 3
this are my specs
AMD FX 6100 six-core processor 3.30GHz
AMD Radeon HD 6670 graphic card
8gb ram
Win 7-64 Bit
1366x720
i was thinking about getting a AMD Radeon R7 260x since it seems afordable, but will i be able to run the game with that card? also there is any other option? my budget is no more than $250

I recently bought two Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 cards, so I'm selling my old Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB cards for 275 each. So if you're interested, PM me. U.S residents only though.. If you buy both, I'll discount them to 250..

Why are you getting R7 260X if your budget is 250$ ? For that price you can can easily get a custom cooler R9 285 which is a tad bit slower than R9 280X but a whole lot faster than R7 260X. Additionally it's based on new GCN Tonga Pro architecture thus consume less power and produce less heat. Here

But personally I suggest you should wait a bit, AMD is going to announce something pretty soon and if it's a new GPU announcement then maybe you'll get something better or the prices of current GPUs will drop.
If that is what they are going to do after 30th anniversary then it will be quite disappointing, any sources ?

Eh?
285X perhaps, but R9 285 has been out for a long time now that's not new, their announcement today was AMD's newest GPUs for India. It was an AMD India tweet anyway, it just got confused by a tweet by another AMD employee so everyone thought they were announcing a new GPU.

I held off to see if AMD had an answer today. Roy Taylor made some tweets and those tweets certainly looked like he was talking up a release. He even said we have a response on the 25. AMD needs to get rid of Roy. He always runs his mouth. I can't stand the guy............
So, it is now 2 GTX970's in SLI on a ROG SWIFT 1440p G-Sync monitor for my Witcher 3 multiple play throughs. First time w/g-sync second time in 3d.
I will test using a 750ti and a 660ti as PHYSX only card and post the results.

That combined with Shadow of Mordor needing 6gbs of VRAM for ultra textures makes me seriously question the current 970/980's. Maybe Nvidia has been far too stingy when it comes to VRAM.
Shadow of Mordor also has an outrageously high VRAM requirement for ultra textures @ 6GB..
I really wonder whether this will be the new trend for current gen only games?. With 4GB being the new standard and 6GB being the new ultra, which means you will really need between 6GB and 8GB of VRAM to run the highest quality textures. With the massive memory boost afforded by the PS4 and Xbox One, devs are starting to unshackle themselves from the low quality textures that plagued the last gen games..
If I knew for certain that the Witcher 3 required 6GB of VRAM for ultra textures, then I would definitely return my GTX 970s while there is still time and wait for the 8GB versions..

6 gigs!? What!? Poly count and texture sizes must me insane. Reminds me of some Skyrim modders making eye textures 2048*2048... you'd need to have only the eyeball in view to actually see all the detail which is quite ridiculous.
I've seen ultra quality gameplay of Shadow of Mordor, and the textures definitely don't look like they need 6GB of VRAM. Ultra quality textures. Of course YouTube is just about the worst way to judge texture quality:
