The Witcher 2 lots of lag

I'm running this game on medium setting and 1280x1024 resolution. Default was 1920*1080 and the lag is still there. Tried to lower the setting to absolute minimum with both default resolution and the resolution I now use. The lag is still there.

Any fix for this?

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k
RAM: 8 GB RAM
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 9600GT
(Haven't yet upgraded my gpu)

My HDD still got over 500 GB free space. 1 TB HDD.

Weird is, I can run most of the newer games from medium to actually, ultra good enough with small to no lag. oO Even BF3 on medium and default settings there.

The game is retail and patchet do the very latest version: 2.1

Also: Ubersampling is off.

The card is definitely the problem here . Regardless of game you`re playing Witcher 2 will stress your card like no other that i know of except maybe Metro 2033 .

You might try a resolution of 1280 X 720 to see if the lag improves any .

Still a bit lag. Oh well, gotta get my lazy butt of the chair and buy a couple of GTX 560ti then.

Thanks for your help. But I still meet the minimum requirement. Anyway, thanks.

Lowering res is the sure fire way to improve performance. You can still get a good looking game by bringing the res WAY down but then enabling all the eye candy features.

Read The Witcher 2 Tweak Guide. I have a Nvidia GT 520, and it helped me out a lot.

There's also some helpful information in this thread.
