There are different versions of the 860M, one with an older Kepler gpu and one with a Maxwell gpu; they both perform similarly though. It's in fact not too far away from the PS4 GPU, but slower.
Want to buy PC version, but have a question.
Hello everyone,
This will probably be a very annoying question, but I've searched on google, and found the answer lacking
.
Basically, I would like to know if there is any information about the way the game runs on PC? I definitely do not have the best system out there:
Intel 3570K
GTX670
16GB RAM
Would this system be able to run it at the level of a Playstation 4? I don't mind running it at High, or maybe lowering the resolution a little bit.
The reason I ask is because I don't really have the funds to upgrade my graphics card at the moment (or anything in the system for that matter, because it would require completely new components), and I would have to make the decision whether to sit this one out for a while.

It will run (as long as you also have required HDD space, 64bit OS and DX11).
TBH we don't know how well. Nor where PS4 sits on the spectrum of PC low/med/high/uber ~ and hybrid modes.
I'd expect higher frame rate, but similar visuals. Maybe better.
CPU and RAM is fine... only the GPU is below recommended, but not by much.
You could certainly play it now and be happy, and replace GPU in time if you felt the need. You do have modding support (both creation and use) in PC.

Hi guys, i want to know the opinion about my pc, because i have the chance to buy other vga for a sli
My Setup is:
i7 4770K 4.0mhz
12gb ram 2400mhz
GTX Asus 780 3GB & 12%OC, GPU Clock 1027mhz | Memory Clock 6500mhz ( around 1450 in Heaven Benchmark extreme settings 1080P fullscreen )
SO W8.1
Res: 1080P
All i want is to aim for 1080P 60fps on HIGH ( Maybe some Ultra options, due the Nvdia drivers ( i guess ) on day one plus the big patch on day one too ) I don't give as fuck about the possible "visual downgrade" or similar things. so, 1080P 60fps on High is my goal.
Can be possible to aim for that, or im going to be forced to spend $550 to for a sli to play high/ultra? or my setup is enough for my goal?
Thanks for the help!

Thank you Lieste and Denan. Also the mod that moved this thread, I didn't see it as a sticky so I must have gone blind.
I will gamble on the PC version then.
All your specifications are above or equal to the recommended specs, so you should be fine. You might not be able to use some of the extra graphical stuff that CDProjekt probably put in (Ubersampling, etc).
Thanks for the reply, i know my GTX 780 is better than the recommended 770, but if im not wrong, or i'm totally stupid. i was reading while ago "the recommended system is only for a mix of mid/high at 30fps, so.. at 780 even oc, sound like will run mid at 60fps, with lucky =/.
this is why i wonder if my setup can run at least high at 60fps or i'll be forced to buy other 780 to play at High 60fps.
About Nvdia Hairwork, Hbao+, tessellation, ubersampling, etc, i really don't care, they are a pc destroyer expect for people with very high-end pc.

My thread was locked so I'll ask here again in case someone knows.
Will the game even run with a dual core? I am not asking whether it will perform well, but whether it will even run, go to the menu and start a game even with 5fps.
Will I just get a black screen or error without a quad core or enough RAM?

To be honest, I think you should be able to run it at least at high, but who can really tell? Rather than fork money for another 780, wait for the game to be released and see if it is really that bad. If it isn't up to par for your standards you could always look into buying a second graphics card.
I have the Maxwell one, and if the two are different, it's how much better the Maxwell GPU can be overclocked without running into thermal limitations.
I wanted to do further research on this matter, and I've got some stuff:
First, the desktop equivalent of the GPU in the PS4 is the Radeon HD 7870, as seen in this article.
Taking a look at the YouTube video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z3-LhimHBQ
The 860M appears to perform about 5-10 FPS better than the 7870, on average. Granted, on a newer, more demanding demanding title like The Witcher 3, the differences are minimal, but take into account that I've overclocked my GPU, and as a result can eke out another 10-15% performance boost.
Furthermore, my CPU (i7-4710MQ) greatly outperforms either console's, which use octa-core AMD Jaguar parts. From the same article above, the equivalent Intel CPU would be the Intel Bay Trail Atom, which is for netbooks.
And finally, there's this video:
https://youtu.be/JxUPJdcChzE
Taking all the above into account, if the PS4 can achieve (or at least, is supposed to achieve) 30 FPS @ 1080p, at what I assume are high-ish settings based on recent reviews, then from what I conclude, I should achieve ~40-45 FPS, easily.
But I'll wait and see.

Thanks.
DA:I wouldn't run and I was like "I am not going to upgrade for just one game", but now Witcher 3 too? Unacceptable!
Will the game absolutely not run with 4 GB of RAM? All the other requirements are met.
If GTX 980 runnig Witcher 3 at ultra settings with stable 60 fps, then GTX 780 can handle with ultra settings at 30-40 fps easily.

Well... technically it should run... but if it *needs* 6GB, then there will be a shit-ton of paging to and from virtual memory, and frame rates above glacial would be optimistic. Wait and see is the best option... OTOH, RAM is cheap and within reason never a waste...
So, we can count performance of Witcher 3 on GTX 780 easily. It's simple. 100% of performance = 60 fps at ultra (GTX 980), GTX 980 surprass GTX 780 about 30 %, then we have 60/100 = 0.6 fps (1% of performance). GTX 780 has about 70% of GTX 980 performance. 70 x 0.6 = 42 fps at ultra settings on GTX 780. But it's just numbers. All depend from Nvidia drivers and optimization for kepler architecture. Let's hope for thit simple arithmetic together, because i have GTX 780 ti. Not so much difference.
