SLI will be available on day one because if you visit Geforce website, you'll see SLI mentioned for The Witcher 3. On the other hand before the release of GTA V there was no SLI mentioned for it but now that Nvidia released the SLI profile you can see SLI mentioned below it which means Nvidia update it accordingly so if SLI is mentioned for TW3 right now then it means they already have SLI support and will release it near 19th May.

if you look at w8.1 performance monitor you see about 800 threads flying around easily. In pc it's more about how the os handles threads to any given core. Devs have greater control on the cpu threads on consoles since those 6 cores are dedicated to the game you are playing. In pc with 4 cores or more and Intel hyperthreading we gain more linearity for how fast those threads are executed. With i5 and 4 cores there's also lot to be gained by how fast those cores work. Even more so on two core processors.

Greetings,
I have preordered the game and I'd like to get a general idea if I would be able to run W3 on medium or high settings with acceptable performance (40-50+ fps);
Here are my hardware specs:
i7 870 2.93 GHZ
6 GB 1600 mhz RAM
2 GB GTX 770
If people with better knowledge about the game and its performance could give their input it would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

Help! Was wondering what settings/fps I could run Witcher 3 on with this Laptop spec.
Hello everyone,
With this laptop spec, do you reckon I'd be able to play W3 at all, even on low graphics settings and what fps I could get?
Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M <--- I know this is the bottleneck, but even with this.
8GB Ram (7.92 Gb usable)
1920x1080 60Hz
Win7 Home Premium 64-bit
I'd love to play the game; it literally looks incredible, but wouldn't mind sacrificing graphics just to play it. That said, if I did play on low graphics would there be any hindrance to game play (like for example not being able to read quest logs or whatever), or would they not have a significant effect.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated, or any other solutions you think could help too.
Cheers!

@johnnykarate23 I'm pretty sure that the game will look good even in low settings and i think that's what you will probably be able to play on with that laptop. Maybe medium as well but with a hit on fps.
@althrian I'd suggest you go for the 4GB version, never bad to have more Vram. The problem with your setup is your CPU though, which is quite a bit below minimum. I cannot tell you for sure but youprobably won't have an actual benefit from a better graphics card if your CPU bottlenecks it, which it probably will.
@Joruba It depends on what graphics settings you want to play. If you are happy with low/medium then you are fine. An upgrade to a 770 or 780 will give you a great boost since your CPU and RAM are already fine i think. With a 770 you will probably be able to play on high.

I was thinking to add another 8GB of DDR3 ram to my system, since I want to lay The Witcher 3 on ultra. The thing is what I hawe right now is this model of RAM: G. Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL7D-8GBXH (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231431), with timings (CL) of 7-8-7-24, but this model is unavailable anymore, so I can only get this model (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428). This one has a different timing of 9-9-9-24. Will it cause any issues to install 2 different RAM kits, with different timings?
the voltage and speed need to be the same. Timings work with the lowest module specs. In your case both will work in 9-9-9-24.
this is in my experience anyway.

if tw3 reaches 60 fps in 1080p with gtx 980, what is needed to reach 60 fps in 1440p or 2160p?
The Witcher 3 requirements.
Hello.
My name is Cleiton and I would like to know if I can run The Witcher 3 on a GTX 580, because it practically has the same performance of a GTX 660.
Thank you.

1440p is 78% more pixels than 1080p, and 2160p ("4K") is 300% more. I'm thinking SLI 970's or 980's for 1440p, and some monster rig for 4K.

They haven't said anything about performance on Fermi. There's nothing about Fermi architecture that would make them incompatible with the game. Some cards like the 1.5GB 580's may be limited by VRAM.

My system appears to fall short of the recommended requirements. I'm dubious about buying it for the PC. I might simply opt for the PS4 version.

Hello All!
I'm thinking of getting a Laptop for the Witcher 3 with these specs:
Intel Core i7-4710MQ - 2,50 - 3,50GHz 6MB 47W
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2048MB GDDR5
4k 33,78 cm (13.3") QHD+ (3200*1800) Glare IPS-Panel
8GB (2x4096) SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM 1600MHz CORSAIR Vengeance
1000GB / 8GB SATA-III SSH 5400U/Min Seagate Laptop SSHD (ST1000LM014)
Would I be able to run it? Thanks

Because I have to travel a lot staying in different places,
anyway, do you think those specs are ok?
@Aldem83 With that setup you probably won't be able to get 60 on max settings but i am pretty sure you'll be around 45-50 which is great.
@Bishie Your system fine. CPU is great and RAM are enough as well. The only thing that i would probably change if it was possible is the graphics card. Not that it's bad but if you have the ability to get a GTX 970 or a 290X, i would go for it. You will probably get a pretty good boost in fps with this change.
@RParmar Could be possible but i can't say for sure how performance will scale at 1440p. At 1080p, you'll be great even on max settings i think.
@NormanSador Well if you can only get a laptop i think that will do but for medium settings probably for decent fps.
