Yes i have made a lot of research in what to go for. It seems a second 970 is the way to go. Pity my motherboard can't support SLI. I will have to keep that in mind for future systems.
my rig is : intell core i7-4770 cpu 3.4 ghz
16 go platinium dd3 corsair pc 17000
mother board >> asus rog maximus 6 hero
ssd 200 intell
graphic card : geforce gtx 780 3 giga ddr
i should be able to run the game on higt perhaps with one or two things on ultra and wait new generatio ncard to go all ultra ?
You can run it on high, might even be able to get some things to ultra as well i would say.
I'm a little confused about the requirements for CPU, so I would be grateful if someone helped me help answer two questions.
1) It would be possible to say, how many cores game uses? (It is no secret that even nowadays most modern games still use only two cores)
2) "Intel CPU Core i7 3770 3.4 GHz" is recommended CPU, but this CPU have also 3.9 GHz turbo boost.
It is therefore recommended performance still 3.4 GHz or higher?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
1) The Witcher 3 is not another Dead or Alive 5 PS3 port which stresses only one core while others just tease you with low usage, I think it will use 4 cores very easily and will have greater benefit from Hyper Threading.
2) Every CPU intensive application trigger turbo boost so 3.9 GHz should be the optimal speed. I think 3.4 GHz is mentioned just for reference purpose.
You could build a mini-ITX PC:
I would be really curious to see if hyper threading is actually beneficial for TW3. I'd really like to know if that is the case because it's not very common for games i suppose. Would be a very interesting piece of info from CDPR.
As for the CPU speed i think having a 1-2 year old i5 or i7 would be quite enough. I don't think (or i don't want to think) that with a CPU like that anyone would have problems running the game unless hyper threading actually makes a difference.
Alright guys. That's now official. I'll join the dark side and buy a desktop next month. After comparison It would be idiot not to. I really want a kick ass graphic card like 980 ( and not the 980m joke in comparison ). And it's cheaper for best quality and customization, like you said previously. So thank you guys. You helped me big time.
Congratulations I am probably also building a rig now ... why not go 970 SLI instead of 980? Or do you play 1080p?
Yeah it should run fine, but im a noob like that, graphics are usually last of my concern but i love Witcher universe so much i just want a good run. Thats why im fine with High anything more is a bonus, and i posted somewhere else but it got moved here thus the bold title... My bad
i5470 at 3.6ghz
Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM
SSD Samsung EVO
MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr Gaming 2 GB
Hope for nice FPS at High settings.
