Well I bought the witcher enhanced edition the day it became available on steam and gave up on it very fast given how bad the screen tearing was. I figured that my rig wasn't necessarily to blame but that with time a patch fixing that issue or better drivers would come. Fast forward to today and I just finished setting up my new rig and low and behold, the screen tearing issue is still just as bad ( kept the same video card which most likely explains it but u'd think that a ssd drive i5 2500k win 7 64 bits and 8 gb of ram would help). I tried Everything outlined in this thread ( ATI radeon hd 5850 xfx black edition so tinkered with ccc and even installed all kind of software I do not like installing like d3d overrider or that pcwizard stuff they ask you to use) and screen tearing is just as bad. It's VERY difficult to suspend disbelief in a fantasy game when ur character looks like lego boxes in cutscenes. So I just want to give a thumbs down to cd projekt for their lack of solution for this problem. I will not be buying the witcher 2 based on my very frustrating experience with the witcher 1. I am aware I am missing out on two amazing games but games are meant to relax and escape not to be the source of annoyance this game has been for me. That being said, I will continue to support gog.com as it is a great concept and an amazing website with very good games.
