since this topic has gaming rigs on it, could you guys help me out.

Is there a website where I can input what graphics card or processor I'm going to get and see if it can run W2 similar to the http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

Well I got glasses, been about 2 weeks.

@ Kodaemon, epic desk there. Do you plan the invasion of the North during loading? Please say you do.

@ Tia deLamare. Nice pics!

Thanks for your compliment. I decided to remove those pictures.


You have a nice beard. And your glasses fits you very well.

And yes with that desk that guy could conquer the North, maybe the world.

So I didn't introduce myself here, sorry about that.
I'm Tia DeLamare.
De Lamare is because of a character I really like. It's a Guy de Maupassant's character.
"Tia" because I think it sounds nice (teeeah).
And in portuguese it kind of shows my age.
I'm an old "gamer". I've been playing games since I was a little girl. It's one of my favorite pass time. I pay my bills and taxes but I love video games. Perhaps I didn't grow up very much etc. etc. But the good thing is that now I'm mature enough not to care about it. Cheers!

Hmm, no, there's not. That site is a bad work of fiction when it comes to anything that requires an evaluation of processor (especially GPU) performance. It causes me grief every time I have to say "no, you can't run the game; Canyourunit tells lies."

Anyway, my criterion for TW2 is you need about 200 to 250 clocks per pixel on the output stage at medium to high settings, considerably more for full-on Ultra; memory speed and the earlier unified shader and texture stages are less important.

Take a stated-minimum card like the 9800 GT (G92). It has 16 raster output processors (ROPs) and a 600 MHz core clock, giving you 9600M clocks/sec.

1440x900 resolution is approx. 1.3 MPixels, thus 7000 clocks/pixel/sec. Divide by 250, and you should see a frame rate of about 28.

My best card is an old GTX 285 (32 ROPs, 700 MHz core clock). That's 22.4G clocks/sec, or 10800 clocks/pixel/sec at 1920x1080. Divide by 250 gives me a predicted frame rate of 43, and I see an average frame rate of 42.

Call me Jabez! Well, it didn't came from any fictional characters, either in any video games character but rather it came from Hebrew names which means sorrowful. However, if I'm gonna select alias then I will choose Mighty Thor. A hammer wielding god from Norse mythology. What do you think?

Hellow Witaj
Been lurking for a long time now, im not really into forums and stuff.
Witcher history started with Witcher 1, then the books, then Witcher 2 and also the movie, serie etc.

Good day guys!

Hello all.

Well I just joined a very short while ago.
Recently got into the The Witcher via TW1 and am really enjoying it, and the prospect of playing the sequels!!

Anyway, it's nice to be here and i'm looking forward to getting stuck in.

Got myself a new coat and mask! A dream come true indeed. I always felt like a bit of a homeless man before with the way I dressed, but it feels much better now ^^
And also now I have something nice for halloween...

Not exactly showing off my rig, or myself per se but anyways:

As much as I love "traditional" PC gaming there's a certain charm playing The Witcher 2 with a wireless controller while lying barefooted in a super comfortable sofa-bed.

So LarsMN is the elusive man and eskiMoe likes playing W2 barefooted . Welcome to the thread....gentlemen

The pictures of the rig were taken mid-2012, so there's nothing particularly impressive about the hardware. Waiting for Witcher 3 before upgrading my PC.
