Ok. I dont know what I can do better with the graphics but heres the panel - everything except UBER is on. And I still have a fluid framerate, no hiccups, lags, screen tearing, bad textures or whatever.
Posted Image - aye its in polish but you can deduct if you're interested ;)

Phenom X4 970 3.50 GHz
RAM 8GB
GF GTX 460 Gigabyte 1GB
Win7 Home 64bit

I wonder what is the problem with efficency on supposed "better" rigs that experience all those graphical problems... :/

EDIT:
Does anyone know how and where do I start Troll Trouble? Installed, but there is nothing about it on flotsam's job board....

BTW what a magnificent game it is XD

sounds like it is well optimized for multi-threading on quad-core CPUs

Ubersampling is killing everyone's rigs. Definitely a feature ahead of current hardware. Game already looks amazing without it so I don't really care.

In the linked and clearly faked review of David Gaider's opinion of the Witcher 2 on Metacritic, there is talk about 'women that can interact with the player (character) sexually'. Do you seriously think that Gaider would denigrate or demean such an aspect of the game, being able to have romances, especially since he has, on every occasion, when posting here, and in in every interview, been defending them.

As for Avanost's score of 10 for Bioware's Dragon Age, this was only one 10 for the game. Many others
gave it 10, many more others did give it it a 0, though. However, giving a game a 0(zero) because you don't like the combat, or the story, or the re-used areas or the x,y,z fearure in it, seems a bit -ahem- childish to me. The same also goes for the idea that a game, you really, really don't like should get a 0.
[The review score of zero should go to the games like Daikatana - trust me, if you played the demo 10 or 11 years ago, like I did, you'd know why you'd never heard anymore about this game; the demo was unplayable...].

Also, please do not try to start a war between Bioware and CD Project,as Bioware were loaed (licensed) their Aurora engine to CD Project back in 2001/2002, so that CD Project could make Witcher 1. Also, please understand that the dev world probably? is a small world, and that every rpg out there probabbly steals -cough- I mean get inspired by what the other guys do. I clearly remember when the blooom effect started to appear back in 2004-2006; it was ridiculous. And by that I mean, it was overused by so mane games, probably because an art designer/director? looked at it and said 'hey, we need such a thing too...'

As for the combat and other stuff; You can only play as male in Witcher as Witchers (in lore) are only male. And the means of the combat in this game serves the ends of the combat and vice versa. This means that the game is trying its best to make a simulation of how a witcher would fight in real-time e.g. roll, jump over enemies, scroll to one side, using the terrain, back-track.

Great post! *thumbs up* Not sure if a lot of people realise The Witcher games are based off of books.

I love the combat in TW2.. on normal, things kill me if I don't plan properly.. hell even on casual, same thing. The kayran was one of the most fun boss fights I've had in a while. I died stupidly till I figured it out. >.<

EDIT: a similar setup to mine (Phenom II Black Edition 965 (sitting at 3.4ghz) and an overclocked gtx 460.. I can't run uber without my system crying in pain. Hell, my nephews gaming rig. i7 @ 4ghz, gtx 580 gets 16 FPS with ulta and uber sampling.. Wonder how he did it..

Didn't Bioware also help CD Projekt to earn the money they needed to develop TW1?

IIRC, CD Projekt did a lot of localization work for Bioware games.

Haters gonna hate in regards to the metacritic, personally I find publishers paying attention to it, as if it's a good judge of how a title is doing to be a joke to begin with really.

Wow.. playing TW2, 6 hours went by like that! *snaps finger* I thought I was only playing for an hour. Heh, just made some epic Kayran armor.

My system runs it fine. Getting 40-60 FPS on high setting. (recommended to get the latest nvidia beta that was released yesterday, and if you have problems, uninstalled nvidia 3d vision)

CPU: Amd Phenom II X4 @ 3.4ghz (down clocked from 4ghz, getting a bit warm)
Video: eVGA Geforce GTX 460 (over clocked, and running low temp. core @ 825mhz, memory @ 2.2ghz)
Ram: OCZ platinum 4 GB DDR3 (I really need to get more ram...)



I wasn't aware you could craft armor. Is that part of a particular quest Neppa? Sounds very cool! Posted Image

@ CoS Yep. Agreed. I'll never give a game a 0 on metacritic, unless its daikatana like. I gave da2 a 4 / 10, because all the bad, piles of crap in it outweighed all the good parts. No game gets a 10 either. I gave TW2 9 / 10 so far.

@ringo

Maybe? I just wanted the cool things the $49.99 version came with. I lvoe that little metal coin, and oren from the game i think.

Its a crappy cell phone pic, but look at this! CONTENT!

EDIT: @ CoS Yep. You can craft weapons and armor. If you got the ingredients, coins, and find a merchant who can do it. The kayan is one of the monster quests, so loot! :)

I did and I can't find any of the damn collector's edition stuff :(

Can't find the stuff in my steam folder.

I think the biggest problem is the lack of multi-GPU profiles for an AAA release. Dual GPUs would easily run this game with ubersampling. You would definitely need at least 2x6970s or GTX580s I would imagine.

Apparently Hangman's Tree is getting great frame rates with ubersampling enabled at 1920x1080 with a single GTX 460.

I bought a Steam copy and Collector's Edition I couldn't resist either! But the Steam version store page says that buyers get a random paper craft and I want them all! Since we can just email them and print as many as we want. I dare not open the papercraft from my CE.

Well I guess anyone who bought it online must have recieved their own papercraft. I have

Geralt, geralt accessories, Triss, Dandelion, Nekkar and a Rotfiend craft. Are there more?

My computer is 6 years old, and could not take the game's epicness. Hubby gets a new computer this weekend, and I get his 4 year old one, which plays the game just fine with a few minor things here and there. Then I too can get my ass happily handed to me while fighting my way to Flotsam and beyond!

Frankly, The Witcher 2 is how sequels should be. They should be more challenging than its predecessor, and not hold your hand *coughDA2cough*, hey should be bigger(not limit you to one quest hub, like Kirkwall), they should have a more interesting narrative and characters, not the other way around(again, DA2). Basically, everything needs to be improved, and not do a complete 180 that DA2 did.

I know!! CE wasn't available at my gamestop :( Plus I didn't have enough at the time and I wanted it NOW! lol.

I look at my $59.99 DA2 coaster.. then look at all the goodies in TW2 reg copy and shake my head. Man, I think I got ripped off with DA2 :P

Sometimes, when no one's around, I pretend that that Geralt bust is flirting with me. Geralt of Rivia, you have me bewitched.Posted Image

Funny, even the guy from Tweakguides who managed to max out GTAIV on PC without any stuttering, gets 16-20 FPS with ubersampling enabled, and 40-60 FPS otherwise.

I wrote EXCEPT ubersampling ;)

My card:
GeForce with CUDA GTX 460 Gigabyte 1024MB/256bit DVI&HDMI (PCI-E) OC
 I just tried with ubersampling. It looks magnificient! But I can see a little slow-mo when moving and fighting. Wierd - its stil fluid but a bit slower. Too noticable for me unfortunetly, so I cant stay with UBER.
It doesnt bother me really, I always preferred a flawless running game to high graphical settings.
Case closed ;)

BUT the story and cinematic cutscenes knocks down on your back!
And the atmosphere, oh the atmosphere!!!

Yeah, how I feel about it too Ali. DA2 had that potential. I saw it. If they hadn't done a 180 and been rushed...

But Witcher sure knew what they were doing, from what I can tell by watching hubby play...*cries*:crying:

Well so far it looks good except for one minor problem.I have glitch bug on Barricade quest.When it comes to aiming it stops at 75%.So I am stuck in Prologue.I can load the ballista no problem but aiming stops.Clicking like mad and it still doesn't help.The good news is that I really learning the combat system that and I am inventing new swear words.Hopefully someone at gamefaq will post a link to a game with barricade finished so I can try that.After running 8 new chrs thru and un/reinstall I still can't get it to work so if tech support doesnt get back to me by tomorrow..it goes back to Amazon.I really do like what I have seen of the game.I think it will take a bit of time before CD Project iron out the wrinkles.
