We can hope they wouldn't, but CDPR has to make this game for three platforms simultaneously instead of just one now.

 

As far as needing two 780ti's to get 30fps, no way. That would more or less suggest that the visuals between the PC and console versions would be significantly different. Also, probably less than 1% of the gaming PC base actually has such a ridiculous rig to start. I'd be shocked if the recommended settings require more than a single GTX 760 quite frankly (no game on the market requires SLI or CF support and we've only seen tech demos need that much graphical power).

 

This isn't the same jump we saw from The Witcher to The Witcher 2. CDPR even admitted that visually speaking, The Witcher 3 is primarily just increasing the polygon count. Otherwise, it's not really making any substantial pushes beyond what we already saw with The Witcher 2, which still looks pretty good on ultra settings for the PC to date.

 

I'm honestly not expecting any games in the foreseeable future to really push the boundaries in regards to system requirements. Perhaps Batman: Arkham Knight might raise the bar as that game looks incredible on it's highly-modified Unreal Engine 3. Honestly though, we'll probably have to wait until Crysis 4 or Battlefield 5 before we see something truly breathtaking.

I think BF hardline will need the same as DA:I to run

That should certainly be more than sufficient. Since most game developers are console-centric, it's generally never in your interest to try and future proof too far. I'm not even sure The Witcher 3 will necessarily need the latest hardware since it's being made for the Xbox One and Playstation 4 as well. The exception with The Witcher 2 had to do with it being PC-only initially. I don't know if that means The Witcher 3 will suffer graphically as a result on the PC (it still looks fantastic), but for the sake of time, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

I think the goal - if you want to future proof - should instead just be to get a very smooth max setting rendering of whatever most graphically intensive product of the current gen is doing. That will keep you safe for the entire console generation anyway, since the consoles are really the major botteneck on PC development.

 

I used the 8800GTX for pretty much the entirety of the Xbox360 generation. I only needed to switch it out for something better when I got a 1920x1080 monitor and the card just couldn't handle high settings at that resolution.

That's a great approach that will work on 98% of games out there, especially if they are multiplatform. The only ones that might fail with respect to that approach would either be PC exclusive titles, such as Star Citizen, or other developers who have historically been PC developers (DICE, CD Projekt Red, Crytek, etc.). Most games really just aren't going to push hardware, as they are confined by the limitations of PS4 and Xbox One. Both systems at the time of their release could pass as medium-end PCs at best.

Do we have an official answer about win8 vs win8.1? Had it even  been tested with win8?

[GrinningRogue]

Ok so I'm not very good with tech, I just wanna know if I can run it. Bellow is what I have:

 

OS: Windows 7
CPU: Intel core i7-3517U CPU @ 1.90 GHz 2.40Gh
System RAM: 8 GB
Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 4000
Graphics Memory: 1.6GB
DirectX 11

 

Can I run it?

Can you run it? Probably yes, on the lowest settings with regular performance losses.

The HD 4000 Graphics was pretty sweet for an integrated GPU when it was released. Now... not so much.

Honestly? I don't think so. It's not even a dedicated GPU. Everything else is fine but that graphics card won't be able to do it, even on the lowest setting. Maybe on a very low resolution. 

[Enviable Memory]

Ok, for me the question is, do i need to get a sweet 970 or can I play the game maxed out with my 7970 ghz edition/3gb vram? Any ideas? Cheers!

It likely won't matter. I don't think I've run into a piece of software that works in 8.1 but doesn't work in 8 (I work in IT, so I deal with both often).

 

Unless you're on the Enterprise version of 8, why not upgrade to 8.1? It's free through the Windows store and is a much better experience (especially post-Update 1).

A HD 7970 GHzE is plenty powerful enough to max out the game based on the recommended specs.

Yeah, for true PC games you'll scale down. But if you like the games you can play them later on max settings. That's what I did with TW2.

[Fidite Nemini]

 

just double checking this

 

Processor: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU    Q6600  @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz

             Memory: 8192MB RAM

Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6670

Display Memory: 5875 MB

   Dedicated Memory: 2035 MB

      Shared Memory: 3840 MB

 

Should play minimum eh?

 

 

 

The GPU does not meet the minimum requirements. It's significantly slower than the 4870.

[GrinningRogue]

I was worried about that. I can run Sims 3 tho, and Skyrim, even though both are on less than medium settings. I was hoping it means it'll be good enough to run it, and smooth enough that I wont get graphics lag.

[LostInReverie19]

What about the ATI Radeon HD 5750? That's what I've got right now. What kind of performance can I expect from this card? Medium or lower graphics settings for the game? 

 

I'm gonna upgrade in the future when I can afford to, but can't right now.

5750 is at 4850 niveau, so strictly speaking below the minimum specs for the GPU. Though not by too much, so if the devs calculated their minimum specs with a bit of leeway, it might just work for minimum settings, though probably not stable. I wouldn't count on it though.

 

 

 

 

What I can advise everyone whose GPU is too weak, is to take a look at the GTX 750Ti. The GPU is small, hardly requires much power to run and is fast enough to run the game at a pricetag of around 100 bucks, so it isn't too taxing on a budget. And if you run a lower resolution than 1080p, then you can opt for the little, non-Ti brother and save a handfull bucks again.

[GalacticDonuts]

Ohhh yeah! Even has Mantle and 4k support! I couldn't have picked a better time to build a new rig so happy! Thank you Bioware

[RifuloftheWest]

On today's Twitch stream, Mike and Cameron talked about 4k support through Mantle, which confused me.

 

If one had a setup powerful enough to run at 4k resolutions and a proper 4k display, wouldn't the option just be there...regardless of Mantle? Is it a UI scaling thing?

[Revan Reborn]

Certainly. I was fortunate enough that I built my high-end PC rig prior to The Witcher 2 being released, so I didn't have any issue running it at ultra settings. I just recently picked up the GTX 770 last year, so I'm expecting my rig to be more than adequate for at least a few more years. I don't expect any games to really push it to the limit until Crysis 4, Battlefield 5, or perhaps Star Citizen. The Witcher 3 might put it through its paces, but it has been in development for a while. I'm not expecting the system requirements to be too unreasonable, especially since its a multiplatform title now and I doubt the PC version will look too different from its console versions..

Pretty sure he tried to mean that Mantle could additionally help those running 4K, not that it's required for it.

[RifuloftheWest]

That's pretty much what I thought. It was just the way he phrased it...was odd, thus the slight confusion.

 

Thanks for chiming in!

[archav3n]

Thanks for pushing the limits on PC. It makes sense for me to upgrade and go for dual cards in future. I hope they be releasing a 980Ti with 8GB VRAM

[jamskinner]

I wonder how many disks it is coming on?

[thevaleyard]

I wonder if we can enable the Mantle API right from Day 1 or whether we have to wait for AMD to release Mantle ready drivers or something .
