Hi it says i can play on highest settings but if i put it on ultra or high whatever the highest setting is will it lag?
PC Specs
No, put AA on lowest setting (or off for best perfrmance), anisotropic filtering to off and ubersampling off, everything else max at 1080p.
PC Specs
How well should I run it?
PC Specs
Your GPU is a major bottleneck. Maybe on lowest setting. Not sure about fps, maybe 15-25 at 720p. Upgrade to a 660 gtx, they got quite cheap and are still good.
PC Specs
I am currently playing this on lowest settings. But still it lags, what settings to tweek to give it a fair performance. I don't care about graphics that much.
PC Specs
Put the resolution at 800x600, make sure all anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing are turned off, turn off all shadows ect...
PC Specs
Why when i play this game on high it lags you think my integrated graphic is running on this?
PC Specs
Yeah, it's your iGPU, I think, I don't see a problem if you want to run this game at Ultra settings. :)
PC Specs
i can run on high without lag now. my power option is set to power saver haha but thanks for your reply kind sir :)
PC Specs
high settings for me?
thanks in advance :)
PC Specs
High-Ultra settings. :)
PC Specs
Can I ultra this at my native res? With or without ubersampling and aa? Thanks.
PC Specs
With ubersampling on defiantly not, with off quite possible
PC Specs
Thanks. Still 100% worth it.
PC Specs
I just got this gpu today. Can I use all the options (including ubersampling and depth of field) now?
PC Specs
You can play the game full ultra settings with 60fps+ especially on that res. With ubersampling on you should get around 30-+ (i was able to get around 25++ fps with ubersampling on on a gtx650ti 1GB)
PC Specs
Thanks. I'll test it a bit and see how it runs. Just wanted to get a good idea of how it would run with it on.
PC Specs
welcome mate, anytime!
PC Specs
wich settings for me?
PC Specs
Max ^^
PC Specs
Full ultra 60FPS+, even with ubersampling on you will probably get a playable framerate, not 60fps, but playable
PC Specs
am i fine with my specs to play at high settings possibly with ubersampling?
PC Specs
full ultra 60fps with your gpu and that res...... not sure for uber tho...
PC Specs
Can I go Ultra with Ubersampling with good fps (40+ and stable)?
PC Specs
Bud of has a very similar setup and he can push 60 - 100+ with US on
PC Specs
Yes im able to play the game ultra with ubersampling on and get around 50++ FPS stable
PC Specs
Thx man thats what I get too, the game looks awesome with ubersampling
PC Specs
have a good one ;)
PC Specs
can i play this game with good fps?
PC Specs
For sure.
PC Specs
thank you for the reply, much appreciated.
PC Specs
On that res you can play it ultra no ubersampling and you will be around 60fps-+
PC Specs
Do you guys recomend this game? Is good? How my PC would run?
PC Specs
yes definitely recommend.Your pc will run it well over 30fps, i used to have a pc with core2duo 2.2ghz 2gb ram GT9600 1GB gpu, and i was able to play the game with around 30-+FPS on low 720p..The one you have now can definitely push more fps, i would say that on 1080p you will be able to play medium with playable fps
PC Specs
The site here says I should run it fine ... but I get 30 fps on low :/ what is wrong here ?
PC Specs
Well, about your problem, try to turn off Vsync, if possible, try to re-install the game.
PC Specs
I turned off vsync and re-installed it .. no difference :/
PC Specs
You've been duped by the lowballed (recommended) system requirements. I had similar performance @1080p with mostly low/medium settings on a hd7770. Had to drop to even 720p to get smooth frames, but even then the frametimes were all over the place. Sometimes they just lowball the requirements to get more people to buy the game. Ended up buying it on xbox. Looked worse but ran much more consistent.
PC Specs
Try to update you drivers..
PC Specs
Your res is too high, i've seen guys running the game with similar frame rates on 720p with r7 250. Your r7 250x aint way better, but allows you to get a bit more fps in games. Put a lower resolution like 1360x768p or even 720p. Put everything on low, with texture downscaling high and texture memory size at very small
PC Specs
Can I run it? If so, at what settings and fps?
PC Specs
Sorry mate, doubt it. Even if you could run it on all lowest settings at your resolution, you'd still get unplayable fps. Might consider upgrading.
PC Specs
Settings for me?
PC Specs
Try at Low settings, turn off all options. Good luck, ;)
PC Specs
Do i need to play witcher 1 before this to know whats going on?
PC Specs
It would help but it's not necessary, I completed number 2 first and I'm still playing through number 1 now :)
PC Specs
Can I play this with ultra settings? And if so, what fps should I expect? Thanks.
PC Specs
Yep, I think, it should be 35+, turn off AA and Vsync.
PC Specs
i have everything enabled besides ubersampling and depth of field at 1366x768 and i get 30-50 fps. you should easily be able to play ultra.
PC Specs
Can i run it with playable fps?
PC Specs
Yes, try at Low-Medium settings, with all options off, good luck ;)
PC Specs
i'll try it :)
saw The Witcher 3 trailer, and thought that i should play this game cause it looks fun too :)
PC Specs
Please tell me I can at least run this. ):
PC Specs
i dont think you will get playable fps but you can try :)
PC Specs
APU A10-5757M with Radeon HD 8750M ? You should be able to enjoy this game at Medium settings easy, go on mate ;)
PC Specs
Settings and fps? Would playing on my 1080p TV be out of the question?
Thanks in advance :)
PC Specs
What settings should I use?
My Nvidia Geforce Experience optimises most of my games for me, but it's giving me low/medium settings for Witcher 2. I was hoping for a second opinion here.
PC Specs
Note that NGE doesn't always give you the best possible settings. Put ubersampling to off, anisotropic filtering off and AA off, medium-high at 1080p(40-50 fps)
