I can run it on high settings for the most part, but I turned some options off and I get about 35 to 25 fps depending on where I am. Game doesn't look that good to me, hence now why I want to upgrade so I can have everything at max. | ||

Thank you. I want nvidia again, because my experience with ATI has been not good. I can't even run sc2 efficiently with the 5770. What I mean by that is if I have say youtube open, for some reason it bogs down my sc2 to lower then 30 fps. Once I close out that browser with youtube open it goes back up to 50 fps. I also have problems alt tabbing. It will take 40 years to go back to sc2, so I have to have it on windows mode. Also, the drivers seem to have some issues with the witcher 2. I'm not an expert in PC hardware, so I could be missing something, but just from my experience I do not like ATI as much as I like nvidia. | ||

I'm pretty sure you can't On May 25 2011 01:01 xixecal wrote: I can run this on high at 720p with no frame rate issues on a 5770 and an i3. This game is way harder than the first witcher, and gives me somewhat of a demon soul's feel in terms of combat difficulty. unfortunately that changes after you've gained some levels, it's not that balanced, I hope for a litlle balance change in the upcoming patch. | ||

Basically a console gamer who has never played pc games bought a gaming pc and did a review of Witcher 2. Rage ensues. (Warning: Prologue spoilers) I don't really see anything wrong that kid did - at least during his successful attempt at the fight. Its explained, very poorly, that parrying requires vigor. Its not explained anywhere what vigor is, and where its shown on the screen until you start using spells/parrying and notice the yellow boxes disappearing. There isn't any particular visual warning when you take damage from your own exploding Yrden (sp?) trap. The combat revolves around spamming left-click and rolling away if you hit their shield, and then running away like a pansy to regenerate vigor if Quen goes down (and you have no vigor left). It's easy to accidentally swing at the wrong target, in a multi-target fight, and screw yourself over (unless you've got a boner for the target-lock function). All of those things I've experienced within the prologue (particularly that battle) myself. You can't argue that they did a horrible job of explaining the game's combat mechanics during the prologue. This game isn't Mario where the only buttons you need are left, right and jump and you can pick up the basic game in under 10 seconds. More complex games of the modern generation should do what they can to explain things better. | ||

More complex games of the modern generation should do what they can to explain things better. I agree, the tutorial is horrible. Tips popped up during battle and there is no time to read them. But it is all explained in the help section so it isn't that bad, if you just take the time to open it up. That doesn't make the rage any less funny though, at least not for me :D. I watched some of his other videos aswell and there are some golden moments in them. In one of them he is benchmarking with the settings in Witcher 2 and says: "Ok the fps is good and it looks stunning but why is it so fucking jittery? There are so many settings someone please comment on the video and tell me how to get rid of the jitteriness" and the most upvoted comment was "get a mousepad". | ||

No, really, do you do it every battle, against every single opponent in a multi-target fight? Or do you like to remain free and attack targets of opportunity when they show up? | ||

The vast majority of gamers don't want to bother reading a tome before they play a game. The gamers are the customers, so the developers should do what they can to help that along by making a good tutorial system. I mean, really, would making a better tutorial somehow taken AWAY from the game at all? | ||
