Witcher 3 System Requirements

Im just waiting for it to come out, a few games are making a kind of jump up from needing only the gtx X60/X60 ti, range for recommended settings and several versions before.
Could this mean we will expect a big GPU jump forward with performance?

Glad i have a system to run it, however feeling sad i had a high end card a year ago... and its near recommended system specs :(.

I feel your pain, This time next year my 295X2 will be just an expensive paper weight :(
 
Yes and no, At least you dont have the VRAM bottle neck ... You have 8gb on there dont you 4GB for each GPU.
Im stuck with 3GB, "sad face" lol.
Either we will get a lull in games or GPU's will jump up in performance.

The minimum spec is reasonable though, glad to see it utilises more cores :) good for us who invested but maybe bad for those little awesome intel Anniversary chips.
 
Looks like it runs quite a bit better on Nvidia cards considering they recommend a 770 for Nvidia but recomened a 290 for AMD.
A 280 is the AMD equivalent of 770 not a 290, the Nvidia equivalent of the 290 is a 780/970.

It's mainly because this is a "The Way It's Meant To Be Played" title so AMD performance takes a back seat with the game devs.
 
280X with OC should not perform more than 10% worse than a 770 with OC so I think those requirements are dictated mainly by the money Nvidia has invested in the title. On top of that in 90% of the situations a 280X has 50% more memory than a 770 unless it's a 4GB version which is everything but common and given Witcher 3 is a modern game, the tendency is for new titles to be very memory hungry, even if optimised otherwise.
Those requirements speak good though, as the game will not be a disappointment in terms of how beautiful the previews shown up to this moment are compared to the final product. Cudos to CD Project Red, I think they will not fail the enthusiasts once again.

280x and a 770 are nearly dead even. I would opt for a 280x still though because of the extra vram. Hopefully they try to keep it this way though. Not skew the results.
