Witcher 2

[galliano]

Rather than run down what each option looked like and performed like I will sum it up by saying that after all of that I came to the conclusion that the best performance:appearance ratio came setting the resolution to 1600x900, textures medium, shadows med, shadow lights med, light shafts on, vsync on, dangling object limit on, rain effects or whatever its called on, cinematic dof on, decals medium and everything else off.

This keeps it playable outdoors during fights at around 25 fps. Inside its more like 40-50. Turning off light shafts gave me a whopping 1 fps difference, and i like the way it looks.

Thank you so so much. Its exactly what i needed to know

After trying this game out at a friends house, apparently after his kids got bored... all I can say is, I didn't get to that first boss.

I am using witcher 2 at 2550 x 1440. I am using the catalyst overclock and getting 30-50 fps constantly. I have ssao, aa, uber and blur off, everything else on.

What machine are you playing on?
It can't be an 27"iMac since the 6970m simply can not handle this game on 2560x1440 with all settings on Ultra except the ones you pointed out.

I tried installing this on a 2.8ghz C2D MBP 15. 9600M GT w 512 MB VRAM. 8GB RAM. Windows 7 64 bit Professional on Bootcamp.

While the CPU and RAM hits the minimum specs, my video card definitely can't handle it - fluctuates between 10 and 26 fps (my understanding is that the 9600M GT is below the performance of the recommended miminum GeForce 8800 card).

It would probably work at lower resolutions, but the Witcher 2 doesn't resize the screen at lower resolutions (meaning I'm playing within a black box at 1280x720 or lower).

Damn, so that definitely eliminates any chance of me playing it on this 13" MBP. Oh well. I knew I didn't meet the min. requirements anyway, but I still had some hope.

So to anyone who plays the Witcher 2, on a 2011 15" macbook (AMD 6750), roughly what settings are you using, without overclocking, and does overclocking bring a large enough performance boost to warrant the risk of taking it?

so a lot of people are saying install the amd 11.5b hotfix and make sure the game is updated. Well on my base model 2011 iMac I can still barely run the game on low settings. It is still glitchy and controls are not very responsive in fights. Also, I cant seem to be able to easily click on merchants I have to move the camera around all over until the icon pops for me to right click, they need tab to cycle through clickable people or items. Any ways some help on how I could get the game running smoother would be awesome!
