Kind of wish I was due for a gpu update. Looks like an amazing game and with a separate dedicated PhysX card the battles will probably look awesome!

 

[Disarrayed]

Figures. I bought a 980 a week ago.

GTX 970 users will get The Witcher 3.5, right? RIGHT? LEFT?

 

[n3cw4rr10r]

Nice deal. I have had mine pre-ordered via GOG though. Not cancelling it.

 

[eklipz330]

whatever amd's gameplan is, theyre taking too long.

 

[applo1]

Trying to get people to buy their cards instead of waiting on the new Radeon cards to come out?

 

[thor220]

It's a shame most people already bought a new video card by now. They are just trying to entice AMD users over.

Last time I purchased a video card for a game I was burned so I would wait for the R9 300 series. Chances are it's going to be good.

Got my msi 970 in december, which is quite a piss off because i got stuck with crappy Ubisoft games that they had to make up for by giving away for their horrible service to the gaming industry.....kinda wish i waited woulda been able to cop this for free lol oh well....

 

[Barantos1]

yeah I am waiting for the new AMD card instead.

 

[Umeed]

yeah I am waiting for the new AMD card instead.

I would have, but amd said they were going to focus on APUs more than GPUs atm, and reassured that statement again in January and that AMD GPUs won't really make a fuss until 2nd quarter of 2015. Any idea which one you're waiting on? or are you waiting to see what they announce? I would have loved to stay AMD (i had 6970 got burned out on WatchDogs launch day cuz that game was so crap and poorly optimized lol) but I couldn't wait another year for one so...yeah....

why CD Projekt ..... WHY? couldnt you go AMD instead Nvidia. i dont want a war now but im sure nvidia gonna cripple dis game for non nvidia users with their Gameworks implementation

I doubt it, cuz they would likely piss off a big portion of their target audience. I'm sure it'll optimize well on AMD cards.

[dstarr3]

Okay FINE, I'll pick up a 980 now.

Those features aren't proprietary and are additional, meaning users don't have to select them and won't cripple performance.

good one, but it'll actually be version 2.5

GTX 970 users will get The Witcher 3.5, right? RIGHT? LEFT?

good one, but it'll actually be version 2.5

yet it still benches exactly the same as before we knew what version it was.

But in some areas we did not test, it will be slow as hell.

 

[cats_Paw]

Ill wait... No reason to hurry up. The game is not even out yet.

 

[fuzzion]

It would fun to benchmark the amazing 780ti OC version vs a 980. I bet it would be on par

No, you'll get the FULL Witcher 3. It's just the last part of the game will run in 16-bit 2D graphics.

 

[Derrick Hodge]

im too late too ibought my gtx 980 classified two weeks ago have witcher preordered though

 

[bruderen]

What areas exactly are you talking about? Anandtech etc are still looking for those corner cases and haven't come up with any yet. There is nothing saying they can't do a driver update to get around it also if one ever come up (anandtech already said this, they do this regularly). Crossbar tech is not new to them, they've been doing this for ages at NV (and amd in a few cases) so are well aware of how to hunt them down and squash them. Since anandtech etc (NV themselves too) is actively looking, let me know when they find a bunch until then, what you said is PURE FUD.
