Witcher 3 requirements

[The D man]

I built a monster PC November of last year with 2 980s, 4790k and a sweet ROG Swift monitor. And I saw those requirements are finally out. What do you guys think?

Minimum

Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz
AMD CPU Phenom II X4 940
Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 660
AMD GPU Radeon HD 7870
RAM 6GB
OS 64-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows 8 (8.1)
DirectX 11
HDD Space 40 GB

Recommended System Requirements

Intel CPU Core i7 3770 3,4 GHz
AMD CPU AMD FX-8350 4 GHz
Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 770
AMD GPU Radeon R9 290
RAM 8GB
OS 64-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows 8 (8.1)
DirectX 11
HDD Space 40 GB

You have a nice pc that you could already tell will run it without an issue based on the recommended specs.

If you can't tell that it will run fine by looking at your specs and the requirements you posted, then you are an idiot. If you are only posting because you want people to see you talk about the build you did and be impressed then you failed at that too. Since a single 980 would run witcher 3 maxed out easily, you flushed money down the toilet by getting 2 of them. Good job.

Chill the fuck out. I meant what do you guys though of the specs for Witcher 3 not about my build. I know what mine can do. Since there's not much on Witcher 3 on this forum, I figured I would start a topic for Witcher 3 fans. Obviously that's not you. So before you go rant and insult people, try to understand what I'm asking.

I think the system requirements are pretty much spot on according to the scope of the world in The Witcher 3 and the how beautiful the graphics are. It looks like The Witcher 3 may favor Nvidia GPU's though because a R9 290 and GTX 770 are not quite of the same caliber. But finally! A next-gen triple AAA game that doesn't require 4-6 GB of VRAM. I'm pretty happy with the system requirements since I pretty much exactly meet the recommended requirements. My build consists of a GTX 770 4 GB Superclocked, i5-4690k, 8GB 1600 MHz RAM, and Windows 7 64-bit. I'm curious as to what frames I'll get. I game with a 1080p monitor so it should be interesting. I'm just glad The Witcher 3 doesn't have absurd system requirements like AC Unity. Great game though in my opinion.

doubtful the witcher 3 pushes the i5 2500k, I'm sure with ubersampling, long draw distances, and shadows ontop of shadows it will push powerful GPU cards. At the same time, the game runs on a PS4/xbox one and I'm sure it scales well to run on most hardware. Ranking the 2500k with a phenom II x4 940 and FX-8 with a i7 was a gift to AMD as the FX-8 at best keeps up with the 2500k and the Intel Q9xxx series would be the equivalent of the phenom II x4 940.

I've played the witcher and witcher 2, the latter on a GTX460 and GTX760. Funny thing, I enjoyed the witcher 2 exactly the same on both cards.

My 3570k/660 ran witcher 2 at max settings with just AA bumped down to 4x just fine, So I expect high settings in witcher 3 to be fine.
