Ok so I torrented The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to see if I liked it and I ended up playing about 4 hours and loved it. So I deleted the torrent and all its files except for the saved games in documents and bought the actual game start it up(after placing my previous saved game in the correct place) and got into the game and notice that it performance is way crappier than the torrent I was playing. In the real game my CPU hits maybe less than 50% and GPU hits 100%. In the torrent both were on the side of 100% and the game played beautifully. In the Torrent my GPU was hitting its max clock, using 100% of its memory and everything was great. In the actual game I was getting 100% GPU usage BUT not even half the memory was used. Please help I want to play this game so bad but its annoying now that I'm only getting 25-30 FPS compared to 50-60+ what I was getting on the torrent. I also have all of the free DLC.

PC:
GTX 780
AMD Phenom II x6 1090T
8GB Ram
1920x1080 Screen at 60hz
Game installed with GOG on an SSD

Looking at processor and graphics card, it is quite likely that the pirated version had done away with some details and/or resolution lowering the game demands.
I'm pretty sure others would agree that you cannot play it on high detail.

past that I cannot think of a good reason why bought version would run slower.
Question is, what were the detail levels and resolution before/after?

I never touched any of the setting except for looking at them, the part that I don't understand is that my GPUs vram isn't even half used in the real game and in the torrented game it used 99% of it
