Witcher 2 on PC

[TheRohanJC2]

I upgraded my setup recently, and I have been trying out various gaming titles. I came upon Witcher 2, but as it's commonly known, Witcher 2 is not optimized for PC. I cannot play on Ultra even when I have the specs for it. I tried many manipulations and settings (disable ubersampling, anti-aliasing etc) but not much effect. I have been able to get about 40-70 fps on low settings, and I have been playing like that. But I am really annoyed at this, that I cannot play such a great game with its full beauty. So my question is, is it really worth it? Or shall I just move on?

Witcher 2 runs fine with everything maxed (except Ubersamping) on my 2600k/GTX 770 (2GB). What are your specs?

That's why; Witcher 2 (and 3) are more CPU intensive then most, and I believe those older Nahalem based i3's don't have HTT. You are running into a CPU bottleneck.

My CPU is 319% (source: game-debate) better than the minimum required for witcher 2. So i should be able to play smoothly on minimum settings. But i cant. So is this the game's problem?

Minimum = Will start. Trust me, a first gen i3 can't handle the game.

Thats's really very sad. I really wanted to play the game. (The way its meant to be played )
