razor0512: Hi, I just started playing TW2 and I get extremely low framerates no matter what settings I use and I just about meet the recommended requirements.
My specs:
Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66 Ghz
3GB DDR2 RAM
HD 4850 512MB
The "auto-detect" sets the game to High Spec and I get 22 FPS in the starting area just outside the tent. After setting everything to Low Spec with everything disabled I only get about 25 FPS in that same area so I'm starting to think it might be my CPU causing this. Any thoughts?
Performance problems with ATI/AMD graphics cards are fairly common at the moment. Try applying the latest hotfix-drivers (and look out for another one, AMD said they're going to release another hotfix especially for The Witcher 2 soon). If that doesn't help, try switching the game to windowed mode, for now.
