I still can't believe that so much graphic detail made it into the 360 version. These guys REALLY know what they're doing.

Took an eternity to upgrade to Enhanced yesterday. For some reason the updater wanted to download 21 gb when it was supposed to download half of that.

Got some hours in though and looks promising so far, very pretty game, especially Triss ;).

Combat is challenging without being to hard. I'm playing on Normal, the higher diffs must be really tough.

Also saw the enhanced edition of this game running today on a pretty powerful pc, and I gotta say, what horrible, horrible performance... Is this game not remotely optimized, or what? He was running an i7 cpu with 32GB of ram, and a radeon 6870 GPU, and I shit you not, couldn't get more than 5 fps. Yikes. Was planning a purchase, but definitely holding off after seeing that.

If his pc can't handle this game, mine

i5 2500k
16GB of ram
Radeon 6870

Sure as hell can't handle it, either. He tried high-spec settings, medium spec settings. Disabled Anisotrophic filtering, disabled aa, disabled catalyst AI, attempted to run the game in windowed mode, but not sure if he ever succeeded at getting that done. I'd love to play it on my pc, but if that's how it performs, the 360 version might be the safer buy.

Is anyone in here running the enhanced edition on their pc successfully? If so, please mention what specs you have, or if you did anything special to get it running right.

Runs fine on my pc with same cpu as yours and a GTX570 and 8gb ram. What you have to do if you don't have SLI or a really powerful GPU is to disable "Ubersampling" which basically puts several hi-res textures on top of eachother.

Probably some driver problem or that ubersampling like asdfg said.

I think ubersampling is just fancy name for supersampling.

My PC is Q6600@3.2GHZ, 4GB RAM and 560ti

He definitely had ubersampling off, and the issue of slow framerate remained.. I've checked out a number of videos and reviews, and I'm pretty damn excited about this one right now. Maybe it's just a issue with his pc. Although, I'm not quite sure what that could be. He built that computer of his as recently as last week, and the OS install is still pretty fresh.

I'm pretty eager to give this one a shot, to be honest.

He had the latest 12.3 drivers from AMD, from what I saw. And you guys are actually playing the "enhanced edition" of the game?

I think we all have nvidia cards. Just sayin'. Wouldn't be the first game that had issues on AMD. Something definitely sounds fishy though. Are you sure he didn't accidentally build a 486?

Haha, a 486. That's oldschool :P

Nope, he has an absolute monster rig. 32GB of Corsair RAM. Intel Core I7 CPU, forgot which specifically, and he has the same gpu as me, Radeon HD 6870. Maybe something is wrong with his pc or something, I don't know. Maybe he's just an isolated incident. I just seriously hope it isn't the case that my GPU is just screwed with this game, for whatever reason.

I wonder if it's accidentally running off of his iGPU? Maybe that's what's going on. Because he's running that virtu control panel thing that does automatic GPU switching. Maybe he needs to disable that thing, and get rid of his dual monitor setup. Maybe it's causing issues with the game.

It's mega-overkill for gaming but, for graphic design every gig counts.

Why would you be using the on board GPU at all? You can run two monitors with one 6870.

Well, apparently video conversion is significantly faster for him when he uses intel media sync through his onboard GPU. I personally haven't really tested myself to be certain of if that is true or not.

And the second reason, similar to my own reason for running both the Radeon 6870 and the onboard GPU simultaneously, is the fact that my monitor, the Samsung 2233rz, can only reach it's max potential of 120hz at 1680x1050 resolution when plugged into the top dvi port on the Radeon 6870. He also has the same Samsung monitor. By plugging his Samsung monitor into the Radeon 6870's top dvi port, he's able to get full 120hz. And by connecting his second monitor to the onboard GPU's dvi port, he's able to run his samsung at 120hz at the same time that he's using a dual monitor setup.

If you attempt to connect both monitors to the radeon 6870, one of two things will happen.

#1 120hz monitor plugged into main port and works, the second monitor simply won't pull a picture. Guess the first monitor hogs all the resources.

#2 You can run both monitors at the same time. However, the 120hz needs to be plugged into the second, less capable dvi-port on the 6870, and the less impressive monitor has to be plugged into the better port. You have a working dual monitor setup in this case, but it will be impossible for the 120hz monitor to actually reach 120hz. 120hz only works in the first port. So for anyone wanting to use their 120hz monitor at 120hz, the onboard GPU workaround is a necessary evil.

One Radeon 6870 is fine for dual monitor if you don't mind not running your 120hz at full capability. Now, if one of the monitors actually used HDMI, then I suppose that would be one way of solving the dual monitor issue. I'll probably end up grabbing an HDMI equipped monitor down the road.

LOL it's apparently running incredibly on his PC now, and all he had to do was restart his computer...

I've seen that be an issue for specific programs, but I've never seen it impact the performance of a game so much before. Guess this game is one such case.
