mw86 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 That's nice of you to post Steven... What makes it for Witcher 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted May 17, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 17, 2011 What huge waste of time.. COD MW2.. can't even spawn without kids and tubes blowing up everywhere. F'that shit right now. un-installed in less than 30 seconds thanks to steam. For those worried about this crap game, 90fps average. Good riddance to this pos.StevenXLove the career mode, couldn't agree more on the the multiplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Some optimizations included in the driver apparently. Folks are reporting HUGE gains with it. Witcher 2 is supposed to be a beast to run at higher levels. I said I wasn't going to get it but I might just break down and buy it now... Nothing like a challenge to get it to run at close to max levels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I have never ever seen a driver make such a difference... from 11 to 40 fps???Guru3D.com Forums - View Single Post - Nvidia GeForce Beta 275.27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I dont usually play any multiplayer... but I think that is going to change with my new system, T |I and Steam! I usually just enjoy the story and scenes on the single player modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 So I feel it should be mentioned that both Nvidia on this driver release and AMD on their last on showed very much the same... a huge increase in performance just from a driver update! KUDOS to both Nvidia and AMD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenxowens792 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 The Witcher 2 is a very beautiful game so far. I am finally past the "intro" chapters and into chapter 1. The city is amazing, the colors, the effect. My settings are all high, LOD minimal, all items enabled minus SSAO, Uber, Vsync and AA. I am over 30fps 90percent of the time. Rarely does it dip below. I fell horrible for the m11x folks as this game will bring your notebooks to their knees. It's pretty fun so far. Still getting used to the combat. I will try to put up some screenshots soon. Still very busy at work and home. My son is special needs and it takes up a lot of time.BW, StevenX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an album of Witcher 2 pics. Game is just so amazing... I just stand and look and take screenshots because it's just awe inspiring.

Stevenxowens792 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) FYI - I like others were experiencing decreasing performance in game and had no idea to the cause. It appears that my game (retail) has the horrible secureROM mess for validation. You have to replace your executable and paul.dll (the ones I used were from GOG) and it works. I am NOT suggesting you use CRACKS and if their is an issue of validity I will be happy to post pics of my limited ed box with soundtrack and game guide. What I am saying is that CDprojeKt better figure out how to fix this. After replacing the executables and DLL's im back put to around 36 fps in flotsam minus SSAO and AA/AF.Thanks,StevenX Edited May 24, 2011 by Stevenxowens792 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanGod Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Should I bother with the Beta Nvidia Drivers (275.27) for The Witcher 2?Is there a noticeable difference from the latest stable drivers they have out now. (270.61) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Titan - I like the 275 drivers so far myself. Witcher 2 is running great for me. Dont know if it's any worse than 270.61 whql. Im going to stick with these I think for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Nice video I like the first Witcher so I'll have to try that one too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 COD Black Ops is a different experience than Mw2. I can get on a server, have decent games, not too much tube spam. The performance is worse but the game play is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Can you post a couple screen shots or maybe small video.. I like Dirt 2 a lot wondering how Dirt 3 looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
