According to Gametech, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a very demanding title; a title that a single GTX 780Ti struggles to run when higher levels of AA are enabled. As the Russian gaming website noted, the PC version runs currently with all its bells and whistles enabled (plus 8xMSAA) with 35-45fps on a GTX 780Ti at 1080p. Naturally, a single 780Ti is able to hit the 60fps sweet spot in its current form provided MSAA is lowered.

Moreover, it is said that the PS4 version will run at 900p/30fps while the Xbox One version will run at 720p/30fps. What’s also interesting is that the console versions of the game will meet the minimum graphics settings of the PC version. Gametech claimed that The Witcher 3 on consoles will look similar to The Witcher 2.

lol barely 6months into the generation and consoles already getting wiped out technically. Can't imagine a year from now.
 
The hell what happened to all their talk it would look the same across each platform and the new consoles offer so much power? oh well good for PC folk if they got the hardware to max out the game.

Oh I see it's a rumour and nothing more. OK I call BS just who would know this to write a story unless its people working on the game leaking stuff.

Every developer says so and so will look the same. It's always the same BS, just like with the Xbox 360 and PS3. It's time to catch on, people.

8xMSAA that's overkill on this game i bet you can lower it to 4x or 2x and get solid 60FPS on PC.

AA these days is costly. Of course, 8x Msaa is going to be a performance killer. It's a good thing we have SMAA on the PC.
 
Why is the word "Rumour" missing from the thread title ? This is not official news.
 
How on earth can it look the same as The Witcher 2 for the console versions?

They probably mean the console versions will have similar quality from that of W2 PC. W2 on the PC is gorgeous.
 
CD Projekt are the Naughty Dogs of the PC platform. They make quality games, while taking advantage of hardware. The Witcher 2 is a DX9 game and to this day it's still one of the best looking games ever made, next to DX11 games; Metro LL and Crysis 3.

Now more than ever I'm glad I've put away my spendy money away on a new GPU. These consoles are in serious trouble when theyre already falling behind the tech curve. PC to console is the real gap this gen,not PS4 to X1.
 
Holy s*** did I call it!

I was absolutely right on the money 3 months ago! :surprise:
LOL. Kind of sad. These consoles are pathetic power wise. Looks like my superclocked 780 is going to do me just fine. Though 8xMSAA is really overkill and would bog down even a Titan. I'm probably going to lower that to 2x or 4xMSAA or forgo it altogether.
....still probably better implemented than the infamous 'Ubersampling' from W2.

You weren't kidding. Lol
 
This game isn't coming out until 2015, so this is obviously unsubstantiated. There can be only speculation at this point how the game will run on X1/PS4. Sure it wont touch the PC version at maximum settings, but CD Project Red are very talented, and id say the amazing port of The Witcher 2 on the 360 proves that they can get more out of a system than people are expecting. But once again, people like to take things that arent gospel and make it as if they are. Great thread.
 
This makes sense. Witcher 3 is a very big and beautiful game. 900p should ensure a better frame rate.

It's all in good fun dude. Don't take these things so seriously.
The game will look good on each platform...and I HOPE everybody understands that this is a rumor at this point.
EDIT: I see the mods removed the pic I posted here.....does nobody have a sense of humor anymore...??o_O
 
On a positive note (for PC gamer at least), at least CDProject is pushing hard on the details, & not tone down the details to accommodate consoles to get Full HD.

Anyway, I am glad I will be getting a new PC rig (mainly to run UE4, which required a 'beefy desktop PC', Epic's words not mine), but it doesn't hurt it will make for a very good gaming rig.
 
Guess we console jockeys better take those screenshots with a grain of salt.

Edit: Although, this is in the article intro:

"Now before continuing, let us remind you that you are about to read unconfirmed information that you should be taking with a grain of salt."

So, salt all around.

Lets face it man, these types of threads are only good for a few things. Firstly, it gets the fan boys of both consoles all riled up, and kicks resolution gate into overdrive, and secondly, it brings out the PC elitists who think they have it all over the console gamers because "herpidy derp a doo" fill in the blank. Its troll fodder is what im saying, and unless you're new here, you have to know that.

Also, what I stated is true. No one knows what this game is going to look like on consoles when it comes out in 2015. CD Projekt Red could very well optimize the game in a way on X1/PS4 that wows people. Point is, its not about "not having a sense of humor", its about knowing that this will no doubt devolve into the same old tired couch developer thread with people throwing specs at each other. Its f****** boring already.
 
A 780 to alone is also over 700 bucks. For just 200 more we can get both xb1 and ps4.
 
Yea 8 x MS AA is alot, especially in today's world where almost every engine has deferred rendering in which MS AA cost is even higher.
