Yikes, my CPU (an i5 2500k) is right at that lower threshold.

If you have a good GPU, I wouldn’t be worried. The AMD CPU in the minimum requirements is considerably less powerful than the i5 2500k, and the recommended CPU is about only 14% more powerful for typical applications. I doubt it’s a heavily CPU bound game.

For the record, mine is a i5 4430, which is similar to a 2500k.

Yeah, I’ve been surprised at what a powerful old beast of a CPU the 2500K is.

Amazing.

Wow, it looks good…

robc04 · 2015-05-13T13:22:10.000Z

oh crap! My core i7 860 is rated lower than i5 2500K

Paul_cze · 2015-05-13T13:25:08.000Z

2500K is a legend, I have it at 4ghz with stock box cooler and I have zero doubt it will run TW3 and every other game this generation like a champ.
My worry is 280X, which should handle PS4-like graphics/res at 60fps, but I want more than that, so I will end up ordering that 970 anyway god dammit.
If only stupid AMD moved their ass and released 390, but latest rumors say E3…bleh

lordkosc · 2015-05-13T13:34:41.000Z

2600k is the legend :p
Mine has been stable @ 4.4Ghz for like 3 years now.

So CDPR are putting out a live action mini-film tomorrow?

ALSO , collectors editions are back in stock @ Gamestop.

Looks like it. And I gotta say the teaser looked pretty amazing.

So, what do you guys use to overclock your CPUs? I have 0% knowledge about overclockng a CPU.

rhamorim · 2015-05-13T14:02:22.000Z

I never overclock. So I’m afraid I can’t help you at all.

I used this a few years back, it should still apply.

A new cpu heatsink/fan. I have a Noctua.

And the bios itself. Nothing else.

Well, technically also a software like Prime95 to stress test the cpu speed and be sure it’s stable.

Was this Ciri cosplay posted yet? (SFW)

[Album] Ciri (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt) Cosplay.

Saw it over on Reddit today. :D

robc04 · 2015-05-13T15:30:29.000Z

I’ve got an MSI motherbaord which has OC Genie so I thought I’d give it a try. It didn’t go well as my idle temps climbed into the 70s. I shut down and turned it off. My guess is that I really shouldn’t attempt to overclock with the stock CPU heat sink and fan. My case has some nice big fans but my guess is that isn’t enough.

lordkosc · 2015-05-13T15:35:32.000Z

I’d just give the game a shot without overclocking, I am pretty sure you will be just fine.

Interesting. I want to read that dammit. Send me a link or something :)

I think he’s talking about this guy (to be clear, he is a quest designer, and has stated numerous times that he doesn’t speak for his company when he posts)
Probably have to have a SA account. If so, I’ll quote what he said

“Downgrade” is not a part of the development process, it’s entirely made-up by people who have never worked in dev and have no idea how anything actually works. Not speaking specifically of our game, but the thing is that promotional stuff is fake, it’s always been fake and will always be fake. But it’s not like, completely made up bullshit. It’s saying, “Hey, this is what we think the game will look like when it comes out, but obviously we can’t show you what it will actually look like, because it’s not fucking done yet.”

People are taking stuff from years before release and getting worked up about downgrade. No, not how it works. Never how it worked, never will work that way. It’s not like the movies, where 95% of the movie hasn’t even been shot yet, but you’ve got a couple of scenes or shots that are complete enough to show; a year before a game is released there’s nothing that can be shown to the general public or even the press. Anytime you are seeing something that far out, that was made for the express purpose of showing it to people. There is no downgrade.

I’m not speaking specifically of our company, and actually we’ve done a really really good job of showing things that are representative of the finished product.

Though I’m super glad that people are excited enough about this game to get worked up over VFX on reddit or whatever. The game is awesome, it looks awesome, you’ll fucking love it.

I find that explanation misleading. “Downgrade” isn’t really about the technical aspects, it’s about being sold a bill of goods that doesn’t deliver. If you’re going to show target renders then state it plainly. Pre-release game trailers lately are getting to be as useless as pure CGI trailers.

That’s not to say the final game isn’t fun or gorgeous, just that I’d like to know what I’m going to get. It makes me sad because I’d love to play the game that was in the trailers for Dark Souls 2, Watch Dogs, Unity, or Bioshock Infinity (and lets add The Division while we’re at it). I’m tired of being over-promised.
