I surmise that one might have a chance to run it with a card maybe in the 3,000's with luck. Recommended 770 (rated 6148) or a R9 290 (rated 6561)Ĭlearly that will not run the game. Sadly we, ordinary gamers, do not have an option to buy several various models to select proper ones, and relying on internet sources may unearth rather unpleasant surprises, like that one with 3.5Gb VRAM case - how many reviewers reported it? As I said, its a guide and I did mention ballparks.įor Witcher 3, GTX 660 is minimum (rated 4118) or an AMD 7870 (rated 4257) I can't say what's the problem, either those specific Nvidia GPUs we bought for tests, or lack of any real advantage, contrary to every consultants' opinion, but I don't really see that "power overwhelming" from GTX.


Not sure famous 3.5Gb issue is the case, really. Green one may be faster for certain games and apps, yet it may be slower (and much slower even) in another, and in most cases we speak about single-digit FPS value and milliseconds (not even seconds) in terms of work applications (CAD and other suites you can find in construction industry). According to that site, GTX 970 outperforms R9 290x at about 20%, yet real tests we've performed do not support that (as well as some Internet hardware review sources). RudyLis: Problem is that these ratings do not always represent head-to-head performance in applications (and I don't mean gaming only).

RWarehall: I don't have an article on it, but what I do is go by Benchmark charts like this one.Įven if it isn't perfect, it gives an idea where you might be at.
