Hi, i post here after trying every possible way to play the game normally.

I read the sticky about 3dVision causing the terrible lag issues, and i did as written :

- Clean uninstall of every NVIDIA related app from my programs and harddrive
- Clean install with 275.27 driver WITHOUT 3dVision (even without PhysX).

Stil the same.. I also tried :

- Related driver 275.33 WITH and WITHOUT 3dVision/PhysX installed.
- Latest drivers available from Nvidia control panel (stable and beta) WITH and WITHOUT 3dVision/PhysX installed.
- Even tried the "bcdedit /set onecpu on" thing from dos cmd, by any chance.

Still the same.. My game is totally unplayable with terrible framerate, even on the lowest config available on the launcher.

I still have the first one Witcher to play from the awesome christmas offer so it leave me some time to learn how to fix the 2nd game, but here i am already.. It has been 4 to 5 hours i am browsing forums and rebooted my Pc for Nvidia install countless times.

Please, help me!

Edit : Forgot some specs :

MS Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2
AMD Phenom 9100e Quad-Core Processor, 4.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce G100

Game running on 1280x1024 - 5:4 - Medium settings

Not to put too fine an edge on it, but your video card is crap. It's basically a rebranded 9400, which is a terrible gaming solution. In short, your card can't handle the game as it doesn't meet the minimum requirements.

Oh crap is that so? It is like 2-3 years old i got it as replacement unit from my store they couldn't fix my previous ACER for months. I could tell it was cheap but it used to handle WoW just fine back at Lich King time, and my good old ScummVM games of course. The Witcher 1 is playing alright only a bit choppy but 2nd is.. No way :/

Err.. Another opinions maybe? Or is it just my Pc that smells hobo's asses! >.<

The G100 is just not enough for a modern high-end game like Witcher 2. It's not just its age, it was already a low-end card when it came out a few years ago and today it is hopelessly underpowered. Your Phenom CPU is probably fast enough for Witcher 2 when paired with a good graphics card.

I didn't mean to offend, so apologies if I did. But that card is not good for gaming and wasn't when it came out. Your problems are everything to do with the card itself and nothing to do with drivers or other settings. I'm afraid your only solution is to upgrade the card.

Hehe no offense taken, at least i can stop trying to configure that old cheap card as i was thinking about a driver issue at first. Oh well game is sitting on my shelf it won't be far, meanwhile i'll still be able to enjoy the first one to some extent. Thanks for the quick replies! :)

I would give it another try with 275.33 installed with low/medium settings and 1024x768. If the card has 512MB on board and not a 256+256 shared DDR2 memory it is only a tick slower than my 9500 card and dual/core processor which runs with Vista 64 and 8 Gigs of Ram without any trouble on medium. Vista 32 is memory intensive and you may wish to shut down some processes which may be causing it to hiccup. I shut down all Media, Anti-Virus, Print Spoolers, Java+Windows+misc. updaters and take the machine offline while I play TW2 to reduce the neverending Micro$oft intrusions. I also pause when running in graphic intesive safe areas to allow the graphics to catch up. For Example: entering Flotsdam; it may take a second or two to re-write all of the backgroud. Still worth the wait in my opinion to play this excellent game.

No, the OP's card is much slower, nothing at all like even a 9500 GT.

Counting RAM to determine how fast your graphics card is, is like measuring the size of your tires to determine how fast your car is.

The G100 is an 8-shader card. That's all the pixels it can work on at one time. The 9500 GT (which is the same as the GT120) is a 32-shader card. In theory, though it doesn't measure out quite as well in practice, it's 4 times as fast as the G100.

Since the 9500 GT can just sort of run the game, the G100 is hopeless. A suitable modern upgrade from a G100 would be to a GT 440. I wouldn't go higher, not with that slow CPU.

Yes even with lowest resolution and settings i have tried t would play with a really low frame rate.

The first Witcher is smooth with default settings so im good for now haha, second will wait for a new graphic card or computer another day, no problem!

Thanks for the help and concern guys, great GOG community. :)
