Engerek01: Thanks alot. Thats very close to the laptop i have in mind. I may go for Acer tho.
Then watch out for the cooling. So far from what i saw the MSI dominator and the Asus Rog laptops had adequate cooling solutions. Is the Acer Predator available already? That one looks promising.

RWarehall: You also might do better posting this question in the Witcher 3 forum rather than General Discussion. Not all Goglodytes have an interest in the newest games as they release as many are into Good Old Games. At least in that forum, you should be pretty sure almost everyone is actually playing the game.
I posted the question there first. But after not getting any answers for 2 days, i posted here. I got my answer from other means but i always like to get as much observations as possible before making a decision.

Yes. Cooling will be a problem. I will probably buy a cooling thing while i am playing games. I dont know about Predator. It looks like Desktop only which i have little interest nowadays. :) I will probably go for.

Acer VN7-791G-78M4
Intel Core i7 4710HQ
Nvidia GeForce GTX860M
16GB RAM

Engerek01:
There is rumour about a Predator branded Laptop series, but I don't think they are out yet... anyway about the GTX860m:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-860M.107794.0.html
It would be playable, but on lower resolutions or settings, not 1080p.

Hmmmmm. Maybe I should wait for the Predators. I am not in a hurry anyways.

Notebookcheck.net is my favorite website with tomhardsware.com. The reason I picked 860M is because the price of the laptops in Turkey goes from 3 thousand to 8 thousand when you change 860M to 980M. And there is no other graphics card between. Atleast not in the stores i have deal with. I am only thinking Nvidia cards and 1366x768 Medium Graphics is fine for me.

Your choice of course. The 980M is much more expensive, but it does offer a bigger bang for the buck. In my case the investment was well worth it, I'm about 80 hours in The Witcher 3 and I still haven't finished the game. Also I think it's future-proof, thus I don't think I'll have problems for the next 2-3 years. Afterwards we'll see.
At low settings, 635m can barely run Witcher 3. But eh, it runs, better than nothing (my laptop).

I have a better laptop to play though but too lazy to move it there.
Well it will soon be an i7 6700K / 16 Gig DDR4 / MSI Gaming 6G GeForce GTX 980Ti

I haven't had an upgrade in damn 3 years and the old laptop is getting a bit long in the tooth

My old i7 3xxx with Geforce 650M didn't run it al all well - to bring in the laptop part

I have intel 4770k normal hard drive, normal value ram ddr 3 and asus gtx 760 which runs the game pretty much fine and it hasn't crashed ever. some stuff has happened but not much trouble.. I seem to recall that Dragon age inquisition was harder on my machine than W3 even tough they have recommonded requirements in really another dimension.

I really have a good computer just gpu is a bit old and cheap.

Still.. I rather put some settings on lower than buy over 400 euro gpu just now.

Edit: Oh.. This isn't a laptop, which kinda original post says that he wants to know about those.

dick1982: no.
What are you talking about, everyone if they have the means to play it. Was it console or what not they should at least try it.
For reference, my aging gaming laptop (ASUS G75VW with Geforce GTX 670M) seems to run The Witcher 3 passably, at least the beginning parts I've played with it.

In my case "passably" means running in 1280x720 resolution, settings mostly at medium IIRC (but some options disabled altogether), and at around 24-30 frames per second. Playable and pretty enough in my eyes, but your mileage may vary.

I was happy because I was expecting TW3 to be unplayable even in the lowest settings, but fortunately that wasn't the case.

It's true, all those settings the resolution aka monitor size kinda matter most of all.
Thanks alot guys. Very nice answers here. You can also type your desktops as well as laptops.
On the system I posted above (and I'm going to post again because epeen++ :P)

i7 6700K @ 4GHz
16 gig 2400 (I think) DDR4
MSI Gaming GeForce 980Ti

2560x1440

Details - everything maxed

FPS - 45 - 70ish (with GSYNC so can't tell the drops anyway)
