Well i'm satisfied with these :

Funny thing is that it is better suited for games :)

Of course it does. I think it is just the usual Super Sampling Anti Aliasing filter. Super Sampling Anti Aliasing is one of the oldest Anti Aliasing filters available but also the best looking one, even in this days there is nothing better for Anti Aliasing than just Super Sampling everything (except Sub Pixel Super Sampling Anti Aliasing :P). The main problem of this filter is just that it takes much more performance than most others, thats why the other worse looking ones even got invented.

Super Sampling means that everything just gets rendered in a higher resolution. 4x Super Sampling Anti Aliasing means that a game at 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) would be rendered at 3840 x 2160 (4k HD) and scaled down afterwards (every edge gets smoothed, even on alpha textures). Look for example at the distant fence (zoom in if you dont see it) here:

without SSA: http://solidlystated.com/content/2011/10/witcher2uber-off.bmp
In motion you see the effect even better (especially on stuff like distant fences or distant / dense treetops). Also the effect (on usual edges) is greater the closer you sit in front of your screen, the lower the resolution is and the bigger the screen is or at least the better your eyes are.

Todays graphics cards are usually to slow for such high resolutions (especially NVidia GPUs tend to be to slow in high resolutions or Anti Aliasing at all) at actual games. But in older games Super Sampling is usually not that problem, especially with ATI GPUs that perform better in higher resolutions or with Anti Aliasing at all. But if your GPU is able to handle 4k resolution very well you wont have any problems in playing 4x Super Sampling at Full HD. I even doubt that 4x SS is used, I think they use the usual 2x SS = even less performance is necessary.

Older games that run with high FPS should run very well with Super Sampling Anti Aliasing, the problem here is just that most older games dont support it out of the box (for most of them there exist still ways to activate it). The day where Witcher 2 is an old game and even slow (integrated) GPUs can render it smoothly and where you could activate this option without getting low framerates will come (especially when 4k resolutions arent anything special anymore).

But dont mix Super Sampling Anti Aliasing where everything is rendered in a higher resolution and scaled down with the filters used for example in DosBox to scale up a game that is rendered in a smaller resolution. This are 2 completely different things, even if both render in another resolution and scale afterwards. Super Sampling adds new Details while the other one just tries to improve the given details, even if they maybe wont fit everyones taste.

Also it is complete bullshit to remove options just because some people cant use them. You know that options can be turned off or on and thats why they are called options? If you dont want it, dont activate it, its that easy. If every game company would think like you demand you would be even unable to change the resolution (like in old bad developed games), because most actual games wont run at 4k HD today too, so should they also remove the option to play games (maybe in the future) with this resolution?

That's true of course. I am fine playing The Witcher 2 "now" with ubersampling disabled, and maybe replay it in 5-10 years from now with it on. :) Similarly like I replayed Half-life 2 earlier this year with everything maxxed out (even features that didn't exist in HL2 back when it was originally released), it looked considerably better than back then.

I know some people have a problem with the idea of playing something without it being maxxed out, but I can get over it. Some things in visual quality are more important to me than others.

It seemed to indeed have some effect when you were able to look at it side by side on the page where I linked. Harder to discern the difference if you have to go change the setting in between.

It was a interesting tidbit that Geforce graphics cards would have more problems in the rendering speed part, meaning higher resolutions and antialiasing stuff. My newest gaming laptop is the first NVidia Geforce system I've ever had.

Now back to Icewind Dale (which looks fine by the way in 800x600 with all graphics options maxxed out :))...

Shut up and take my money!

if i can run witcher 2 on medium setting can i run witcher 3 on low to very low ( dont care about how it looks, all i wanna do is play)

Waiting for gog.com release date so I can do a TW1&2 marathon a few days prior.

ps. this video doesn't reveal enough, give us moar!

agreed

Witcher 3 is going to be the big test for me. If i can run this game on medium/high settings ill keep my PC for another year or two. I doubt other games will be resource heavy as Witcher 3 considering im only looking forward to three or four other games in 2014. Stuff like Dark Souls 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, Thief 4 and Titanfall.

I have my figures crossed, I really dont want to sink much money in upgrades right now.

The Witcher 3, I know how this will end... I already own three versions of the first two, Gog, Steam and the Boxed Platinum/Enhanced Editions and this will be no different...

I bet that in a few years time there will even be a Witcher Collection Box and that too will be in my home.

Thankfully I don't have to buy them all at the same time though.

Oh, I will require a new PC for this game but that doesn't change anything. Consider my money to be your money, dear developer.

Yes to the game; no to the VGX special trailer.

Yep, the Killing Monsters trailer's better than that one.

I have been recently burned for preordering and pledged myself not to do it ever again. But as soon as this game is released you can count on my money!

I'm a bit concerned about performance, since I can barely run The Witcher 2 with very reduced settings. But oh boy. If it's worth it I will definitely save for a new computer.

I'm a huge Elder Scrolls fan and (open world rpgs for what it matters), even got 3 copies of Skyrim (Original from 2011, Legendary Edition and the Anthology).

Witcher 3 is gonna be the best open world game I'll ever play.

I'll need a new graphics card for such a game, my 560ti just doesn't do justice.

Dear CD Project RED,

Feel free to put the game on preorder soon, my wallet is ready <3

This is the game I'm waiting for ...
I already know I won't be disapointed.
It might even be the first game I will pre-order.
