can someone help me set up the best possible settings for me , i think my graphics card is just bearly up to par and i'm not sure how to tweak it to run better i'd just shell out a money for a new card normally but i'm unemployed atm ( no better time to play than while job hunting really) anyway , heres are my specs.

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core i7 4770 @ 3.40GHz 31 °C
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard
Hewlett-Packard 2AF3 (SOCKET 0) 28 °C
Graphics
SANYO LCD (1920x1080@60Hz)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (Unknown) 39 °C

I would recommend:
1. Install Geforce Experience.
2. Install new driver.
3. select the auto optimize in Gfexperience.
Basicly it will modify all the settings to fit with your computer.

ahh forgot that thing existed , thanks i'll give that a go

I will rip my rig apart if you can play this game! *hehe*

Maybe lowest settings?

Reduce screen resolution too.

I wouldn't even bother with the GeForce Experience at this point; optimization is all over the place. I was hoping for a better launch. I honestly think it might be Nvidia's new driver more so than CDPR slacking on optimization. Now to wait and see if they acknowledges the issues plaguing the game currently.

looks like even if i wanted to try optimizing with mine i can't anyway :/

I found that the options the game chose for me worked.. it's like it did some kind of hardware check and picked the right settings for me.. it even chose the most appropriate AO for my setup.. very impressed that the game works as well as it does even though I am below min. specs.

it seemed ok for me at 1st till 1 of the first cut scenes/dialogue and the lips seemed off , restarted it again since posting this and it seems fine now , no lag in that area but controls feel pretty crappy/ delayed

yeah a number of people reporting sluggish controls.. even people with better setups.

yeah seen a couple things about it , guess i'll just wait for now n see if they adress that before trying to play again , its a pain really i kno i'm not alone but i pre-ordered this last june so its kinda like really? i just wanna play it. :/

Well you have a really crapy CG for gaming.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 640. If you want to play games, you should buy GTX.
