So I just picked up my Premium Edition copy earlier, totally in love with all the extra stuff (bonus DVD, soundtrack, manuals and guides, map, papercraft papers etc..), and I just played for 30 minutes and I'm soooooo looking forward to continuing Geralt's story. The combat grew on my instantly, i love the control schemes and world/movement physics, and I also find the aesthetics and visual style to be charming!  
However, when in close-up on an object or a piece of armor, or even Geralt's body, I couldn't help but notice that the detail simply.. stinks. 
 
I got the game maxed out (ubersampling off), 40-50 FPS and in combat it drops to 30.
Here are some examples of the bad detail: (Click to enlarge)

. Look at that bland detail-less stone

You have texture Downscaling set to high. Set it to none.

Yeah, that looks worse than my game, and I run it on a 8800GTS.

Yep, the downscaling is killing it. Geralt's body looked way better than that when I played it on medium.

Let's never speak of this again.
