Hi folks. I have a PC with the following specs:

GeForce GTX 660
Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.40GHz
8 GB RAM

It looks like I meet the minimum requirements for the PC version, but not the recommended ones. Given that, do you think I would have a better time with the PS4 version of the game? Thanks in advance for your advice.

My pc meets only a single requirement and it's the memory. I have an HD 7850 and an i3-3220(both which are below min spec) and that game runs 30fps on with setting on high(obviously minus the hairworks stuff) fine. Sure in the swamps or when it rains it drops maybe 10 fps but it does the exact same on the PS4 and it runs pretty solid 95% of the time. So between superior ui controls and greatly enhanced load times there is no reason to play this game on a console if you can manage otherwise.

I would say just get it on ps4. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-the-best-pc-hardware-for-the-witcher-3

You can reference that article. With your card you could run console settings(mostly medium) at about 30fps. I'd imagine it's better to go ps4, you know what you're getting there. So many things running on your pc can mess that up.

I played the first part of the game on a gtx660, 8gb of ram and an i7-950 and the game ran absolutely fine on medium plus a few high settings. Go check some videos of the game on medium/high on pc and some ps4 footage and compare them so you can see what you prefer :)

Thanks for the feedback. So it looks like the game may run smoothly on medium. I'll look up some videos and see if I can compare medium PC vs. PS4. I may just go PS4 just to avoid risk, but actually, Steam does have that new return policy, so it may be worth giving it a shot on PC first. I wish more games had tools like the one you could download for Final Fantasy XIV that would run through some game sequences and tell you how your computer did on various settings.

Thanks again for the feedback.

I would get it on PC simply because you will get updates quicker and Mods(Some that have fixed glitches before patches come out). The performance will be about the same but you will have the option to switch on/off settings for even better performance on PC as well.

If you can run it even on medium on PC, you should get it on PC. You can tailor the performance to meet your standards and you will get updates much quicker.

I have essentially the same specs, and it runs perfectly fine for me on PC.

PC version pretty stable now. plus new Gwent cards this week yes best type of DLC

Id go with PC it runs pretty damn well. I have a 770, and run the textures on ultra, with most the other stuff on medium at about 40-45 FPS. Your card should run it better then a PS4.

@alamun: If getting it on PC, get it through GOG. The return policy is much better and you get direct support.

I have your GPU, your processor and your RAM and I can run it on medium settings at 35-40 FPS (but on a lower resolution because I don't mind 1680x1050. This detail might make all the difference for you, I dunno).

If you're an old school PC player who likes his mouse and keyboard, bro, it's fantastic with mouse and keyboard, so that's a reason for you.

An ancient i5 750 and HD7850 (with only 1GB of RAM) and very smooth gameplay (unquantified) at 900p with medium specs and terrain+water on high. I'd get it on PC if I were you, especially if you have an SSD. Even on my computer the worst load time was at most 20s and they are usually around 10s.

Wow, looks like a lot of folks have similar specs and run the game fine. I think I'm good to get it on PC. Thanks everyone!
