Need help with witcher 2. I updated it to 1.2 and still get bad framerate even at lowest possible graphic settings. I have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 5200+ 2.7 ghz, 2 gb ram and Nvidia 9500gt graphic card. I know it's not a very good system, but i was able to run Mass Effect 2, Dragon age 2 and almost any other game on highest or high settings (minus the aa). Can i somehow play witcher 2 on pc, or should i just wait for it to come out for xbox360?

How bad is the frame rate? I imagine you should get 20 fps ish with that setup, depending on your resolution

Try installing the latest nvidia drivers and the 1.2 update. 

That's a pretty pants set up that's why. This game is pretty hardware intensive.

@Cimi93x: TURN OFF Ubersampling if that is on, even if you had a gtx580 that setting will kill the frame rate.

@Cimi93x: Running the game at max I get a solid framerate it seems scalable but I haven't tried it myself on a lower end system, maybe you need to clean your system up I am serious your specs aren't AWFUL, defrag run scans do that jazz if you haven't been. Other than that sorry dude.

I don't know, but you should be able to have a pretty looking game with those specs. Here, this thread may help on improving performance without sacrificing the visuals too much.

If you have everything set to the lowest settings then it may not be a video card bottleneck. Have you tried leaving task manager open whilst running the game? This way you can see if the CPU is pegged at 100%, or if you're seeing high page file usage.  High PF usage would typically indicate you need more memory, however you're running 2GB of RAM (the recommended amount) so I would not imagine it being a memory issue. 
 
If you're running Vista/7, also try turning UAC off.

@Cimi93x: Do you have 3D Vision installed with your NVidia driver? If you do, try uninstalling them. There was a problem with the game's interaction with 3D Vision that causes horrible frame rate, and I know they said they fixed it in the latest driver, but maybe they didn't?

I think your computer just isn't powerful enough to run it unfortunately. The game is much more demanding than ME2 because it has higher textures, more effects, it's built with a decent PC in mind.

@Evilsbane: I re-installed windows xp sp3 recently, and using kaspersky internet security since, so viruses or system shouldn't be the problem.
