Minimum for Witcher 3 ? pls help

[almoskosz]

What is the cheapest GPU that can run Witcher 3 on lowest settings but at least somewhat stable 60fps 

 

I have an Asus 7770 but it has trouble keeping 20 fps on lowest settings

 

Thanks for the answers!!

 

Ps.: I want the least expensive because i don't play games anymore and don't want to invest much money in it.

You could go for something like a GTX 750Ti, or just a normal GTX 750

Im pretty sure a 660 would run it.. but not amazingly well but if you're going to buy something you may as well buy a 760..

 

What's our budget?

Have you tried catalyst 15.7 drivers?

I just made a reply to the other post and it didn't get carried over. (probably just too slow)

What frame rate do you want, do you want 60FPS or 30FPS constant with vsync? What sort of settings do you want to play at and what resolution too? 

 

Personally I have a 660ti and I run the game at 1080p with settings mostly on medium with AA and most of the post processing off. I get around 50FPS anything lower than 40FPS feels kinda sluggish but it's not too bad in the cut scenes.

OP. The below benchmarks should be quite helpful to you

Well, I mentioned both the lowest quailty (because it only needs a cheaper card) and the 60 fps but that I want it in 1080p didn't. So there is that.

Yep. Have it. Doesn't help.

I don't really have a budget, I will get the money that it takes, but i really don't want to spend much money on it. Let's say my budget is equal to the answer to my question: least expensive card to run W3 in 1080p on lowest settings (somewhat stable) 60fps.

It appears I can't read . I'm really not too sure then, most benchmarks don't give low numbers, but even with a 660ti everything on low I couldn't acheive 60FPS constant it would drop to like 35FPS once in a while. If it was me I would either go 960 or perhaps something on the amd side that's the same, something like a 380 maybe? 

 

@almoskosz this might be worth a read

Thank you very much, it actually solved my problem, I think I will get either a 960 or a 280 (r9 280 obviously), I will have to look for a better offer.
