GameRager: Again TW2 uses the FO3 engine so it should be ok

Maurizio84: actually CDPR created their own engine for TW2, as for the OPs question i can't answer, might work with low resolution and details on low.
Actually they didn't create it, they just modified the engine used for FO3/Oblivion.

GameRager: NWN2 and TW1 use the same engine.....TW2 doesn't use it so it should be fine. The problem with TW1 using the NWN2 engine though is that it's buggy as hell, leading any game made with it to lag badly even on systems that can handle running the games using it on high settings.

Again TW2 uses the FO3 engine so it should be ok....I still wish they'd fix the buggy lag problems with running TW1 on high everything on a system with specs over and above the recommended though.

macuahuitlgog: So if my computer can run Fallout 3, it can run The Witcher 2? Why did they list such high minimum requirements for The WItcher 2 then?
Gameragar are you feeling ok, Fallout 3 Engine is Gamebryo, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Engine is using Red engine a brand new engine dedicated to creating games with the design and features developed in house by CD Projekt RED Hense the name RED engine

liquidsnakehpks: bad memories always come back when talked about games that dont run well.....gta 4 still runs at 8fps..........
GTA IV...bad memories indeed. I remember how excited I was to finally be able to play GTA IV and then later, I realized, I paid a lot of money for a slideshow.

Nope....it's a "new engine" in that they took the FO3 engine and modified it and stuck their name on it.

Do you mean Fallout 3? When did they say that? All I've read so far was the TW2 used a new engine that CDPR wrote themselves. I can run FO3 at max settings just fine but the pictures from TW2 seem far more impressive than anything on FO3.

They basically licensed the FO3 engine, modified it, and slapped a new name on it.

You were right, my bad.....what I read and now confirmed is that if your PC can run FO3/NV then it should be able to handle TW2. Not that TW2 used the same engine. My mistake.

I have a laptop with GeForce GT 335M
I'm curious about how well will TW2 run here.
Posted May 06, 2011
From what I gather from Wikipedia:

Fallout 3 utilizes the Gamebryo engine, and The Witcher 2 utilizes the RED engine. Both engines utilize the Havok physics engine.

I'd guess that the physics engine acts as a sort of plug-in to the main game engine (to handle calculations relating to in-game physics, etc).

hmm its looks like the game requires a dedicated 512mb gfx card to run smooth, anything less would mean slow motion mode, i guess i will be watching someone else play... again ....

Why not just buy a better card? Some 1GB cards are around 40 bucks now.

I think an 8600m is really pushing it. It might run assuming the 8600m has the same shaders as the 8800, but man would it run like crap.

Time for a new laptop if you want to play the latest PC games. Or get a desktop for gaming, they're much cheaper not only to buy but to upgrade.

If it has an AGP slot there are still some AGP x8 cards available for cheap.
