Guess I will just have to hope the new drivers from ATI fix this issue. I get between 15 and 25 fps no matter what I do. I have tried all the fixes, tried Raedon Pro and tried gamebooster to turn off all background apps and services, have ran the game in window mode, full screen and every combination I can think of and my fps is always between 15 and 25.

Does not make any sense.

I have a Asus EAH5770 CU Core 1gb video card and my processor is an AMD 64 x2 Dual Core 5000+ and 4gb of ram.

I now it's not the best but I should be able to play on medium to high with a decent framerate.

Have you enabled Dangeling Objects Limiter? Your CPU is the absoulute minimum for this game, and it is bottlenecking your GPU.

What does this options actually do? And is there a clearly visible reduction in graphic quality?

Agreed with the poster a few slots above me. Witcher 2 is pretty CPU intensive. The OP's CPU is definitely on the low end and bottlenecking your video card

Do you guys think that it makes a much difference that mu cpu is phenom 1 9750, so it's a quad core, but it runs 2.4 ghz.. when 5000+ is 2.6 ghz but it's dual core.. So can I run the game? Does it utilize the cores well?
Well other info is that I have 4 gigs of ram, win 7 x64 and gpu is radeon 6850.

chautemoc: I love FRAPS but I really don't care...I just want a smooth game. Numbers or not, it runs very poorly. It's not debatable.

kindiboy: lol...numbers go hand in hand of how well it runs...that's not debatable.
Not so. You can still be playing at 30fps+ and have a horribly annoying stutter every now and then, as is the case for me. The game "stops" for a fraction of a second roughly every second making the whole thing seem juddery, but the actual frame-rate is around 30-ish.

30 is low for this game, because it can drop to 15 if you have alot of monsters to fight.
what you are describing suggests something is working in the background, because the game doesn't do that on its own. if you have anti-virus switch it off if that didn't work, try raising the texture memory size. FPS always go hand in hand with how well a game runs it doesn't mean it's the only factor.

I think it has something to do with the physics.

Did you notice some obvious visual difference between on and off?

Not really, as my framerate was quite bad with it off, so i switched it on after five min.

No matter what I do, my FPS is always between 13-20. And this with everything on low :/. I'm running an Intel i5 (quad core or 4 logic, idk which one :/) and, I know my gpu isn't incredible, but I expected to at least play this game on medium -_- (before anyone says anything, my gpu is modded, so I know some sources say I cant play a game like Mafia 2 on anything but low, but my GPU can play it on high at about 40 fps, so don't bring that up -_-) Gracias =D

I only stated a frame-rate of 30 to illustrate why it's irrelevant when suffering this stutter. It's not the first time a new game has had this problem, and it's normally fixable by patch or video driver update. At the moment I'm tolerating it.

My gaming PC is about as clean-running a PC as you're ever likely to find; only used for games & graphics/photo work, no anti-virus, no firewall (except Windows own crappy one), no anti-spy/malware... in short, no extraneous background processes that might interfere. It's a game or driver issue, with 100% certainty, and the fact that I'm not the only ATi user to report this problem speaks volumes.

I installed these RC drivers and my FPS went from ~15 to the mid 30s.

I have a 4890 card and theres only like 10 fps difference between low and almost max settings, it's stupid

Turn off motion blur, does amazing things to your FPS. Also i dont know if it would help but i used Large address Aware on my witcher2.exe something i now do to every game.
