fuck RadionPro, it just makes a mess of things.

I've got 2 4870 paired with a dual core Phenom II and the game runs just fine.

rfc: Using Catalyst 11.3 here. I'm owning a HD 5970 , all settings to highest except the one above "Vertical Sync" (can't read it, is overlapped on my system due DPI settings) which causes substantial FPS drop.

Anyway. Cutscenes at the beginning: witcher2.exe -> ~ 55 FPS. Creating a copy named fear.exe -> 75 FPS. Yay! Usually the FPS are around 60 later, sometimes drop to 40 but it plays well.
Ty for the info, i am a noob for these xfire things lol , what do you mean a copy of fear .exe?

Skystrider: Tertiary fix: pull out one of your cards.
I would really like people with sli or xfire to try that. But don't pull out just any graphic card: leave the first one (nearest to the processor) in place.

Could someone say if the low performance is solved this way?

You go to Windows Explorer, to the directory where you installed The Witcher 2, into bin/ and make a copy of witcher2.exe . Then rename the copy to fear.exe and start fear.exe .

In my case, Catalyst picks this up as being a different game, applies different internal graphics optimizations and boosts my framerate. I had this happen with other games too already.

It's usually only necessary with newer games, after a while the games get patched and/or the graphics driver update includes the games profile. Someone posted a link to twitter where they claim they will create such profile, so it's only a matter of time in case you feel unsure doing the steps I outlined.
