Tino5555: Hi there, I've found a SOLUTION for my crippled notebook, to start game without crash :D
Specs:
Intel Core i5-2520 CPU 2.5 GHz
4GB RAM
Intel Graphics HD 3000
SOLUTION:
its possible to run dx11 game on dx10 graphics card
you have to download the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 or Windows 8 and you have to install this on your pc
after installing this you have to search the dxcpl.exe from your windows searchbox
in dxcpl.exe you have to add witcher3.exe (edit list --> add --> your directory to witcher3.exe)
below, activate the "force WARP" and set the level 11_1
after that, I was able launch and start the game
Hey, I'm suffering from the same issue. Specs:

My 270X was defect and I had it traded in for a R9 380 which arrived today. Meanwhile I switched to W10 x64 and installed the newest AMD drivers available.
When I tried to start up Witcher 3 it'd immediately exit and log a EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
After I attempted the FORCE WARP as explained above the game started up correctly. Funnily enough it didn't even matter whether I chose 11_0 through 12_x - as long as I forced any DX version the game would start.
However, the game is unplayable regardless of graphic settings. The HUD kills my FPS. When I load a savegame I'm sub 1 FPS. When I hit the 'Recale HUD' option in the options menu the performance goes south so hard it's not even funny. Has anyone had familiar issues/experience?
