I am running a i7 3.4 Ghz, GTx 560 ti SLI and 8GB DDR3 (Wind 7) and I can run with ubersampling on with SSAO and Bloom off at around 30 FPS (just below smooth performance). Personally I feel that with Ubersamlping on the graphics are taken to a whole new level.

The trouble is that I would upgrade my PC to be able to play with ubersampling on but I don't really see what else I could upgrade, (apart from buying 2 GTX 580's wasting the hundreds of dollars I spent on my two shiny new 560 Tis)

Anyone have any ideas? hardware? software? mods?

Anything, thanks!

I dunno....maybe GTX590 in SLI for QUAD SLI would work?? Lol, insane!
I am not trolling here, anyone have a rig that can run it with Ubersamling on? I would love to hear about it
Overclock? Or maybe set Ubersampling=1 instead of the default 2?
Disable AA with Ubersampling, it's redundant

What does ubersampling=1 actually do?

With that configuration the only thing you can do is wait for more performance patches. There just isn't any more tech you can add there that would make sense.

On a Pentium D 3.2 GHz, 2GB Ram and a 5850HD, I get about 7-10 f/s in crowded areas and up to 20-25 in smaller places, like the tavern in Flotsam(with just about everything on, except motion blur and depth of field). That's about a third of the normal of the uber-off frame rate.

And you're right, the way the game looks with Uber on makes any other setting, with it off, look ugly by comparison.

Ubersampling is ordered grid Super-Sampling. Basically rendering at very high resolution and using a downscale filter. Therefore, you get nice Anti-Aliasing on EVERYTHING. Edit: Also very high anisotropic filtering.

Sorry, i edited my post. I meant ubersampling=1. How is it different from regular ubersampling?

I have no idea sorry, I only know Ubersampling=2 is 2x2 OGSSAA, Ubersampling=3 is 3x3 OGSSAA etc. I don't think 1xOGSSAA is possible. But I think it's worth a try if you can run it. (I cannot)
Edit: Maybe multi-sampling anti-aliasing. Rather than the default (worse, but cheaper), morphological anti-aliasing option. Just guessing.

Anisotropic filtering.

Thanks. Enabling it does produce an effect similar to AF. Seems to be little to no fps hit.
Thanks for the tips

taking AA off helps with the frame-rate a bit and no graphical difference. The Ubersampling set to 1 doesn't look any different to me or at least looks like nothing compared to when set to 2.

What about texture memory size? does that effect quality or speed? I cant tell

Sitting around 35-40 FPS, is anyone playing with those FPS? normally it wouldn't be so bad but Witcher 2 is so hack and slashy that it seems to make a difference.

I don't know anything about over clocking, I kinda figure it the card could run faster, the manufacture would have done it to sell more cards, any info here would help...

I never had any problems with OC, though it's important to maintain sufficient fan speed and temperatures. Generally you can gain something between 10-30% speed pretty easy. YMMV of course, and there is a risk involved if you OC too quickly and let your chips overheat.

I wouldn't have been able to play TW2 without OC.
