    I agree that this game is absolutely stunning. Much better than the first. According to the Fraps benchmark during a 1200 second benchmark, I got 21fps for min, 60fps for max(vsync was enabled so not suprising), and an average of 56fps. All details maxed, 1920 by 1080, AF at 4x, and AA at 2x. This test was done right after you get your room when you start going into the forest. GPU at 750 core and 1050 for memory.

    From my point of view, this game is great. Will consume your life if you are not careful. I don't put it on the level of mass effect 2 but it is easily worth its price.

    @All (and Even) -- I have played the game so far for maybe 3 to 4 hours. I am not one to rush through so I look a lot of places and try to be thorough. The game is fun so far. It has a learning curve and I never played the first one. To be honest I have taken a load of screen shots and I am just amazed by how great the detail is within the game. Its amazing. I am still getting used to the crafting system and magic.

    Best Wishes, StevenX

    Glad u're enjoying it. I, on the other hand, couldn't stand the character's animation and uninstalled it :( . So...is the game worth reinstall the second time ???

    4 hours into the game and still on chapter 1. I really like it so far. It's got great immersion and even if it gets more linear in the later chapters I am really liking it so far. Thumbs up from me! X

    It's good, very good. I wouldn't call it "great" but very worth the time spent so far (can't recall the hours but it's a bunch at this point). One desktop 285 is handling 2560x1440 without any trouble.

    OMG I don't understand why ppl like this game. Truly to say, from the first moment I play, I thought: WTH, is this really a modern game? I think it does look like RPG game made from 2005 or so. Character's models and animations can't not be worse. Character's hands are so short (lolz). Cinematic is not good too.

    I know this topic is about TW2 performance but... :(
