    i know i can get about 25-35fps on the witcher 2, i havent played the first yet but you should be able to play it fine because its an older game that uses an older engine.

    On my R2 the witcher 2 is completely playable, but you will probably need the latest game patch and the newest video drivers.

    My 3dmark06 score is 8500
    you should be able to score higher on your R3, and you can always try overclocking. Its playable at medium settings

    I wonder how many fps can you get in Flotsam market place or especially during the Vergen defence ;). And xtravbx - can you tell me how many fps have you got in Act 3 ( Wyzima Trade ) ? .

    well in flotsom, or any city i get about 30-35 just wandering around. however in chapter 2 when you see all those soldiers fighting on your screen, it drops down to about 25 fps.

    Keep in mind, i have setpll set to 180mhz core i7 and i have a GPU volt mod, thats clocked 610/1400/950
