I'm wondering if I could play the Witcher 2 on my laptop with an intel t7300 2ghz core 2 duo processor.
I have an ati mobility hd4670 (ddr2) clocked at 1.1V and 600mhz so that shouldn't be a problem. I've seen vids on youtube with people running the game smoothly with a low intel corei 3 and a hd5650 (which performs the same as my hd4670 on standard clocks according to notebookcheck).
According to: can you run it, I can't run the game because the minimum cpu requirement is a 2.2 ghz core 2 duo, while mine is 2 ghz. (the site was mistaken about me not being able to play AC brotherhood which gives me some hope).
So my question is, how cpu demanding is the Witcher 2 really? I know that most of you will probably have a very strong i5 or i7 cpu, but if there's anyone using a core i3 for example (which is already quite a lot more powerfull than lets say an older 2.4ghz core 2 duo), I think it might still be very helpfull if you guys could check out how much % of your cpu the game uses.

Edit: I browsed the web for a bit and still haven't found out if I could play this game decently, but I did find that a better cpu can actually increase your fps with the witcher2:
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings GPU & CPU Performance > CPU Scaling and Performance - TechSpot Reviews -
Witcher 2 is VERY cpu-intensive, when I tried it on my G50vt with x9100(clocked at 3.6ghz), the CPU usage was at 100% or close to 100% almost all the time.
Your rig should be able to run Witcher 2, but I doubt it will produce playable FPS at 720P even with low-ish settings. My x9100/9800M gs setup is incapable of doing that, t7300/4670 will fare no better because a 3.6ghz x9100 with 9800M gs should be quite a bit stronger, to put it lightly.
Witcher 2 cpu usage?
