    All these utilities do is compare your GPU to the minimum and recommended GPUs which is somethign you can easily do for yourself. This in turn depends on what criteria DICE made for "minimum" and "recommended." The beta comes out in a matter of hours (I have no clue what time they are actually making it available), so all of your questions will soon be answered.

    I'm either going to play the game on my Xbox 360 or 1 year coming I will buy a Desktop.

    I'm done with Notebooks, overpriced and can't give a decent performance rate. Portability shouldn't be that expensive.

    EDIT: Forgot to add;
    My PC didn't give me a permission popup, update your Java.

    I just hope a gts 160 m and 2.66 ghz is good enough to run it. I just hope I can play the game :(

    That might not run it. Pretty outdated GPU.

    Me purchasing this game is all dependent on how it will run on my ASUS. If i can even play it at medium at 1080p it will be awesome. But seeing as how Witcher 2 totally destroyed my notebook at 1080p at lowest this seems like a long shot. I wonder if the beta performance will be indicative of how the final version will run.

    Oh technology... :(

    The minimum requirements for The Witcher 2 are similar to the ones of BF3, but the recommended ones are quite different (with a more consistent gap in BF3 so i hope to see a better curve of optimization compared to TW2).
    Anyway IMHO playing @ medium on 1080p with your card will be improbable, but we'll have a clear answer in few hours. Beta version, i think will reflect the final product. At most we could have a little more optimization but the quality should be the same of the release IMHO.

    The best GPU analyzer will be in two days with the open beta.

    Open beta is started for people who pre-ordered on origin, or have the MOH Limited edition.

    This has ALWAYS been the case, i don't understand why people justify getting high performance laptops when they don't even come to close to a high performance Desktop.

    Ok for portability and stuff, but i'd rather sit a desk with a good mouse and keyboard and play my games at perfect framerate and resolutions.

    Alot cheaper, plus BIGGER space for more airflow and fans, we all know what heat does to components.

    Don't get me wrong though i am partial to a good laptop ;)

    The GTS160M is not outdated. Yes it is old but it will run it easily. The issue comes on whether you have a dual or quad core and a 2.66GHz dual core is ok.

    Not on high settings though. Medium-Low on 720p maybe most likely.

    I was expecting a more detailed feedback than "your system meets the recommended settings" (but maybe not maximum mwhahaha! :D). What did you guys get? Is it just prompt saying either bad or good?
