Hey there!
Before i return to my university town, i want to buy Witcher 3 but i'm not sure if my PC (actually laptop) will handle the game properly. Since i don't have any idea about hardware and can't compare in last few years, decided to ask all of you.

Here is my rig:
AMD A10-4600M APU⋆ + AMD 1 GB VRAM (Radeon HD7660G⋆⋆ + Radeon HD7510M⋆⋆⋆)
8 GB DDR3 RAM (1600MHz)
5400rpm SATA harddisk
Windows 8.1

⋆APU = CPU (kind of... AMD call this serie as "APU")
⋆⋆ HD7660G "Devastator"@Techpowerup.com (Technical details)
⋆⋆⋆ According to GPU-Z 0.8.3. Technical details

Sorry, no giveaways. Generally people anticipate giveaways in that kind of topics.

You're wrong, or thinking about the commercial laptops. I've been using a gaming laptop for 2 years now. I've played a lot of AAA games with no issues at all.

Depends on the laptop company. My MSI is getting up there in years, but still doesn't run hot. I don't even need to increase the fans usually unless there's a bunch of dust inside. It's actually due for a cleaning.

just put a cooling pad under it and almost all heat goes away. it will still produce heat but with having a breeze back will help it work perfectly

+1 a cooling mat is a must for gaming on a laptop, my buddy keep telling me his kept over heating..come to find out he was actually playing with it on his lap with his lags blocking the vents rofl.

Never had any overheating issues with my SAGER. I've always used a cooler pad and I even get to overclock the graphics cards a bit. Either a "gaming" laptop, or LACK of cooler, or bad user use.

I have a DELL Inspiron 5537 that runs Battlefield 3 or 4 pretty smooth with high settings.
It get hot but, since you don't block the air flow, it become pretty acceptable (it gets even better when I use a cooler base).

i7 2637 with a gtx 540m was barely able to get close to 30fps after many tweaks in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrJ330NGjCU So, I doubt your laptop will be able to get close to the 30fps mark. It will look terrible, also. :(

No he doesn't, he needs stronger CPU and GPU.

i don't think you can run it with that gpu.

well, maybe at less than 20 fps. the game is very demanding even at its lowest config.

Check youtube if there are any gameplay videos with your vido card. This is what I do with my current laptop :D

Hmmm, good idea (if they capture the video with an external video capture device)

will run, but with low fps, but still playable.
Try pirating first, if fine runs then purchase(like I did).

I wouldn't bet on it, at best it will run at very poor quality, ruining the experience. I'd say wait, I have to do the same.

I don't think it will run that well. I have a GTX750M, which has twice the vram (not sure about the other specs) and I struggle to run it (15-20 frames, playable, but barely). I would say that you're probably going to have a hard time with stuff, even on minimum.

I could not tell if your computer would run this game. Not always the indicated minimum settings are true to reality. I have seen some cases where even without the minimum configuration was possible to run more or less heavy games. I even finished Tomb Raider on a computer without video card. You can try to run it using the account of a friend who has already purchased the game and thus make sure that work on your computer.

I found it sad the game has a system that crashes the game if you don't have minimum requirements. I was able to run Mad Max which requires higher specs, but I can't run this game because it black screens whenever I start it. It's stupid. I just want to play the game I don't care about my FPS or how smooth I run it :/

If you're machine doesn't even run it, probably not worth playing on that hardware. You'd proably get like 10fps anyways if you're under minimum requirements.

Mad Max was able to run at 30 FPS, so it would probably run around there as well.

I had 1 GB VRAM and W3 actually ran... barely. 20 fps.

Now I have switched to a better laptop which has 2 GB VRAM, still toaster, but broadwell nonetheless. Let's see how this goes.

15fps on the lowest settings with lowest resolution maybe.
