We run through the early scene where Gerald is chastising Ciri for being a rebellious teenager, performing cartwheels and practising sword fighting, while blindfolded. We test at three resolutions – 1080p, 1440p and 4K, and two in-game detail settings, ‘High’ and ‘Ultra’.
The game really tests a GPU to its limit, but doesn’t rely greatly on CPU power.
The fast CPU isn't enough to bump the GeForce GTX 970 into providing playable frame rates at 4K resolution but at 1080p and 1440p, the Imperial Stormer runs perfectly well.
