In reply to Cakefish. I agree, ubersampling is an option for uber-graphic-enthusiasts. I remember the performance impact in highly reduced FPS with my GTX570 in The Witcher 2.

In reply to i3myX1. I couldn't care less about ubersampling. It's merely a form of SSAA. Too resource intensive to justify the increase in graphical fidelity. I count it as being above ultra settings in any game that includes the feature. Sounds like my 980M will net me around 40fps at ultra settings, which is fine by me, considering it's a laptop.

CDProject already teased in an interview, that they initially will withhold the option of ubersampling since this feature will be overkill (As it was with The Witcher 2). They plan on giving this option within some months after release. So the ultra version is not the end of visual improvements and you might need more than “just” a GTX980.

“How will the PC ultra version hold up against consoles?

It will be possible to spot differences in, for example, Nvidia HairWorks, but those are very demanding graphically, so a strong PC will be needed. What I’m about to say might not be diplomatic. In the future you will be able to turn on the option of ubersampling, which, upon the release of The Witcher 2, was killing the game, and will probably do the same with this title, so we don’t want to unlock it for now. It makes the game look better, but the requirements are insane.”
