The GPU vs CPU issue is beyond my tech grade, or at least beyond my desire to dig into the details. There are multiple "claims" from players on both the Steam Forum & the W3 (GoG) Forum about performance issues. Many are legitimate I'm sure, but when it comes to the reason "why", it can become a bit obscure to downright false, so it's a bit hard to glean out the truth.
Great idea! I can't post comparison shots myself, as I have none from my original playthrough on GoG from years ago. I believe that shot is of Keira Metz in Chapter 1? I just finished the prologue in White Orchard, which took me about 60 hrs (at least 25 hrs of that was playing with the photo mode), so it will be sometime before I get to that scene. But keep posting shots you'd like to have comparison's for and I'll try to match them.P.S. Keep posting pics! Actually, maybe we could try something...
This shot of having supper in the forest is from fairly early in the game. Maybe you could take a similar shot when that scene shows up in the game to compare with? (Hopefully, it wasn't one where I pulled the camera away with a mod.)
