Low fps on The Witcher 2 even though it should be better
so I have a graphics card in my Lenovo e560 laptop with the following specifications:
Graphics Card Manufacturer - Powered by AMD
Graphics Chipset - AMD Radeon (TM) R7 M370 Memory Size - 2048 MB Memory Type - GDDR5 Memory Clock - 900 MHz Core Clock - 875 MHz Total Memory Bandwidth - 57 GByte/s
And this website tells me that my video card is better than the minimum requirement and that I should run The Witcher at medium settings at around 40fps but this is not the case. I get 25fps at best with all the settings extremely low. I even downloaded a mod that reduces the graphics even further... what am I doing wrong here?

Try updating your drivers at http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
Also websites like that aren't the best at determinating how the game will actually run on your own computer.

How do I fix my FPS in Witcher 2?
Just decided to share fix that I found yesterday, helped me to jump from 20 fps to constant 60.Why is my FPS not as high as it should be?
The most common reason for reduced FPS is graphics settings that create a larger workload than your hardware can handle. So how do you achieve better FPS? Getting a faster CPU, more RAM, or a newer graphics card is one solution.Is Witcher 2 poorly optimized?
yes this game is poor optimized even lovering the setting..it's so unresponsive, expecially during fight...Why is my FPS low with good specs?
If you have outdated hardware in your PC, you might suffer from low game FPS, no matter what software changes you make. In that case, it's time to upgrade your hardware. You may need a more powerful video card that can handle higher-quality games, more RAM to keep the game running smoothly, or a stronger CPU.Boost performance for The Witcher 2 on low end PC

Try adding the game exe file to Switchable Graphics.
- Open AMD Radeon Settings.
- Go to "System".
- Go to "Switchable Graphics".
- Click "Running Applications" button and change it to "Installed Profile Applications".
- Click "Browse" button and add the game's exe file to it.

For better performance plug in your laptop and don't play when your laptop is on battery.
