Please help an old fellow out here.
The game came on special offer this week and after many years of wondering around Skyrim I was looking for new landscapes to explore and couldn't resist the great offer.
So I bought it and through GOG Galaxy waited the hours it took to install.
The next morning I started the game up and it was so slow to respond to any input. (Silver lining was a good look at Yennifer!). But everything was so slow. Talking characters were still moving their lips long after the words were gone and even the walking between the opening scenes seemed to take forever.
I have set everything in the graphics area to its lowest setting or off and got a slightly faster movement but still it is painfully slow.
Is it my PC which tells me it has 12 Computer cores which includes 4 CPU's and 8Gb of Ram and runs at 3.7gHz,
or maybe my Radeon R7 7850 graphics card that isn't up to the task?
Please be gentle with your replies as I have forgotten most I have learned since the days of my Sinclair 81!
Any help would be appreciated because this game looks real pretty from what I have seen, and my apologies for the sexist comment concerning Yennifer.

well I have done some research into my problem.
I thought I had a pretty wizzy PC but for the witcher 3 it isn't wizzy enough.
Maybe hints in the store to indicate system requirements are a bit high could be added.
I will need to completely upgrade CPU and Graphics capabilities before I can enjoy this game properly.
But it was a bargain price so I am hanging on to it until that day comes around. By then there will be plenty cheats and hints to play it. (have you seen what people are asking for on eBay for the hint books!!!)

I wouldn't wait too long on that if I were. The Witcher 3 is an amazing experience. Skyrim is nothing compared to it.
