his problem is not "radeon", it's "Radeon 6650m", basically it's not just graphics card it's most probably whole laptop, which wasn't created to run games. First thing would be changing all drivers, it may help but not necessarily. I can run witcher 2 without any problem on my 4 years old computer, in medium with some options set to high.

It may or may not be too late to have a proper community foster around TW2, but I've high hopes for The Witcher 3 and what modders could do for that.

My 460GTX 1GB does the job well enough for high/some ultra settings, and it is not even close to top end. Nice try.

It's not even Radeon, I've been able to play it on a 4570 just fine.

I'm able to play Skyrim on the highest settings and ENB with high performance. I don't see why I wouldn't be able to play the Witcher 2 if it wasn't horribly optimized or built for only the most top-end computers. Edited May 20, 2013 by knightspk2

Because obviously you're doing something wrong, or not being honest. 6650m is a low mid-range video card. If you're using HiAlgoBoost, then you would have little trouble running Skyrim. Otherwise, with ENB added to the mix, you'd be stressing this low end card to the MAX.

 

I call shenanigans on "[running] Skyrim on the highest settings and ENB with high performance." You're either using something like HiAlgoBoost, or you're outright lying, as your card just barely qualifies on the basest of definitions to meet the minimum requirements of Skyrim:

 

Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)

Processor: Intel Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor (AMD Sempron @ 2.4 GHz)

2GB System RAM

6GB free HDD space

Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM

DirectX compatible sound card

Internet access for Steam activation

 

You can see on this page that the 6650m gets the following Benchmark for Skyrim:

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011)

low: 26.7 fps

med.: 24.8 fps

high: 20.1 fps

ultra: 11.1 fps

(source: http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6650M.43962.0.html)

 

Between 11 and 26 (at the LOW settings) FPS is not high performance, even on low settings, and in fact most people would find it to be unplayable. Bottom line, get a GPU designed for gaming, or don't complain about games that are designed to be played.

Download the Witcher 2 Tweaker from here, set priority on CPU in processes to "High" and update to latest Radeon driver, its mainly because you have a mobile GPU. But still sounds feasible enough.
