Building a Core i7 HTPC with Sapphire Mini ITX H67

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is a third-person role-playing video game developed by Polish studio CD Projekt RED. It is a sequel to the 2007 video game The Witcher and just like its predecessor, the game is based on the book series of the same name by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings contains many different paths and storylines, along with multiple endings. As in the first game, the player takes control of Geralt of Rivia, one of the few remaining Witchers. Witchers are humans that have been genetically enhanced and trained to fight monsters from a young age.

Even on the automated ‘low spec' settings, at this resolution the game is very demanding of the graphics hardware. The passively cooled Sapphire HD6670 does a reasonably good job of maintaining playable frame rates, but there are areas of gameplay when it will drop below the sweet zone, under 25 fps.
