[@szymeq3116]

tbh I've tested this mod, and what can I say is that mod looks good, but not worth it - I mean huge vram consumption, much longer loading screens and loading textures, which leads to stuttery mess. Also this mod takes huge amount of fps. Better to have fast loadings, less stutters ,less vram usage and more fps, over just better textures

[@EmuQuest]

​@@cythose4059UE5 is a double edged sword, yes it can look great with minimal effort but then the developers who used to optimize the game for such visuals now no longer needed to and became lazy, adding to the fact that DLSS and FSR or TSR has become a cheap way to skimp on optimization

[@leonidacroft]

here’s a quick tip for anyone looking to boost performance in this game: obviously, use dlss. you can swap rt ambient occlusion for "hbao+" and still maintain quality. rt shadows aren’t worth enabling and sometimes even look worse. use the performance mode for global illumination. 8x msaa doesn’t need to be enabled for hairworks because "taa" already handles it in this version. the "ultra" setting isn’t the same as in the older version-it’s a "new" ultra (not referring to ultra+). so, using ultra instead of ultra+ is essentially free fps with minimal quality loss.

[@CGRADT]

RT ambient occlussion is the strongest aspect of this game in terms of looks. don't disable it guys, and yes it's better than hbao+.

9:15 I highly doubt The Witcher 4 is coming out in 2025. They just dropped the first trailer and announced they're just now going into full production.

Lets be honest the trailer was prerender in UE but its real quest, so dame will/should look very close to trailer, just with worse cutscenes, and there is no way 5090 with current leaks be that powerful to run it.

[@murderface7744]

Yeah its 100% not coming out in 2025, they announced two weeks before the trailer that they went into production as in, making models, implementing everything, building the actual game etc. Before this they were in preproduction eg planning, concept art, game design, prep of tech etc. The very extreme hopium earliest we will see the game is end of 2026, however its more likely 2027/2028. All that being said, I am looking forward to it too. Ciri is awesome and I feel CDPR are back in form after Phantom Liberty.

[@tomthomas3499]

True that, they needed to make a trailer cause of Nvidia sponsorship, it will be quite a while to develop the game, not to mention delays since, well it's UE5, we probably gonna see new gen graphics card by the time witcher 4 released.

The reason is that full ray tracing requires faster, higher amount and more efficient tensor cores. Nvidia knows this and thats why we got dlls3 and upcoming dlss4 to mitigate the performance cost until we have enough tensor cores in newer GPUs. Its like when tesselation came out, it took a couple of generation of GPUs to now make it insignificant in terms of performance. The only problem is the price, new GPUs is going to cost a big TV, a used car or something. Thats the biggest issue here until we have a more efficient GPU manufacturing cost.

Honestly. People using high AA solutions at 4K is crazy to me. FXAA is the most you'll ever need at 4K or higher.

[@anearthian894]

5090 better be underwhelming because i got no kidney left.

[@40Sec]

Honestly amazing just how much better it looks with the next-gen upgrade. More demanding than Cyberpunk 2077 with PT though due to RedEngine being so unequipped to handle the additional CPU demands of the next-gen update. The RT is also demanding and was not playable at 1440p for me before I upgraded from a 3080 to 4070 Ti Super. This is one of those cases where it's not that it's unoptimized, it's that it can't be further optimized in any meaningful way due to the limitations of the relatively ancient game engine (I'm CPU-limited to 40fps without frame-gen in Novigrad with a 5900x). I'm not that happy that they're moving to UE5 for future games, but they definitely had to do something.

[@HoretzYT]

i'd like to see a comparison for Witcher 3 with full RT vs. no RT because i can barely see the difference in most games with RT off and RT on

Weird that I started playing Witcher 3 for the first time, 2 hours before this video. Im also using a 4090, I'm not having the GPU usage issue with FG and Nvidia reflex on. It's pegged at 99%. Could it be CPU related? I have a 13700k which should get slapped by 7950x3d.

[@gr2390r2]

9:40 I believe it's worth mentioning that CDPR have already stated many times, that they know what issues UE5 has and if i recall correctly they already even had a conference about potential ways to tackle the traversal stutter. Also it has been mentioned many times in the interviews and such that they are saying it's gonna be more of an UE5 fork rather than what were used to now, which also makes sense given their tech experience with RedEngine. Personally I am also of the opinion that given their experience with RT and PT in RedEngine and considering they have even backported some RT to Witcher 3 (that was being developed like 5 yrs before RTX) there is no way they just gonna be like "yeah you know scrap that we turning on lumen and forget it". Their recent trailer shows they are still in close collaboration with NVIDIA which further strenghtens the point that they are going to be working hard on RT(aka making it the proper way, not just using unoptimized UE5 toggles way). SOOOOO there's clearly potential, can't w8 to see how they're gonna manage all that.

It's very playable on my 3060 12gb (60-80 depending on the area) just as long as you don't enable RT. Performance hit with RT enabled on the 3060 is just too big, even with DLSS enabled (its probably one of the worst RT implemantation in a game right now), and the reduction in image quality when using DLSS at 1080p just isn't worth the added RT effects when your playing at sub 50fps even with dlss enabled. You can instead use the games DX11 mode, which runs much better and has fewer issues than the default DX12 mode. The DX12 mode (default if you want to enable RT) suffers from random stuttering/crashing after playing the game for an hour or two and it's a known issue that will never get fixed since the game is pretty much abandoned after their final crash fix update. You can find the games DX11 exe by navigating into the witcher3's install directory, It has its own separate folder just for dx11. You can just make a shortcut for it in your dekstop if you don't like having to manually selecting the dx11 mode every time you launch the game using the games red launcher. And if performance is still lacking for you with the DX11 mode (if say you want to play the game @ 4k 60+fps on the 3060), it's still possible to download/play the classic version (1.32) by going into your steam library -> witcher3 properties -> betas -> seleting classic/1.32, and that version pretty much runs on anything at this point. You can then mod the classic 1.32 version (1.32 is still supported by moders in nexus) so that it has all the mods integrated into the next gen version (cdpr integrated some select mods from nexus into the next gen version) or more minus the RT features and it will easily run the game at 100+ fps on the 3060 compared to the next gen version. To get RT like effects without having to use the in game RT effects, you can also use reshade RT-lighting/RTGI shaders (not free) as an alternative.

Can you benchmark the Arc B580 pls?

Hello, i love watching your videos :) Greetings from Germany 🙋

Hey! Thanks 😃 Greetings mate!

18:41 I hate such Bugs.

10:52 try to disable low latency mode in Nvidia control panel.

The DLSS quality is impressive, and the visuals look fantastic. However, the real issue lies in the fact that we're talking about an RTX 4090, which struggles to handle current-gen games smoothly. What will happen when future titles become even more demanding? I don't want to feel the need to upgrade to a high-end GPU every generation just to play with ray tracing. It would be great if even mid-range GPUs could handle it without sacrificing visual quality.

[@astrojeet]

Thats how nvidia reflex works in every game. It needs some GPU headroom.

[@SylphidUndine]

does ray tracing come with the game or is it a mod?

[@anonym5160]

The RTX 5090 will release 20.1.2025 and cost 2200$

[@cameronjones4331]

Bro you’re dreaming if you think Witcher 4 is coming next year. If only

[@HEKVT]

Witcher 4 isn't releasing in 2025. I think their remake of Witcher 1 was planned to be releasing in 2025.

[@TechGameDev]

15:25 if the game is optimized it should run like this in native for a 9 years old game

[@Miguel-fi3we]

Friend, don't just try DSR 8K; also try DLDSR 2.25 6K, because 2.25 has superior quality compared to DSR 8K. And if possible, test DLDSR 2.25 with DLSS Quality.

[@FreakySoul90]

Reflex lowers your gpu usage below 99% because max gpu usage causes input lag which it is trying to counter.

[@j-cuts9396]

fun fact before the next gen patch the game rendered Hairworks physix on the cpu and not gpu and thats why the game ran like dooky when you turned it on

[@daanw6270]

I am playing this game in 4k on a 2070 super right now lol. With DLSS Quality, medium settings always above 50 fps. Still looks really good. Pretty happy with that

[@CGRADT]

idk man. dlss does work but looks absolutely awful.

[@daanw6270]

@CGRADT I don't really have a choice 😭 I do sit quite far from my TV so it looks good enough to me
