[@199772AVVI]

@@lawyerlawyer1215 yes, I did try it on a 4080... Was it pretty? Sometimes yes... The global illumination is awesome but not 100% better over baked in lightning, considering the FPS cost... And the reflections? They look good on static scene but are noticably slow in movement = not worth it

[@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+.

[@leonidacroft]

​@@CGRADT and half the frames.. nope

[@KM_47]

RTAO compliments RTGI very well in this game, and if you're enabling one of the RT effects, the cost of enabling the other is very limited due to the BVH. I would also add that reducing crowd density helps because of the cpu bottleneck.

[@JT-mt6ku]

Im pleasantly surprised my 6750xt is running well above 60fps on ultra without having to tweak the graphic settings around(RT off of course). Its an absolutely gorgeous game for being a decade old.

[@alumlovescake]

In the Digital Foundry video they couldn't tell the difference between the settings in dx12 vs dx11 when RT was off. Its hard to get better performance because performance is already like 3x worse then dx11 even WITHOUT RT

[@GameRTmaster]

@frenchtoastenjoyer that's new information for me and yes he did an amazing work and I really want to see people test the game with those mods it look times better than what we seeing in this video

[@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

[@Syfes]

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. With The Witcher 3 they dropped the first trailer almost 2 years before release, and I'm not expecting it to be much different this time. Best case scenario for release is probably late 2026 imo.

[@erisium6988]

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.

[@anearthian894]

​@@erisium6988 It could, lots of breakthroughs in graphics coming with AI. I doubt Nvidia already has GPUs that will be released in 2027 or later.

[@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.

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

I remember getting FPS in the 40s back in the day with 4k and a GTX 1070. It’s insane that a 4090 gets the same now. The next gen version with ray tracing really is demanding.

[@bricaaron3978]

*"Honestly. People using high AA solutions at 4K is crazy to me.* *FXAA is the most you'll ever need at 4K or higher."* Honestly, the problem is that you don't know what you don't know. Whether or not AA is needed does not depend upon display resolution --- it depends upon _angular resolution._ Angular resolution is essentially how _large_ pixels appear to be. And this is a function of two things: Screen Size and View Distance. At the same view distance, the pixels on a 24" 4K screen are going to look _much smaller_ than the pixels on a 55" 4K screen. In short, I have a "High Immersion Gaming" setup. I normally sit 18" away from a 55" 4K OLED for a horizontal FoV of 106°. I can assure you that antialiasing is absolutely necessary with this configuration. The same thing goes for when I'm sitting 5 feet away from a 110" front projection screen.

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.

[@TheEdmaster87]

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.

[@jmass4207]

Something has to give. Consoles aren’t going to cost that much if they continue to exist and people at least are not going to upgrade from a prior pc at these prices very often. Games are not regularly going to come out with this technology mandatory when even the strongest hardware doesn’t run it well. If hardware progression slows studios will have to learn to optimize.

[@cliveruffle6016]

[@llamaloka7043]

This also happens in cyberpunk, starfield, when you activate nvidia reflex the use of the gpu always drops to 80, 85% sometimes it starts at 99%, 95% and then the reflex starts to slowly lower the use of the video card I don't know why

If you really want to experience peak witcher 3, I strongly suggest using the withcer 3 hd rework project mod. Absolute game changer in terms of visuals.

[@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.

Witcher 3 is really interesting when it comes to Raytracing. In Cyberpunk 2077 on max settings with basic Raytracing on 4070 I have around 75 fps in the city and around 100 outside the city, 1080p resolution. Witcher 3 on the other hand gives me about 55 fps so somehow Raytracing in Witcher 3 is much more demanding than that in Cyberpunk 🤨

But fingers crossed🤞 And in a German Podcast (Gamestar Podcast) the head developer for quest design talked about the switch to UE5, and it is mainly because they plan on doing an entire trilogy, so they want to save resources on programming and updating their own engine between each game. And of course it's easier to find programmers that already know how to operate the UE5 engine.

The next gen update introduced half-assed Ray Tracing implementation, bugs, crashes, CPU bottlenecking, graphical glitches, changed the weather system for a worse one, changed the water for a worse one, shadows now are terrible, and overall shit performance.

[@chadwolf3840]

The microstutters on this game are criminal.

[@CGRADT]

the worst ever imo or maybe GTA 4 was worse.

[@flowerguides]

Finished this game twice

[@bilel-di3vf]

next video : Destroying the RTX 4090 in Counter Strike 1.6 with Ray Tracing 32K Ultra settings

[@RanduYoutube]

Bro arc b580 please❤

[@zombeboz1]

Waiting for a 5090 😅

[@TechGameDev]

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

[@legendman97]

Imagine if rockstar updated rdr2 like this…

[@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

[@TheCanadianDreamEvergreen]

My 4070 ti super runs this game very well 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Deviant_V]

This is what i was looking for

[@Narzoytcodm]

Please check Intel Arc B580 in your next video

[@ttwinsturbo]

Sad that you forget check the balance DLSS :-) at 4k!

[@edrisch8008]

Nvidia reflex isnt being "weird". It is known that it causes fps drops, because it decreases gpu power to sync with the cpu thus reduce latency

[@elstipinjo]

Ahhh nothing better than swiming in filthy canal.

[@awaken9106]

We have reached the point where the RTX 4090 is limited due to an insufficient amount of VRAM. Maybe we will see 32GB on the 5090? Quadro GPUs with 48GB already exist. At 8K without DLSS the game used 19GB of system RAM.

[@erisium6988]

No it doesnt run well and suffiecient because its 2015 game on 2013 engine with mods, translation layer to dx12 and RT on top. Look how unstable this game is stock (1.31) thats why video settings are so limited in both oldgen and nextgen version.

[@maxyakovi1423]

Maybe it's something to do with amdip/MSI Afterburner. Research this issue. I read that there is a problem related to power monitoring.

[@vishwajitmishra3804]

me still playing its classic version in my poor gtx 1650 gddr6 at high settings

[@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

[@GothicRule]

Max the power limit and add +100 to core and +300 to memory at least.
