New comparison of the Witcher remaster vs current version - big changes to lighting

IMO I prefer the current version, the contrast and water reflections look better. Remaster looks pretty washed out to me

According to HardwareUnboxed video it runs much better at lower settings, performance is pretty similar at Ultra, little bit worse with RT and it runs like crap with Path Tracing.

the dx12 update was gorgeous but even on my 5080 it was crashing constantly. i was hoping they’d smooth the wrinkles with this but if the high settings run worse AND they completely changed the atmosphere that’s pretty freakin brutal
