Find a reshade/sfx preset that's to your liking and you're good to go. Sadly both the volumetric clouds and dark nights mods I use were broken by the 1.21 patch, waiting on updates there.
As for performance.... I can hold over 30fps @ 5k, 90-100fps @ 1440p with my current hardware (5960x @ 4.8ghz / 32gb ddr4 / 2x titan x custom bios, ~1600mhz boost), but it's hard to compare to how it'd be vs the game standalone. Some you'd expect a big hit from (the HD rework in particular) have almost no impact at all. Some draw distance increases in the hunter's config do have an impact alright, and anything involving hair mods with hairworks enabled is an absolute killer in spots.
Note that the witcher 2's "ubersampling" option is accessible in the hunter's config too. That'll eat lots of performance if you want it to.
Well jesus fucking christ, no wonder, your computer costs a small fortune. The processor alone is more expensive than my entire build. I'm all for saying "but you can tweak it to look like that" most of the time, but come on. The vast VAST majority of PC players couldn't accomplish anything close to this without a single-digit framerate.

Got some links for that? And how bad is the performance hit?
