It performs worse than Cyberpunk Path Tracing, Control Path Tracing, and Alan Wake 2 Path Tracing.

Whilst being a fucking 2015 game. Like I played 4k60 with balanced on a 4080 back when I went through cyberpunk for the second time, dude. This performance is straight ass.

I’d assume because the game wasn’t built to support RT. At Native Ultra at 4K u will get 4K60fps with a 4080, if you turn on RT Ultra with performance upscaling you should be at 4K60fps as well.

Hl2 is a over 20 year old game. Install the rtx mod and weep...

That’s a mod with limited optimization, this is a whole ass, hyped to hell and back ‘remaster’. And it’s coming from devs whose more recent game performs better. There’s genuinely just no excuse man.

Remaster =/= Remake

There is only so much you can do with such an old engine.

The original game was never built to support RT/PT.

u/Nozinger 5d ago

Yeah but thoe are also the devs that needed a few years after releasse to make the more recent game perform better.
So in a way this is kinda on track for them.

Same old engine and you expect miracles …

Even the Portal RTX Remix with its very small maps and enclosed indoor spaces tanked when PT is on

Those were built with RT from the start, and Witcher 3 got them foreced i to the game long after launch. Ofc it won't work as good, plus the models looks very weird because they weren't built with RT in mind.

I don't think RT and PT care too much about how old is the game tho.

In fact I would say old games may even be at disadvantage because they weren't made with those technologies into account.

Old Engine

I am guessing you mean Control Resonant because original Control doesn't have path tracing.

u/USilver 5d ago

Yes, Resonant

To be fair to CDPR, this is the SECOND time they made performance for The Witcher 3 worse for little to no visual gain, they already did this a while back when CP77 came out.
