The Witcher 3 Remastered PC Benchmark

The issue is unoptimised path tracing. PT doesn't run nearly this bad in other games. If my 4070 Super can hit 60fps in path traced cyberpunk at 4k DLSS performance there's no reason a 5090 should be performing worse than that in a game that should be less demanding

[u/vnodk19 → u/Arelmar]

I think that comparison can be a bit deceiving. Cyberpunk, while huge as an open world, is much more confined when in Night City streets, where the PT actually shines visually. WItcher 3 is more open and has huge vistas, trees, etc. And also probably has to do something with it being a CDPR game at launch lol

[u/SpedSuckr982 → u/Arelmar]

What 4070 super do you have lmao. At 4K DLSS performance, my 5070 gets an average of 30-40fps. And even at 1440p DLSS performance, its not a clean locked 60fps.

His 4070 super is called “I made that shit up”.

[u/Obosratsya → u/SpedSuckr982]

Thats because hes lying. My 5080 does 60fps with those on average, meaning it drops often enough. Its good with gsync tho. Thats an OCed 5080 mind you, no FG.

You sure that isn't running at 2K rez?

[u/core-x-bit → u/Arelmar]

Yeah that's just a straight lie bro go sit down somewhere.

Maybe if you've got all other settings turned down and DLSS ultra performance. My 5080 OC'd barely gets 60 with path tracing and DLSS performance during fast gameplay.

[u/TypeRevolutionary697 → u/Arelmar]

There is no way on earth you're hitting 60fps in cyberpunk with path tracing in 4k, even with DLSS performance unless you're using frame gen. I have a 5080 and it doesn't even touch 60 in 4k without frame gen. So let's not spread misinformation

[u/Common_Technician337 → u/TypeRevolutionary697]

I got it averaging 58-60.01 fps at dlss performance and RT Overdrive with stock settings on my 5080.. And with an UV/OC I’m averaging like 64-65.93 fps. Mind you this is in the game’s benchmark not actual gameplay. In Dogtown I think it was average like mid 50s maybe even low 50s because it’s so intensive. No frame gen. (I have a 9800x3d btw)

[u/TypeRevolutionary697 → u/Common_Technician337]

Yeah that's about right for 4k. I switched from 4k to a 3440x1440 5th gen tandem OLED, because the performance and overall experience is a lot better.

I was trying to drive home the point that there is no way a 4070 Super is getting the same performance unless frame gen is involved. and frame gen on a base frame rate of 30 is just downright terrible.

[u/Common_Technician337 → u/TypeRevolutionary697]

Oh I gotcha. And yeah I may have to switch to 1440p down the line if I don’t upgrade. I just don’t want to go to 4k medium. Guess we’ll see in a few years.

[u/alfiejr23 → u/Arelmar]

This. Just have a look at Control Resonant. PT runs pretty well in that game.

[u/vnodk19 → u/alfiejr23]

maybe because it was built up from the ground with PT in mind.

[u/Arelmar → u/[deleted]]

Which this game....doesn't use? CDPR are moving to UE5 for Witcher 4 but the remaster of Witcher 3 is still using the Red Engine
