By the time The witcher 3 was relesed, I bought new PC, which was right enough to comfortably play it on ultra settings, I spend hundreads of hours playing and enjoying, even bought myself box version which is still collecting dust somewhere on the shelf, Then DLCs, HoS with very great grim story, little disappointing though as one dedicated player could complete in 1 day and Blood and Wine which i think is best DLC I had pleaseure to play, story, graphics, content, everything, pure hardcore gaming orgy for eye and soul. This is how I remember The Witcher 3 and as for 2021 winter holiday season I bought it on Xbox to relive great moments and memories from comfort of my couch, and that moment I found out about planned next Gen upgrade and thought, okay, I will wait. So I waited full 1 year to lay my hands on next gen upgrade, Equipped with brand new gaming pc bought just a few months back I eagerly installed to relive the moments with latest eyecandy tech and got hit by brutal reality. Its unplayable with ray tracing on 3060ti :(. RT off, everything else max and i could enjoy, looks better, like good old game, but better, still not what i expected from next gen graphics, so i went total hardcore and bought 4080. Well first impression was jaw dropping, but then i moved around and talked with NPC. Changing between scenes causes stuttering, lags, freezes, god knows how that bad experience is called, lets say performance is BAD when changing scenes, moments when game is processing data for GPU, so after few moments of troubleshooting my CPU, which I gotta say performs extremly well in any other game i tracked down problem and solved it by disabling one CCD, Well, now I can finally enjoy the game in 4k, RTX on, just that stuttering kicks in sometimes when opening inventory, or talking to npc, but its at acceptable lvl now, so I guess you need 13th gen intel and 4000rtx to kill monsters in 2023 or wait for patch. And honeslty, by the way game looks, it's worth it.
