![]() ![]() ![]() In a such CPU limited scenario, comes a very welcome help from the DLSS Frame Generation technology, which has the ability to bypass CPU limitations and provide additional frames. Speaking of performance, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a very CPU intensive game in DirectX 12, as the CPU usage is mostly single-threaded on PC due to very poor DirectX 12 implementation, and high-powered GPUs such as the GeForce RTX 4080 can end up CPU bottlenecked in some sequences of the game, even at 4K. In other DLSS Frame Generation supported games we've tested, all of them had issues with the in-game on-screen UI, which had a very jittery look-the DLSS Frame Generation implementation in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt does not have this issue. We spotted excessive shimmering and flickering on tree leaves and vegetation at 1440p and below, and these shimmering issues are visible even when standing still, but it is less pronounced when compared to the FSR 2.1 shimmering issues. However, there are also a few important issues of note. Speaking of DLSS Frame Generation implementation, the overall image quality is quite impressive, even small flying particle effects, such as snow on Skellige, are rendered correctly in a fast movement scenario. To be fair, FSR 2.1 also has these issues, but only at extreme angles and you can notice the ghosting only for a few miliseconds, which isn't very distracting during normal gameplay. You can fix these ghosting issues by manually adding the DLSS 2.5.0 dll file into the game folder. Speaking of the ghosting issues, the original DLSS 2.4.0 has some noticeable ghosting issues, the most noticeable were flying birds with black trails behind them at medium and far distance. We spotted excessive shimmering and flickering on tree leaves and vegetation they are shimmering even when standing still at 1440p and lower resolutions. The FSR 2.1 implementation comes with noticeable compromises in image quality-in favor of performance in most sequences of the game. When using DLSS, the image was stable in motion in Quality modes, the level of detail rendered in vegetation and tree leaves is greatly improved in comparison to the in-game TAA solution, and small details in the distance, such as fishing nets or thin steel objects, are rendered more correctly and completely. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a fast paced action game, so when using any temporal upscaling solutions, the temporal stability of the image is key to enjoyable gameplay. At lower internal resolutions, such as 1080p DLSS/FSR 2.1 Quality mode for example, even the lowest value for sharpening filters can cause negative side effects in this game, such as excessive shimmering in motion, so we recommend to disable the sharpening filter for 1080p resolution, when using upscaling. The inclusion of a separate sharpening filter for each upscaling and temporal anti-aliasing solution is a great option to have, but there is one important issue of note. In our testing we disabled all of the sharpening for TAA, DLSS and FSR 2.1. But depending on the game, there are subtle differences in the implementation of NVIDIA's DLSS Super Resolution (DLSS 2.4), NVIDIA's DLSS Frame Generation (DLSS 3) and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 (FSR 2.1), so we are keen to have a look at these temporal upscalers in this game.ĬonclusionIn The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the in-game TAA solution, DLSS and FSR 2.1 implementations all use a sharpening filter in the render path, and the game has the ability to tweak the sharpening values through a separate slider, but in this game it is a bit different: you have the ability to completely disable all sharpening or use only two options-"low" or "high," in which "high" uses the highest value for sharpening. In order to run this game at maximum graphics settings and reasonable framerates at native resolution, quite a powerful GPU is required, which is why upscaling solutions are so important. This version on PC also has support for NVIDIA's DLSS Super Resolution (DLSS 2.4), NVIDIA's DLSS Frame Generation (DLSS 3) and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 (FSR 2.1) from day one. IntroductionThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Next-Gen update has finally released on PC and console, with plenty of visual enhancements over its original release in 2015, such as ray traced global illumination, ray traced shadows, ray traced ambient occlusion, ray traced reflections, Ultra+ settings which increase draw distances, foliage density, background character detail, asset quality, and more, texture resolutions are also increased and environments gain new geometric detail. ![]()
