The Witcher 3 Remastered showed 38 FPS with DLSS 5 versus 68 FPS for the Next-Gen version
Key Points:
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered uses NVIDIA DLSS 5 scaling technology, but its performance is significantly lower than the next-gen version, with average frame rates of 38 FPS versus 68 FPS in identical scenes.
- Enabling DLSS 5 in the Remastered edition reduces frame rates further in demanding scenarios, dropping from 42 FPS without DLSS to 34 FPS with it, due to increased GPU load from complex neural network computations.
- Visually, DLSS 5 enhances image realism in the Remastered version by reducing blurriness, improving skin shading, and rendering fine details like hair and clothing textures with high clarity and no aliasing.
- The improved visual quality includes better light scattering, self-shadowing, and cinematic contrast, but these enhancements come at the cost of a noticeable decrease in base frame rate performance.
