The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is more than “30.0 times larger” than previous Witcher games, requiring players to sail by boat to some locations and ride by horseback to others. However, fast travelling around the areas of known locations is also possible. The Witcher 3 has been described as “20% bigger than Skyrim“. Many actions the player performs affect the world; many of the quests have a number of options on how to complete them, and the outcomes differ. CD Projekt RED anticipates approximately 100 hours for the completion of the game, 50 of them belonging to side quests, and 50 belonging to the main story line. (Wikipedia)

Postprocessing is set to the ‘high' preset. We enable the ULTRA graphics preset but disable Nvidia Hairworks as it has a rather negative impact on frame rate.

At these settings the engine runs smoothly, holding above a 50 fps average. The minimum frame rates are held close, or above 40 at all times. Ultra HD 4K was only playable with image quality settings dialed down low, so we left out the results.
