The Witcher is a series of fantasy action role-playing games developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt. It is based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, acting as sequels to the story of the books.
The main series began in 2007 with the release of The Witcher, and concluded with 2015's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. As of 2020, the series has three main standalone games, two expansion packs and six spin-off games. The series is critically acclaimed and commercially successful, selling over 50 million copies worldwide by May 2020.
In March 2022, a fourth installment of the franchise was announced to be in early development. It will use Unreal Engine 5 instead of REDengine, which the two previous games used,[1] and is planned as the start of a new trilogy for the series.
In October 2022, A remake of The Witcher was announced, which was formerly first teased under the codename, Canis Majoris. Entitled The Witcher Remake, it will be developed using Unreal Engine 5, the same engine in use for the planned second trilogy. Fool's Theory will mainly develop the remake with full creative supervision from The Witcher series staff and CD Projekt Red.

you know it is a great game when even without the update the game still look phenomenal
Yeah but the update sucks
Edit: they should have removed the map and replace it with Ubisoft like map where, there is only a line above the screen, telling you the only point where you want to go and objectives.
Mods still look far better by it. Apart from ray tracing (which doesn't even looks good) all they added were some textures. Only good details i could find was an animation for picking plants.
Well, nah, original definetely had its flaws if you compare it to its earliest trailers. The fire, the WATER especially, and the strong wind during sailing on the ocean, the waves etc. was completely removed. At least, the update fixed the oil like looking water back from the original.
@@spartacuscreator but the water looks worse. previously the waves looked much better and real, now its like stiffened up.
@@izanazir7088 i dont think so. They fix fall dmg (the best change for me), the bridge, add/unlock some little scenes, ....so the update itself is quite nice especialy for a 7 yrs old game and absolutely free. The graphic is nice for ppl who dont use mod and i believe ppl dont use mod on console right ?
@@theskywalker8416 yeah i am on console and the reduced fall damage is pretty great. Now i can do as much parkour as long as i can in Toussaint lol. But as a whole, the hype they created for creating this update made it seemed like a bunch of new textures. They could have just put some community mod for ray tracing atleast. My point being it could have been so much better and if someone says that the game without the update still looks phenomenal just says that the update isn't great enough. Other than that, i am not too happy about the map system.
Its insane how ambient occlusion combined with slightly higher quality foliage can transform a games looks
it's mostly the lighting that does the heavy lifting in terms of better looks. HDR tone mapping, that is.
And performance...
@@Elite7555 without next gen 110fps with next-gen 50 fps
Huge performance loss for gtx 1660S
@@ugurbabacan4068 yeah it looks better but it's not worth the performance downgrade, if only we could have the extra content with the old graphics...
I doubt most people would really notice the changes while playing.
Wow the game looks much more fantasy like now, so grateful that it isn’t a paid upgrade like many newer games are.
Yeah, and I am posting many videos in my chanel, plis visit me
Yeah it's not supposed to be so fantasy is it, it looks like another monster hunter. Sharp and unnaturally colourful, there's a part in Toussant if that's what you want but it's hard to get back into the majority of the game with this 😒
@@valandil7454 Wtf you smoking my nigga
@@valandil7454 You think it looks MORE fantasy with the update? From what I can tell, almost every aspect of it looks more realistic.
@@valandil7454 a game where u fight monsters shouldn’t be fantasy yup ur so smart
I tried it thinking it was going to be unnoticeably better than the original, it blew my mind. Almost a whole new feeling of immersion, especially toussaint, mind blowing graphics
I felt underwhelmed. 15% general improvement like: vegetation density, illumination quality, and reflections in water is hard to be named mind blowing upgrade.
@@Lee_Aeon It's definitely more than 15%. The game looked great without the update, sure, but there's a lot too it that definitely is showing it's age. The update makes it look as if came out yesterday.
@@Lee_Aeon You should invest in some glasses my friend
@@Lee_Aeon colors in original were super oversaturated, sand and especially tousaint were just insane bright, that was fixed in this upgrade. also look at tress/bushes/leafs they look way more realistic
@@Lee_Aeon I guess you're blind and didn't noticed that every single texture has been SIGNIFICANTLY improved.
For me, one of the biggest improvements are the lightning and the antialiasing. The antialiasing in the old version was for me a big downer. So great that their improved that game so much after years, that's when you care about the community.
bro when the game came out in 2015 i thought it was the best looking game ive seen up to that point. 3 years later and it stilll held up . the graphics were ahead of its time for a game of this size. the next gen update truly improves it and low key think its the best game of all time.
The original still looks awesome in 2022. CDPR really nailed the art direction
You tryna get exchanged or what my boy
@@Zz0Z79u tryna be noticed after several months or what my lil' boy
The best thing to me is the lighting and the colors of the floor. Before, Velen looked like it was too yellowish, but now it's much better
really "colors of the floor", kinda far reaching for any positives here aren't we
@@MGrey-qb5xz What? It's a great upgrade for something free, I'm just saying I always felt the colors are too saturated and could be better. People like you really likes to say everything is bad hm if it was not free, ok, but, man, why are u like this?
@@vitorcomacento So it is ok for developers to release broken updates because "It's free" ?
@@vitorcomacento the original game looks so good that these hd texture mods barely make the game look any better, cope
@@MGrey-qb5xz I don't think it looked "that good" in a lot of parts. Everything have space for improvements. And they improved some little things, which is see it's good
I'm more drawn to the old versions stylistic approach, the orange colors do a lot for the mood and the water feels better to me etc. It's a cool update though, field day for anyone that values realism more
Racist! Poland will never again bring weapons to Ukraine you racist fxxx..
same here. I like the classic tone. Novigrad in the newer version is too dark for me.
The orange tone and the moving trees and grass make a great aesthetic
Well, I'll play the new version, it's much better
I'm very happy that the overly saturated tones are largely gone (except at sunsets, when it is anyhow more appropriate)
I can see a major difference, I also have it set to ultra and it suns smooth, of course your going to have your exception, like major populated areas and lots of animations, but over all it was a great Next-Gen update, and I've only played like 4 hrs of it since it came out, So kudos to CDPR for a great job, I hope the CP 2077 DLC that's coming will be just as good, hers to hopping😁
Tip for everyone, turn the gamma wayyy down and then turn up the TV gamma settings and shadow detail. Game looks insane then
Legit didn’t try the game on my ps5 until this upgrade now it’s time to start atleast 2 to 3 more play throughs on what I believe to be the greatest game ever
Even without RT, the upgraded 3D models looks details and awesome! The only thing that's still there which they didn't fix since day one is the ground layered texture. The ground looks transparent and you can see the layered which really break the immersion.
I dislike that they removed HBAO which sucks because it is far better than the other options we have. Sucks because for me the game looks worse now and i cant run rtx rn
@@thehiddenone2875 You seriously think the game looks WORSE? Lol. Please stop it. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
@@kahnsealable It looks worse if you cant run Ray Tracing. FSR look more blurred and they removed HBAO which added a lot of realism. Sadly they removed this, making the grass etc look worse since there are no shadows on the grass. Hope this helps
@@thehiddenone2875 so because you don't have a rig powerful enough to run RT that makes the game look worse? You are literally making a fuss about ONE setting which doesn't make a big difference because the lighting system is overhauled. You completely ignore all the other upgrades that come from the HD rework mod they used.
@@kahnsealable Those were quite irrelevant to me since i played with the mods CDPR added to this version of the game before they updated it so the game looks worse now because they removed the AA option HBAO+ so for benchmarks rtx will look better in comparison to the normal game. If you dont believe me go look it up on youtube. The 3D Models look without a doubt better but if you dont have proper shadow on grass, barely any reflection it sucks
Impressive upgrade. I've been wanting to try this game. When I'm finished playing a bunch of other games, this one's next.
So never
@@elisel2308 🖕😄😁
@@Apollyon_Rev911 haha!
This game has great stories to sit back and play.
@@Apollyon_Rev911 hes right tho
It's str8 up amazing. I just got my p5 and as much as I love the witcher 3 it's on another level now...Replay replay replay is a must. It's that gorgeous.
Dude the performance mode is insane on the ps5 absolutely stunning it’s looks like a whole new game!! Having a blast with it even without the ray tracing mode it looks ridiculous and so smooth!!
bro the game is played on PC not ps5, check description
@@GAMEDESKY You better read that comment again. He didnt even say anything against your point, so wtf you want from him? Let him enjoy the Ps5 version.
@@_MrToast_ YEA HE BETTER
You'll enjoy it even more when you play it on PC with a high end graphics card.
@@Hboogie182yeah you just gotta find one in stock and pay 5x the amount of the ps5. So nice
The colours now feel a lot more subdued and natural to me. I like it.
That's exactly what I don't like about it lol
@@brando3342 I can understand that, it does lose out on a lot of its original "witcher" vibe without the specific hues of greens and yellows in the environments.
@@esscee96 Thanks to CD Project, now Velen looks even more like a gloomy swamp from which you want to escape
@@thehosdadal4542Ikr? And that music lol
I like that the environment has become more realistic, because of which the outdated character models (especially NPCs) are much more visible. And now it turns out that the characters are knocked out in terms of quality relative to the environment, like damn graphic mods for GTA 4, whatever you do, the age is still visible from the models of NPCs and characters.
In my opinion, the water in the original looks a lot more realistic. It's the waves and the splashes. The next gen updates water is too flat and the splashes look more like mist. Other than that though, the update is great.
Yes water physics are horrible.
I think it depends on the weather
@@gyro0232 what? He talk about wave when main character swim… dont understand?
Weather is mostly better in Next-gen, during storms waves are awesome, in original they were same no matter what's up with weather. Original has better wind effects on foliage and i really miss that "Wind's howling" effect. Splashes are so-so original too generic NG somehow flat. Shallow water much better in original, deep water better in NG. Colors hmmmm, i miss that yellow-redish note from original but ambient occlusion is sooo better
Nah, with update is more realistic
in my opinion the effect of the wind on the trees in the next gen looks static while in the old version it looks more realistic moving fast when exposed to the wind, i preefrer still like look old version looks more realistic with the wind effect
Why did they remove the strong wind effect? Bending trees and grass perfectly showed the power of nature and the feeling of cold😢
Holy shit I actually didn't even notice they removed this. I remember loving seeing how the wind made the trees move!
The trees/wind effect was pretty broken and would always be on. It looked pretty bad.@@Boop417
Perhaps the weather is just less windy that day? Didn't it vary in the original too? I also noticed in the video how static everything was, making the old game looking more lively, which is nice.
@@johnwayne-kd1pn nah, it was ALWAYS on. always. It was broken.
@@Xishnik94 Actually yea, I remembered that when you said it, and before I posted. Nonetheless always on is better than always off IMO.
Yup, definitely time for another playthrough.
I came here because of the next gen Fall out 4 lol
Nice. It compliments the game well, looks more rich and adds volume to the environment.
without the update the game still look phenomenal
The movement of the branches, the environment with heavy wind looks more realistic than the updates
is it just me or the old yellowish filter had some special "sad" vibe, which perfectly fitted the game timeline.
It's just you.
Well, the yellow is nice, but overall Velen still looks drab and kindof grayish in a way. That changes when you get closer to Novigrad, the nature around there is differently lit, brighter yellowish.
I think the way they used colours in the original is brilliant.
Even Novigrad is drab when you compare it to Touissant.
I've just been playing the next gen mode on PC recently with all RT options on and it's absolutely beautiful. In combination with its art direction it's one of the best looking games I've ever played.
I've played the entire game twice with its dlcs, side quests and all (old version)....totally awesome...unfortunately can't do it a third time with the next gen update, just burned out with the open world formula now, thanks Ubisoft.........story based single player games is what I look forward to now.
I love all the wild flowers and the improved textures in the game. Nice touches
The vegetation density is absolutely insane in the next gen version. Witcher 3 already had insane vegetation to begin with.
Now it looks a little closer to that one trailer that looked incredible beyond belief. I think it was the reveal trailer
This game is pure masterpiece that never ever can be something like it again
Hopefully Witcher 4 will keep this same format and just add on to it. No need to change mechanics that work great
Yes, sadly you're right.
has anyone noticed the floor textures being lifted off the actual floor
This made me appreciate how good the original game looks
7 ½ damn years apart
That was a very good video. I played TW3 years ago, and worried that the Next Gen Ipdate might have changed too much. ... There were areas and colours in the original that I particularly loved, and wanted to revisit on replay. I thought they may be gone due to the mods used in the update.
However side by side, I can see that the Next Gen Update is truly stunning. It must be the best way to play now. .... Maybe the odd tone has shifted colour in places I was particularly enamoured with originally. I won't know until I replay. However the Update is so much better overall, that an odd colour shift is OK to me now. I am no longer worried about replaying, even if my worry was only minimal before seeing this video.
I don't know why but classic version of witcher 3 i like much more
Me too actually. It was nice to do another playthrough on the remaster, but the original is just right.. They even mucked about with the combat system for the remaster, and I frankly don't like those changes at all.
i think it looks even better without the update
Yep. Same here. Talking about water splashes, shadows and wind effect on vegetation.
Yep. Same here. Talking about water splashes, shadows and wind effect on vegetation.
The next-gen version graphics are more realistic and new but I like the Original version more, it has more old-period and fantasy vibes.
This definitly brings me a feeling of going to the countryside in my country. The forest especially is really similar.
Original: 180 fps - - - - Next Gen: 56 fps
the animation of the trees in the remastered ed. is a bit static comparing to the original W3. Is the impression was because the randomic clime?
3:50 I liked the windy effect on oldrim.
Am i the only one to prefer the old water graphic design, compared to the new one ?
Ye cause the new one doesn’t have that ripple effect
The color was way off though. Ocean blue water in a central european-esque swamp?
@@idontknowidk6077it does. It's just covered in a new foam texture. At 2:13 you can see the ripples in the shallow parts real easy.
My god... How much the game improved with RT and new foliage system with improved/upscaled textures... The original looks ecstatic for 2015 title... But now 7 years later with the next gen upgrade... It trumples most of 2020-2022 open world games.
I am playing it at RT ultra+ with 3090 and I just can't stop bloody staring at the game. I just don't want to use way teleports and don't want to run to the mission... but rather walk and just stare at the beauty of it all...
The only really thing left is to polish some visual anomalities created by RT at some places (with the light leak probably 2 walls not properly joined etc....) and the heavy FPS toll that is unreasonable for what the game produces and is obvious there is severe engine CPU limitiation which needs to be worked on to have better perf overall.
I am playing on an RTX 3080 and do the same with RT Ultra+. I have spend 50 hours in the game and havent even gone past Velen. The only issue is the game needs to better use multiple cores in the CPU. Apart from that, its amazing
@@DeebanFR Aye... 30 hours in and man... I haven't used ONCE teleport... I'm just roaming with roach (using mod that kind of copied RDR2 horse controls) and soaking in all the beauty of the world... And just slaying what needs slayin'. 30 hours and I haven't touched much of actual main quests... Just side quests/contracts and question marks...
Really if they properly optimize DX12 version and improve the performance by 15-20% (or more) it would be amazing.
Like I am running 50hz with vsync to experience somewhat smooth experience as with 60hz its just constant jerk fest as the game is floating around 50-60 fps.
Only other thing I wish I saw updated was the NPC animations... Would have been cool to see more modernized animation and movement... Also utilizing the facial expressions tech that they have implemented in CP77...
Overall i'm mad impressed...
@@sermerlin1 What CPU are you on? 50 fps is as high it goes right now without Intel 13th gen
@@DeebanFR i5 11400. Got smooth gameplay at 50fps about 90% of the time, where it is sitting above 50fps but in some villages in velen it goes to 47-49fps. While exploring it is 50fps locked flatline.
Novi grad will probably slaughter me at 30-35fps as well as oxenfurt.
i love the yellower tint in the original, hope they have included a toggle for that ambiance
thanks for this great comparison! there are big differences! but i hope cd red will patch the performace issue.
El movimiento de los arboles en el original me resulta mucho mas genial. Aunque no fuese realista le da un toque bello al juego
Sí, no entiendo por qué esa necesidad de que los juegos sean lo más realista posible. Si quiero eso salgo a la calle y ya está. Las cosas fantasiosas y diseño artístico son los elementos que visualmente más atrapan la atención.
El viento y las hojas cayendo en ghost of tsunami son exagerados, pero la sensación e impresión que tienes al jugarlo va más allá de el realismo
Seeing this side by side. Getting rid of that orange look makes it feel like some of the original setting got lost in this update. Overall really happy with that update. Especially considering its free. Still love playing this game.
The free update has a lot more work put into it than several PAID remasters out there.
It might just be me, but the added contrast, "difference between bright and dark elements" is just too high on the next gen version, especially on a oled. The old version is much easier on my eyes.
if only i had a computer that can run this on Ultra+ with Ray Tracing :(
Don't worry, you don't miss anything from the other world, you will only see the game as if it had the gama more high, that is, worse
3:30
The trees move with the wind in the original but in next-gen, they look static, they don't react to the wind...
The enviroments, the music... and new graphics details? Im down for another adventure(Bilbo`s words)♥
Next gen has Texture pop in issue, correct the lod before release
I don't understand how no one criticizes the next gen. In almost every aspect it got WORSE. It's just better lighting everything else got messed up...
The physics of the wind blowing the tree, swimming, sailing, hair quality, grass reacting while walking.
Is everyone blind or stupid or both?
This is exactly why i play the regular version
The one thing I do think look better is the skies. But in terms of art, it seems wrong, as I imagine Velen almost always having a kind a gray drab sky, and not clear with some clouds. Yes, it looks better, but not correct. But, at the same time, I also think it looks nice.
It Improved in some areas. The color palette is def less yellowish but some of the grass is noticeably blurrier as if it has lost definition. The terrain, itself has improved and it's more detailed but in some cases, it seems the trees went from 4K to 2K and there is less variety. You could clearly see the detailed leaves on the trees before the Next-gen update and now they are all some sort of mass of different greens. The next-gen walking is atrocious, it's like The Witcher is losing his walking rhythm every 2 or 3 steps.
Bro's mad he doesn't have next gen
Literally *all I could notice* is how awkward and robotic the walking looks in the newer version. It looked SO much more fluid before... no idea how they messed that up IoI
@@finnplotzki4774Nah IoI. Some improvements are really nice, while other changes are noticeable downgrades. The walking animation in next gen looks ESPECIALLY worse.
Is it truly different, or is it just that he's walking faster in the next-gen clip? I mean, if the speeds were matched, would it be different?
@@finnplotzki4774 I've never owned a console in my life. Never will. All my games are heavily modded. Just my Skyrim has over 1,200 modes and runs always over 60 FPS without even sweating. I always tough that consoles are (in general), for people who can't afford a decent pc.
Distant detail looks more complex, better atmospheric effects (especially far away haze), improved water reflections, more vegetation rendering up close. But the old version still looks great
Is it just me or these paths through forest looks sooting and scary at the same time.
Great game and great video👍👍
the performance loss of the next gen is not worth it imo. original still looks amazing.
Its mind boggling to me that this game will turn 9 years old and still looks amazing, like this...
the color change to the lighting looks good same with the water, but the shadows look way to dark
I'm also recording some gameplay on my channel on my Xbox Series X. The graphics are fantastic too. Very impressive upgrade.
The new water effect is incredible!
It doesn't seem noticeably different until you play with updated graphics and go back.
Foliage quality is the most notable improvement to me!
you should compare Toussaint next, it's breathtaking
Magnificent game, they did a remarkable work with the remaster tons of improvements ❤
Except performance, which sucks
@@mmd3585 game works great on series X smooth and beautiful
@@felixgrubshtain4365 same here on PC (rtx 4060 ryzen 5600) ultra 60+fps
I have a fully moded PC version and i dare say that it looks much better than the Next Gen version
I think even not modded old version looks better, than this witcher 3 reforged.
I doubt it, the grass looks much better in the next gen, not even beautifullgrass or meadowns mod with the tweaks in engine.ini come close to the new grass.
and I highlight the grass over the rest because it's what we will see the most in the whole adventure, lol.
@@metroplex29 on my taste old grass better, they should've give a choice between old graphic and new, with other changes which i like. But maybe it's too hard to do, i don't know.
@@nikoooo57 i thought i was the only one who prefered old the witcher than new the witcher.
@@nikoooo57 the old grass was absolutely horrible 😂 it was just 2 plane meshes with an alpha map applied on top. The new ones are far better. With each individual blade of grass being rendered.
100 hours into the game and definitely was some experience
Would be interesting to find out the rig's power draw.
Question. For use the next gen game i should enter the game with direct 12 right?
The world of witcher is not supposed to be beautiful. It's supposed to look grim and dark.
U never went to a place called crookback bog?
@@TheNissandd everything should be grim
@@TheNissandd everywhere anywhere
Well, except Toussant ofcourse.. And well, even all the other parts of the game use different colours to have a different kind of look. Not all are suppose to look as grim and dark as Velen, even outside Novigrad things lighten up significantly.
Kaer Morhen has more of a cold white tone, and Skellige more of a cold blue tone. This is good use of colours actually, in the original, pretty brilliant actually.
I cannot not play this game without ray tracing. It's just too damn beautiful.
But I cannot play the game with ray tracing because its so damn taxing
@@MrMooMoo89 L
15 fps 😎😎
thats why until i can afford or have to upgrade my 3080 to a 4080+, I won't be replaying it.
40 fps on rtx 4080 lol. I can't imagine what fps is on RTX 2060 with RT
Why I feel that the Original version looks better?
Cap
The water looks 100 times better in the next gen version
The old version locks for me better! 😅
I prefer the original at 3:40 That yellow tint gives a diffetent atmosphere
Can’t really relate with the atmosphere when I played this game in Southeast Asia. Now that I’m currently in north west Europe, can’t believe how immersive the atmosphere’s graphics and soundtrack was done. CDPR is a beast. Just don’t rush them 😅
The new version doesn't have HBAO+ which is why objects use shitty SSAO and it looks too flat without RT.
They removed it on next-gen version of the game seemingly to make RT shadows look better in a side by side comparison - really disappointed CDPR would do this.
Like they should have at least left HBAO+ in DX11 mode where there's no RT anyway....
No big differences. I like the colors of the non next gen (not look cold). Trees seems more dark and LOD is better at distance. Wind power have been reduced too.
Water has a white foam (additional material change). And i think that's all.
You're missing the added foliage, higher quality textures and mainly the new lighting/reflections and shadows. You can see at 1:44 (on the right side) that instead of it being a blob of shadows meshed together you can see the individual branches and twigs/leaves casting shadows and can make them out their shapes easily. Seems like a decent amount for a free update imo.
I think you need to get your eyes check friend.
Either you are blind or you are completely new to gaming
@@groogi9649 adding foliage is not a part of a next gen game. But you're right. New one is slightly better. Maybe i should play it on a big screen, cause on my phone it's not clear and i cannot enjoy texture.
@@asdfghjk2933 no. I can see better light/shadows. Maybe some texture are better.
But for me the original game was already good, so the new one has not a huge difference.
It's my point of view dude. Maybe i should play it on a large screen to enjoy it..
at the cost of 80% performance, great deal
seems like the biggest difference here that i see are the reflections, textures, shadows on grass, foliage, camera, and no more yellow tint/filter. I can finally play it now after the 4.03 update because the performance got so much better compared to the performance before.
I prefer the older version.
2:45 water foam not convincing and unstable reflections.
3:50 trees and shadows sway much less and more pop up.
Really? The old game pans out for combat, and the new game pans in for combat. Never noticed the difference before, but panning out seems like a much better option.
That armour looks awesome brother. Do you know the name of that outfit 1:47
Is the update free or do you need to buy it like an expansion?
CD Project Red really did raise the bar with this game. It’s nearly 2024 and I’m still playing it.
its like they got rid of "Texas filter"
never realised Velen was so yellow
Thanks for the video!
Played the game for several hundred hours at 720p lowest setting on a laptop to get the highest possible frame rates. I played mostly on my laptop's built-in 15 inch monitor. The graphics are nice, but these details are not what you remember when you think about the game. For me it's the locations, the music, the characters and of course the story that makes this game so memorable.
Yeah, graphics are pretty irrelevant, but good enough to support the game properly.
i miss the tree animations 😢
The music takes me back everytime. It's crazy
Back in the day I used to use some ReShade to get this next-gen graphic... with minimal FPS impact... In contrast to "next-gen" version which consumes a lot of FPS.
the only thing that stuck to me was that downgraded water tessellation while Geralt was swimming
It brings me joy seeing this masterpiece is alive and well.. I was only a child when I first played it
Great work with lighting
I like to think that original Witcher 3 looks like late summer afternoon and the next-gen Witcher 3 looks like late spring afternoon
is it with RT on or off?
I wanna to play this game in 60Fps with RT. With my current rig, I just able to reach 40fps with RT so I'm gonna wait for RTX 5000 series then.
There's so much pop in with the next gen which completely ruins the immersion , the next gen looks really bad compared to the old. It's a shame new players won't get that same first impression we all got when it launched . Hopefully it's optional
Plz turn off sharpering filter on orginal version! ;) Looks much better in 4k!
