The Witcher 3: Remastered launches today (September 29) on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Battle.net), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2. Whether you previously purchased the physical or digital version, you can upgrade to the remastered version for free on the corresponding platform once it goes live.
CDPR has announced the PC system requirements for The Witcher 3: Remastered. To achieve 60fps with path tracing at 4K resolution, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, along with DLSS upscaling and frame generation enabled.
It has been about 11 years since the game was released. The lower-tier configuration requirements announced this time are still relatively modest. Achieving 60fps with 4K path tracing requires both a powerful graphics card and two image enhancement features.
Detailed specifications:
To run The Witcher 3: Remastered, PC players need an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5-2600 processor, 12GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, or Intel Arc A580 graphics card. With this configuration, the game can run at 1080p/30fps on low settings. However, the GeForce GTX 1660 can also support 60fps.
To play at 1080p/60fps on high settings, you will need an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5-3600X processor, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super, AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, or Intel Arc B580 graphics card.
To play at 1440p/60fps on ultra settings, you will need an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7-7700X processor, 24GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, or Intel Arc B580 graphics card (with XeSS enabled).
Next, let's look at the PC requirements for ray tracing mode. To enable ray tracing, you need an Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7-5800X processor, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super, AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, or Intel Arc B580 graphics card. With this PC configuration, you will need to enable upscaling technology to achieve 30fps at 1080p resolution.
To enable ultra ray tracing settings at 1440p resolution, you need an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7-7700X processor, 24GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card. With this configuration, you can reach 60fps by enabling DLSS or FSR.
To experience path tracing at 4K resolution, you will need an Intel Core i9-13900K or AMD Ryzen 7-9800X3D processor, 24GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card. You can achieve 60fps by using upscaling technology and frame generation simultaneously.
