Our video cards were tested at resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 at maximum graphics quality settings.
| GPU TEST |
In the test of video cards, the default resolution is 1920x1080, other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most productive CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.

| UPDATE OUTPUT v. 4.02 |
As we can see, patch 4.02 for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt brought minor changes in terms of performance. To a greater extent, this concerns an increase in processor performance, which gave an increase in the region of 10-15%. Some video cards have added FPS, and some have lost.
All in all, if you're expecting miracles to improve optimization with this patch, then they're not - the RT performance of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt update still leaves much to be desired...
