Check the version before comparing
The current Steam store listing lists The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered. Minimum: Windows 11 x64, Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600, 12 GB RAM, GTX 1660 / RX 5500 XT 8GB / Arc A580, SSD with 60 GB of free space. A separate note indicates 6GB VRAM. This data cannot be attributed to any older version of the game without explanation.
Recommended set of components
Steam lists a Core i7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600X, 16 GB RAM, RTX 2060 Super / RX 6600 XT / Arc B580 and an SSD with 60 GB of free space. The note specifies 8GB VRAM. For comparison, write down the full GPU model, the amount of video memory and the selected image mode. Similar designations in the card name do not replace checking a specific configuration.
What does Windows 11 mean in requirements
CD PROJEKT RED is announcing the end of official development and testing on Windows 10. This is not the same as saying that the game will no longer run on Windows 10; the developer is no longer guaranteeing compatibility and performance. SSD is now required. Please check your platform terms and current hardware support before choosing a version.
How to compare regular rendering and RT
The CD PROJEKT RED help states that the RT Minimum and RT Recommended tests were run with DLSS/FSR/XeSS in Auto mode, and Path Tracing also with Frame Generation. Such results cannot be compared with native rendering without taking into account the mode. The ability to revert to Classic 1.32 and version 4.04 depends on the platform; read its instructions first. Save your settings and game version next to your test result.
