The Witcher 3 is still a popular game. The title has a long single-player campaign dull of interesting quests and battles. It seems that (probably) in terms of graphics, the game was ahead of its time because even in 2022 it looks good.
The Witcher 3 is a pure PC title (it’s not a console port) and the game is light and well optimized. Even iGPUs like the AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 [R4000/5000, 15W] can achieve 34 FPS on Low settings. In most cases, you can max out the visual with a good mid-range GPU. For this article, we’ll examine the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (55W).
