The Witcher 3 Remastered: EVERY Graphics Mode Compared (Raster to DLSS 5 X2) | 5K RTX 5090

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt REMASTERED - THE ULTIMATE Graphics Comparison. Every rendering mode tested one-by-one and side-by-side at 5K resolution with Max Settings on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090: Raster, Ray Tracing, Path Tracing, and DLSS 5 (Single Pass & Dual Pass Neural Rendering). Various DLSS 5 models and combinations tested and compared (RASTER + DLSS 5, RT + DLSS 5, Model A vs B vs C, etc). This is the most comprehensive visual + performance breakdown of Witcher 3 I've done. The video is split into 5 sections: 🎬 CUTSCENE COMPARISONS (0:00) Full prologue cutscenes with a live reveal bar cycling through every mode (Raster → Ray Tracing → Path Tracing → DLSS 5 X1 → DLSS 5 X2), including close-up freeze-frames on character faces for detail comparison. 📸 STATIC WORLD COMPARISONS (15:54) Static scenes across different locations, comparing each mode one-by-one with a reveal bar, followed by side-by-side comparisons (Raster → RT → PT, then PT → DLSS5 X1 → DLSS5 X2). 🗣️ CHARACTER COMPARISONS (27:30) I tried to include every major character I could, - synced and split into a 5-way screen, showing all rendering modes simultaneously during dialogue. 📊 PERFORMANCE TESTING (34:16) Real-time FPS / frametime / CPU / GPU / power etc. overlay across 3 different locations (White Orchard, Novigrad, Toussaint), showing exactly how much performance each mode costs. 🎁 BONUS: DLSS 5 MODEL COMPARISON (36:00) Standard (A) vs Natural (B) vs Cinematic (C) models using single DLSS 5 pass. Additionally: Raster / RT / PT combined with DLSS 5 X1 / X2 and compared to each other. Recorded on vanilla versions of the game (clean v5.00b - v5.01). No other mods were used besides the DLSS 5 injection described below.
