RTX 3080 vs The Witcher 3 Next Gen Update Ray Tracing
Here we test out the RTX 3080 12GB (full system specs below) in the Witcher 3 Next Gen Update, specifically focusing on Ray Tracing Performance at 4K, 1440p, and 1080p, with various DLSS settings tested to boost FPS. We also look at options for reducing the amount of frametime stutter/judder happening when ray tracing is enabled.
