Nvidia has laid out their work with CD Projekt RED optimizing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for their GTX graphics cards. This is what you need to know to get the Northern Kingdoms looking at their shimmery tessellated best.
Nvidia boasts in particular of their GTX 900 series, which has the power to render thousands of hairs simultaneously.
On all Nvidia cards, Wild Hunt gets the benefit of HBAO+, an ambient occlusion technique that improves shadowing quality on characters and objects on the entire game. To a lesser extent, it also benefits from PhysX, which creates realistic cloth and destruction effects.
If you can, Nvidia recommends activating Dynamic Super Resolution, their solution for 4K quality graphics on a monitor of any size.
Nvidia can now also recommend Gsync since releasing this product. With Gsync variable refresh rate monitors, input lag and response times are completely minimized as much as technically possible.
Of course, there will be a Game Ready GeForce GTX The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt driver, built to optimize graphics easily. Activate Optimal Playable Settings with one click using GeForce Experience, and activate Shadowplay for video capture that does not use your CPU. Lastly, you can interact with Shield devices via GameStream, for remote play on a TV or Shield device via WiFi/4G LTE.
Nvidia also shared this recommendations list for each GTX 900 Series card.
