I don’t understand how they can go from the Witcher 3, which looked like a cross gen 360-Xbox one game, to this: which looks like the first next generation game. It’s amazing!
What's interesting is that a friend of mine who games a LOT on PS4 and now PS4 Pro and is getting a PS5 when he can ... he just played The Witcher 3 for the first time a couple of months ago. He's completely blown away and thinks it's one of the top 5 best looking games on PS4
Then I showed him the PC version. And he's now going to get a gaming PC for the first time in his life.
Shrug, everyone likes what they like. I get that you and some others weren't impressed, but there are a lot of people who still feel that TW3 is one of the best looking games of the PS4/XBO era.

Remember SotC on PS2?
A PS5 wont be maxing this one out i think. Not even 3090 does that without dlss.
Sorry but that has to be a mistake; especially with the thing about the PC version as there is little to no difference between ultra and 2013 PS4 non pro.
If he really thinks that game is top 5 PS4 then he has not played God of War, the last of us 2, Spider-Man, horizon, The Order, RDR2, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Final Fantasy, just to name a few.
As those games would make Witcher 3 a top 10 game, at best.
I am not trying to diss Witcher 3, just stating technical facts.
The Witcher 3 has weird character proportions, movement, as well as animations. The colors especially look very cartoony. It’s like comparing Forza Horizon 4 versus Forza 7, with Witcher 3 being Forza 7. Nobody is going to claim Forza 7 has better lighting or graphics.
Not only character models and skin rendering, also lighting and animations.God of war, Horizon and death stranding are empty as hell. Look their environnement vs W3. Yeah I played them all. Everything is not about the main caracter model...
Some DLSS modes will be at or below 1080p rendering resolution when played at 4k. On my computer with a 2070 Super, everything cranked I get about 4FPS in Cyberpunk2077 at 4k with DLSS off, and 35ish with ultra performance DLSS. Almost 9x the performance at that resolution. The image quality isn't identical, obviously, but it's still cleaner than 1080p upscaled to 4k. The only other games I can think of where DLSS makes a game this much more playable are Quake 2 RTX and Minecraft RTX.if the 3090 is running at 4K and the PS5 can be locked to 1080P then the PS5 might have even better graphics or frame rate.
Framerate is a big reason why Witcher 3 looks better on PC, and it's hard to see it in youtube videos, and impossible in stills. The foliage has so much motion in W3, and it's really held back by lack of temporal information on consoles.

Honestly, if the ray tracing is the same I wouldn't expect much better than 1080p 30fps on Series X or PS5. Although, I doubt they use the "insane" lighting option and maybe even use lower reflection quality. I wish more things were sliders on PC with quality options, instead of the on/off toggles, but honestly, I don't even know if it would make much of a difference. Turing on RT and turning off all of the RT effects still has a performance penalty, and toggling the effects on has a smaller hit than turning on RT to begin with.
DLSS might be the game changer though, I don’t expect the consoles to have their alternative ready when the PS5, Series X upgrade drops.
I would expect CPU performance impact more the Xbox as well.Boy that is rough.
720-900p on PS4 (What the heck is One S going to look like? lol)
972-1188p on 4Pro
Cinematic framerates on PS4. :| Mostly 30 on 4Pro until you get into the car.
They already had some nice features on Ps4Pro which should be on Ps5, perhaps they have found some new features to add.Wait a little to see if Sony has a new reconstruction technology or not.

GNM is very slim API, apparently even when compared to Vulkan and DX12.

I would expect at least Ps5 exclusive games use id buffer and such quite bit more than they did on Ps4pro. (Due to all machines having it.)

I think the issue here is a 2012 average low power CPU. There are some limitations that I don't think you can optimize for.
Ok I have some major fps drops outside with big crowds down to 30fps or so. (RTX 3070, RTX 3900x, 1440p all ultra with dlss). I dunno if it is the big crowds or what but it continues even when going indoors. A quick save and reload bounces the fps back to around 50-60.
Maybe I should drop RT lightning ro medium. Or resolution to 1080p or crowd size to medium? Tons of options to tweak.
I did the first mission (rescuing a woman) completely non lethal using stealth and hacking. Jackie wasn't too impressed, but it shows that it is down to player how to tackle missions which I'm very happy about. BTW I play on hard to feel more immersed. Fantastic experience so far, but I play on decently powerful PC with no RT but otherwise Ultra settings. BTW, there is a big cash reward for anyone exploring at Vs apartment building
