Witcher 3 Remastered benchmarks show path tracing strains CPUs
Original: The Witcher 3 Remastered benchmarks reveal path tracing is a "CPU killer" as X3D chips top charts
Early benchmarks for The Witcher 3 Remastered show that path tracing places an unusually heavy load on processors, with AMD's X3D chips topping the performance charts. The findings suggest ray-traced lighting in the updated game is as much a CPU bottleneck as a GPU one, drawing attention from PC gamers weighing hardware upgrades ahead of the release.
Why now: PC gamers are weighing whether their CPUs can handle the remaster's demanding path tracing ahead of release.
