We’re less than a week from the 14 December launch of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Next-Gen Update<\/a>. Now comes news that it will fully support Nvidia’s DLSS 3<\/a> upscaling and frame-rate speedifyin’ tech including frame generation.<\/p>\n

DLSS 3 support arrives in part courtesy of a new Nvidia GeForce Game Ready<\/a> graphics driver which also supports Portal with RTX and Jurassic World Evolution 2. Clearly, you are nothing in this games business if not part of a major franchise.<\/p>\n

Anywho, from a graphics tech perspective the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt gets a load of new goodies beyond the DLSS 3 shizzle.<\/p>\n

There’s ray-traced ambient occlusion, RTX Global Illumination for more immersive and realistic outdoor ray-traced lighting, ray-traced shadows and reflections, plus high-res textures all round.<\/p>\n

From a content perspective, the update includes a new Netflix-inspired quest, new Geralt equipment and new outfits for Dandelion and also Nilfgaardian soldiers, again all inspired by the live-action Netflix series. It’s a multi-genre, mega-franchise, global-illuminated cross-pollinationgasm. Huzzah!<\/p>\n
