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
New benchmarks for The Witcher 3 Remastered show that path tracing places an unusually heavy load on processors, with tests describing the effect as a "CPU killer." AMD's Ryzen X3D chips lead the performance charts, suggesting their large 3D V-Cache gives them a clear edge in the remaster's demanding ray-traced mode.
Why now: PC gamers are weighing upgrade decisions as new benchmark data shows the remaster is far more CPU-bound than expected.
