The Witcher 3 reveals new system requirements and it’s now Windows 11 or nothing

CD Projekt has announced a new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt titled Songs of the Past, set for release in 2027. The studio will update the game's system requirements to improve performance and compatibility due to the discontinuation of support for Windows 7 and 8 in 2023 and challenges with Windows 10. The original minimum specifications included an Intel Core i5-2500K CPU, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 GPU, 6 GB RAM, and 50 GB of storage. While updated specifications may require more modern hardware, older setups may still run the game, but players will need to upgrade for compatibility with the new expansion. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Classic is available as a beta option, but it is unclear if it will support the expansion, and players on the Epic Games Store do not have access to older builds.

007 First Light PC Settings Guide

007 First Light requires a graphics card with at least 12GB of video memory for optimal performance, with 16GB recommended for higher resolutions. The game does not feature graphics presets and defaults to minimum settings in its pre-release build. Achieving a stable 60 fps at 4K resolution is challenging, with frame rates typically around 40-45 fps on lower settings. Upscaling is recommended for smoother gameplay, with GPUs like the RTX 5070 or Radeon 9070 maintaining 60-70 fps at higher quality settings. The game is compatible with the Steam Deck but runs at approximately 30 fps with significant stuttering. Optimal settings for the RTX 5070 and RTX 3060 Ti include specific configurations for transfer function, resolution scaling, texture quality, and other graphical settings to balance image quality and performance. Following these adjustments, the RTX 5070 can achieve an average of 63-70 fps, with frame generation potentially increasing frame rates but also introducing latency. Upscaling is essential for 4K gameplay unless using high-end hardware.
