The Witcher 3 System Requirements

You’ll only need the best graphics card if you’re aiming for flawless 4K performance, and even then The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt recommends using upscaling tech to help keep things running smoothly.
Here are The Witcher 3 system requirements in 2025: Take our Witcher 3 system requirements PC benchmark test to answer the question… Can I run The Witcher 3?
The Witcher 3 minimum requirements are very low in comparison to most games released in 2024, and it’s no surprise given the game is almost a decade old. An Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 will get the job done alongside an Intel Core i5-2500K and 6GB of RAM.
As for the Witcher 3 recommended specs, these don’t exactly raise the bar but were adjusted following the release of the next-gen patch. You’ll need an Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 alongside an Intel Core i7-3770 and 8GB of RAM.
Here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ray tracing system requirements: Skipping over to the Witcher 3 ultra specs, or as they’re called here the “All RT on” specs, this is where the modern hardware comes into play. You’ll need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 paired with an Intel Core i7-9700K and 16GB of RAM.
Despite the big leap in hardware, you’ll still need Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR active to achieve the most desirable performance, which is expected. If you have an Nvidia RTX 4000-series card, Frame Generation is also available and can boost performance considerably. Unfortunately, AMD FSR 2.1 doesn’t include Frame Generation, meaning the only way to access it currently would be via an AMD FSR 3 mod.
While The Witcher 3 will still run on a hard drive, we’d strongly recommend playing it on the best SSD for gaming you have to hand, as it’ll massively improve load times in the game and also allow you to download the game files much faster.
