Pro and perhaps pre-patching for the X.

Lol.
So why can i do 30, 60, 120 and 240 fps with the same CPU by changing graphic options?
Those crappy Jaguar CPUs in the Xbox One and Ps4 are enough to run basically every game at 120hz, if the developer would want that...
You can because the CPU is not the limit. If CPU is limiting factor, changing resolution won't help much. It really depends on the game. 120hz with a game lije witcher 3 on Jaguar is daydreaming. There are already much beefier CPUs on PC that can't do it.

Wouldn't it be expected that CDPR who would be balls deep in Cyberpunk would need to be paid to patch a two and a half year old game?
Sony will need to pony up too if they want a Pro patch.

It's confirmed to be both Pro and X getting patches.

There is one coming.
A Pro patch has already been confirmed.

I'm aware. I'm referring to the "money hat" claims. It's an old game. Of course they'd need to be paid to patch it for these consoles.

Hopefully the Pro patch is released soon. Great news if true!
I wonder if they'll go 1440p or use checker board to get to 1800p.

1440p is good enough for me, Titanfall 2 looks stunning in that res on a 4K display.

I still hunger for a PC patch that boosts the engine to properly support some of the ini tweaks that really improve the overall presentation without technical issues. Specifically the grass render distance tweak, which I can no longer push beyond standard without hitching.
Won't come, but I can dream.

It would be better to increase graphical fidelity. The Witcher 3 on consoles didn't look that great. They can offer both modes: higher resolution and increased fidelity like in ROTTR.

Really hope this sees the start of a trend with a few more older titles getting Pro patches.
With 2 such similar mid gen refresh consoles on the market, the economy of scale should hopefully kick in to make these upgrades financially viable.

Downsampling is a given if resolution is greater than 1080p on Xbox One X. Doesn't need an extra mode.

Have you ever tried TW3 on RAM disk?
I know not of what a RAM disk is. Would it help?
My hardware is excellent, but yeah. I always figured it was a CPU load issue.

Really looking forward to hearing the details. Native 4K or checkerboard with better AA and perhaps even extras? Speaking about X here, don't have a PS4.

We know nothing about the patch so far, so it's possible.

X1X neither in 4K for this game!
Neither does the X, an option for uncapped framerate could be offered though.
I am thinking they will go high framerate at 1080p mode and then 4k30. The option to choose would be nice.

Hdr is never a pro/x exclusive thing. Most of the legwork involved for hdr is done by the expensive displays.
We obviously dont know whether itll get hdr at all but if it does, it most assuredly will come to all of them
I thought most, if not all of the performance issues have been ironed out in later patches. It should run smooth with boost mode at least.
Man I really hope we get HDR support. I'd rather have it run at 1440p with HDR than a higher resolution and without HDR.
Your Pro is faulty, because boost mode locked the game.

Eh? According to Digital Foundry it's basically a locked 30fps on the Pro. I don't think the new Pro patch is going to make it a 60fps game, if that's what you're hoping for.
No, a 200mhz CPU overclock over the Pro isn't going to take a 30fps game to 60fps.

Its not going to be 60fps. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
According to DF test W3 is almost locked 30 fps even with non-Pro PS4 these days. So if you are having performance issues with Pro you should probably figure out what is wrong your console.

If we talk of dreams and grass in W3, I dream of them making an update to the vegetation of the base game to reach the quality of B&W.
A RAM disk is a virtual hard disk done with ram. You assign for example 10gb of your ram to it, and windows would believe you have a new extra hdd of 10gb. The advantage is that ram is still much more faster than SSDs.
If you have big amounts of ram and the game is small, you can load up the entire game on it. Otherwise, you can put a critical data file on it, and use a symlink to make Windows believe it's still on c:\games\whatever.

Thank you, I hadn't seen that! Great news, now we just need to see what it breaks and how many patches it will take to fix

Insane For Sony
Isnt the game basically locked 30FPS on pro using boost mode? I know thats what the videos showed back when people were testing benefits of boost mode, and it looked to be that way from my limited testing too.
It runs almost exactly like that on base PS4, that was the verdict of DF on that boost mode test. After all those patches, they managed to squeeze a quite stable 30 FPS out of the PS4 Amateur.

Anyone know if this patch is just visual or if it'll include any additions or changes to gameplay? I'm still holding out hope they'll do something to address the combat.

99.9% chance the patch to be visual only + bug fixing.

Why would they, MS can pay, but I doubt Sony would be inclined to...Witcher 3 sold the most on PS4, they praised consoles for the most success they ever got, there's no way Sony is paying these guys for a patch....
If they want the good graces for gamers, especially the most installed console, they will patch it. If they only patch XBONEX, they are just looking for bad press and a backlash....I think if anything theses guys wanted to patch both mid gen consoles at the same time, perhaps the same with ID software on DOOM.

I highly doubt that if you don't like the combat in The Witcher 3 then a patch for PS4Pro and XBoxOneX years after the initial game isn't going to change it. I don't remember the combat being bad? I guess it's a perspective thing. I accept every game I play as it's own thing. I don't compare it to any other game other than it's own previous ones. The combat they put in is the combat they wanted to put in - so again I suspect zero change to it this far along.

I don't think you factored in the 4GB of extra ram and the insane boost in bandwidth.
