The Witcher 3 Remastered with Path Traced Hair OFF vs ON The difference in Geralt’s hair is huge.

as someone who didn’t play the remastered yet is that in the settings?

Yep, it’s in the settings! You can enable it just for Geralt or set it to “On,” which I’d guess includes other characters too. Though as you can see with Triss here, I didn’t notice any difference. :/

For me it looks off. Like, it's WAY to reflective. I turned it off as it wasn't worth the performance draw.

I can see what you mean about the shine, but yeah, it’s definitely heavy on performance!

How do you enable it? I use path tracing and everything but the option for path traced hair is greed out.

You enable it in the graphics settings, but it’s strange that it’s greyed out for you. What GPU are you using?

Not just for me. On reddit multiple fellow gamer have the same issue. Using 4080super + Ryzen 9 7900x.

From the replies you’ve received, I’d guess it might be exclusive to the RTX 50 series, but I’m not sure myself. Can anyone with an older RTX card confirm whether they can enable it?

Do you have a comparison like this, but with Nvidia Hair Works? I'm honestly not sure it's even worth turning thaton.

Doesn't worth the 50% perf loss probably

hairworks off vs on too

Bloom off

Is it alongside motion blur and the other settings? I’m at work so I can’t check right now, but if so, I’m pretty sure I already turned it off.

Ye it's somewhere there, not sure if it's on here XD just wanted to point it out since it looked "bloomy" lmao

Is these real color?

-- But that's negligible at best! -- Correct! You bill is 45 extra fps, how do you like to pay? DLSS or gameplay quality at low fps?

Geralt is also using Nvidia hairworks, something that is applied to him and the beasts, not NPCs like Triss. That's why it looks better with him. I don't see a big difference with Triss

i gotta say, the standard hair looks better for me, since it actually is affected by the breeze and such

I wish they would remaster the original Witcher TBH. The difference here is so minor.

Fun fact: pathtracing is LESS demanding than standard raytracing on this remaster lol
