We can confirm that The Witcher IV will feature NVIDIA RTX Mega Geometry, adding one of NVIDIA's newer ray tracing technologies to CD PROJEKT RED's next Witcher game. NVIDIA previously said it had been working with CD PROJEKT RED since the beginning of development, and that the game would launch with the latest RTX-powered technologies. This new detail gives that statement a specific feature name.

RTX Mega Geometry is designed for ray-traced scenes with much heavier geometric detail than traditional pipelines handle well. NVIDIA says the technology accelerates BVH building for cluster-based geometry systems, allowing far more ray-traced triangles and better performance in heavy ray tracing workloads. In simple terms, it is meant to help ray tracing scale better with dense environments, complex meshes, and high-detail assets, much like we remember the open-world Witcher series for.

Awesome.
But Hope there won't be any Mega Stutters

 

[Smiggs]

This game is going to be gorgeous. Cannot wait!

Edit: Those trees better be swaying like they're in the middle of a hurricane, though.

Ok .. but when is The Witcher 4 coming?

Did you already mortgage the house to buy the GPU performant enough to run it?

 

[GymWolf]

Noice.

 

[Flabagast]

This is going to be UE5 flagship for years to come

Cant wait

Who needs a yard with a picket fence when I have that RTX Mega Geometry to look forward to.

Jokes on you those are my favorite kind of trees

Path tracing almost confirmed then.

This game's visuals will be THE benchmark for years to come.

It was so over the top in the Witcher 3 I but I grew to love them!

Oh who cares about that, it will have path tracing man, path t r a c i n g!
But I'm not kidding, it's probably going to look sick on PC(only), and guessing 2028-9.

On the other hand this RTX Geo tech seems like such luxury in a way. Like who cares about individual needles on a pine tree while galloping on a horse through a forest?

PS6 launch title (optimistically)

Yes! My body is ready for all the rays!
