YouTube’s “Digital Dreams” has shared a video, showcasing The Witcher 3 Next-Gen at 8K with over 100 mods and Reshade Ray Tracing. This heavily modded version of TW3 aims to be as great-looking as possible. So, let’s take a look at it, shall we?

To capture this gameplay footage, the YouTuber used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with 32GB of DDR5 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Sadly, though, he did not include any Performance Overlay. As such, we don’t know the framerates the RTX4090 can push at such high resolution.

Now while the YouTuber claimed that he has shared his modlist, I can’t find a recent one on his page. So, he’s either using an old list of mods, or he hasn’t released the most recent one.

The good news here is that you can use the following mods to get close to the visuals that are in this video. And, to be honest, I don’t really see why you should resort to Reshade Ray Tracing. The Witcher 3 Next-Gen offers native RT effects. So, for the best image quality, I suggest using it. Just skip all the Reshade RT mods for this particular title.

So, what mods will you need to overhaul the game’s graphics? Well, for starters, you can download a really cool first-person mod. Furthermore, the Characters Reworked Project improves the quality of over 100 characters. Let’s also not forget this mod that lets you kill most in-game NPCs. Earlier this month, we also shared mods that restored the boat races and added 15 new quests. A modder has also restored the reputation system that CDPR cut from the game.

In December 2023, we shared this mod that restores content that was cut from all previous The Witcher games. Then we have the Witcher 3 Next-Gen Combat Redux Mod. In January 2024, we shared a must-have gameplay overhaul mod. And then, in February 2024, we shared a mod that attempted to remove the fake “hero” light from the game’s cut-scenes. There is also this mod that allows you to explore a part of the world from the first The Witcher game in TW3. Oh, and don’t forget this mod that allows you to ride a Griffin.

We also have some mods for those playing with Ray Tracing. The RTX Mirrors Mod adds proper reflections to the game’s mirrors. Then we have this mod that improves the fire effects via Ray Tracing Global Illumination. And finally, this mod fixes the Ray Tracing bleach issues.

And that is that. By using these mods, you can improve the game’s graphics. So, be sure to at least use some of them. Oh, and in a few months, we’ll have the HD Reworked Project. This mod will come out in November 2024. And I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
