Following the release of the PlayStation 5 Pro, comparisons with PC hardware are inevitable. YouTuber Cycu1 has compared The Witcher 3 running on a PS5 Pro against a PC equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 4080 and an Intel i7 13700K.
The comparison reveals noticeable differences. The PS5 Pro version shows frequent resolution drops and a "soap-like" appearance in many scenes. Additionally, the console version suffers from occasional FPS drops and issues with rendering details in motion. It's important to consider that The Witcher 3 hasn't received a patch specifically optimized for the PS5 Pro. The PC version in the comparison utilized ray tracing, further enhancing its visuals.
Commenters pointed out that the comparison isn't entirely fair, as The Witcher 3 lacks a dedicated PS5 Pro version. However, some users confirmed the observed performance issues, reporting similar problems with FPS and resolution on Sony consoles. Whether a PS5 Pro patch will address these issues remains unclear.
