For those looking to fix what they can until a patch from CDPR, common suggestions for performance hiccups include: removing mods, disabling ray tracing, launching in DirectX 11, and double-checking for GPU driver updates.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"article-video-container\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, those aren&#8217;t universal fixes and may only make minor improvements to bigger issues.  it&#8217;s worth noting, <u>like in this thread from u\/samuskay<\/u>, you can revert to your old build of The Witcher 3 to play without the next-gen upgrades, too.  Both Steam and GOG copies have a properties window available via a right-click;  there, you should be able to revert to older versions. <\/p>\n<p>On CDPR&#8217;s end, there&#8217;s no official hotfix for its PC performance available yet, but the developer is aware of the reports.
