The Witcher 4 FPS & GPU Guide
The Witcher 4 isn't on PC yet, so these are predicted figures from comparable engines. Here's the graphics card you'll likely need and the estimated FPS across popular GPUs. Figures are honest estimates at high settings, native resolution (upscaling raises them) - not lab measurements.
Worth knowing: Predicted (Unreal Engine 5). CDPR has confirmed only that it is not launching in 2026

What graphics card do I need to run The Witcher 4 at 1440p?
For a smooth 60 FPS at 1440p (high settings, no upscaling), you want at least an NVIDIA RTX 3070 (around $230). Faster cards give you headroom for higher refresh rates or ray tracing.
Is The Witcher 4 CPU or GPU intensive?
The Witcher 4 leans on your CPU - a weak processor will cap your frame rate no matter how strong the GPU. Pair a modern 6-8 core chip (Ryzen 5/7 or Core i5/i7) with your card.
What FPS does the NVIDIA RTX 5090 get in The Witcher 4?
Paired with a fast CPU, the NVIDIA RTX 5090 pushes roughly 123 FPS at 1080p, 89 at 1440p, and 53 at 4K in The Witcher 4 (native, high settings - upscaling raises these).
Is The Witcher 4 out on PC yet?
The Witcher 4 isn't available on PC yet (targeting 2027). These requirements and FPS figures are our prediction based on comparable engines and titles - we'll update them the moment official specs land. Predicted (Unreal Engine 5). CDPR has confirmed only that it is not launching in 2026
FPS estimates are modeled from GPU/CPU performance tiers and each game's typical demands - honest ranges, not measured benchmarks. Real numbers vary with settings, drivers, upscaling (DLSS/FSR), and scene. Prices are approximate; confirm at the retailer.
