I recommend using this mod together with Extreme Vegetation Rendering Distance

Mod can work differently, depending on the hardware, so it is recommended only for high-end PC configurations.

Soon, the version with the substituted textures from The Witcher 3.

Instruction:

Extract folder from zipped file in \The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition\
CookedPC

If someone has corrupted the user.ini or rendering.ini settings, simply delete the file from the documents and enable the game, the game will then create default settings files and you do not need to reinstall the game.

Recommended settings:

If you are editing User.ini and Rendering.ini files, do not use the settings from the game launcher, because values ​​that have changed may return to the default settings.

User.ini
[Rendering]
AllowSharpen=0 (when it is on textures and shadows look like they have anisotropic filtering turned off)
AtlasTextureDownscale=0
DetailTextureDownscale=0
MaxAtlasTextureSize=4096
MaxTextureSize=4096
TextureMemoryBudget=VRAM size of the graphics card in MB-1024
(The maximum value for card holders over 5 GB VRAM is 4084,
when this value is exceeded, textures have problems with loading)
For RTX and AMD cards, it is recommended to change TextureMemoryBudget value to 1024 (tested on RTX 2080).
TextureDownscale=0
UberSampling=0

and optional settings for high quality shadows:

MaxCubeShadowCount=4
MaxCubeShadowSize=2048

Performance

Test Platform:
Ryzen 5 3600 @4.2GHz
HP RTX 2080
16GB 3600MHz DDR4 RAM

In the most graphically demanding places, such as the vicinity of Kaedweni camp, using X4 version of AI Upscale Textures, Extreme Vegetation Rendering Distance and HBAO and all even optional settings in 3840x2160 resolution , the number of FPS drops to 30, but not below.
