-Minor tuning to Ambient Occlusion intensity.
~Ambient occlusion now matches the Standard/3090ti preset but uses 4 times more rays for accuracy.
-Minor tuning to grass distance/density.
RTX 4090/4000 v0.5.3 changelog:
-Reduced Ambient Occlusion intensity and added more to the grass.
-Reduced fire shadow resolution to prevent visual bugs.
-Improvements to Ray Traced water and reflections noise.
~[Experimental] Ray Traced water should now better match your sky mods. Specially visible at night. May also work with the Darker Nights mod.
~Ray Traced water now shows more small objects.
-Added a bit more intensity to sunlight.
-Increased tree render distance.
-Added some experimental changes that should help with texture quality and overall stability.
The HD Tree LOD Billboards mod was tested with this version and is now a recommended mod. See the mod combination in action below.

Phazer should be updating the 3090ti preset soon with his own changes/fixes.Updated in 0.6.1- Shadow Pop-ins nearly 100% eliminated without completely tanking performance,
- Mesh Pop-ins nearly 100% eliminated without completely tanking performance,
- RT AO adjusted for performance (with no visual downgrade)
- RT AO adjust for tree and plant, more clear, give more of a "wow" in the scene
- Draw Distance/etc Adjusted to fit with the pop-in fixes / performance
- Various technical adjustment to maximize FPS without any visual impact.
It was fine tuned on 4 different card
The 4090 version is very is demanding.
the standard version, looks almost at good, but is much less demanding.
I Looks up your AMD GPU card, and it seems to be equivalent to an Nvidia RTX 3070
Pick the "standard" non-4090 version of the mod, it says in description that it is tested om RTX 3080 and 3090ti
I changed the config to 3090ti and am at 145-150 fps stable with DLSS. Hopefully the visual quality is not worse than vanilla RT.
it was set to 8 in the 4090 config. I reduced it back to 2 to get >144 frames.
Try using DLSS auto instead of performance setting and I think you will notice good increase in fps while the image quality also improves.
@KobraKay69 wtf, have you a really old CPU ? i'm almost never below 60 with dlss quality and fg , never below 80 with balance and in the space with performance but performance aren't ok about fidelity.
full of 4k texture mods.
i oc to 3Ghz but it's just 5 fps gain on quality dlss
FE watercooled.
But TWEAK might well be able to; and our mod does NOT require/recommend TWEAK. Where did you read that?
Check: You are sure, you started the DirectX 12 version of the game? If you start the DirectX 11 version, DLSS with be grayed out.
If it is not that,
You can try
- delete: Documents/witcher13/dx12user.settings
- simply re-install the game,
The mod doesn't include anything that can disable DLSS. But I hope you get it to work :)
A question about deleting the dx12user.setting file: I have modify that file many times as required by other mods, what might happen if I delete it? Will the game self-generate a vanilla version of the file? or will the game simply not work?
Do you know changing what file can disable DLSS?EDIT: Nvm, I fixed it by reacquiring some files after verifying file integrity via Steam. Still don't know what exactly was causing the problem, but it looks like all three mods work fine. Thank you.
And sorry, we didn't know that HD Billboard "required" TWEAK, we should make a note, TWEAK is not needed, as we just need the textures from HD Billboards, and the settings needed are in the .ini:)
I saw in the ini file that you're messing with cascadeshadows as well, aren't those not in use at all when RT Shadows is on?
Performance impact is brutal on 4090 though, played at 4K DLSS Quality before with around 100 - 110 fps with Framegen and with this mod I had to lower DLSS to Performance and get between 70 - 100 fps now. But the visual difference is night and day, so to me it's worth it!
Also to note, in description it says " Your settings in "graphics" will show "low" for many setttings", but on 4090 version I only had shadow quality on low, and on 3090ti it's only texture quality is low. Is that correct, or are my settings somehow broke? :D

If you can, please also let us know what CPU you have. I tested this file on a 4090 with a 13700k at 5160x2160 with DLSS balanced and FG on. Thanks
Edit: You can also reduce the sharpness by going into the .ini file from the mod and changing the following.
[PostProcess]
DLSSSharpness=0.20000
to
[PostProcess]
DLSSSharpness=0.00000
I was asking about graphical settings mostly due to the fact that only one of the settings is being set to "Low" using the mod, as I was expecting to see more of them as such. But if its all good, then all good :D
To add, I'm using the standard version on 4.04. Simply added the ini file to the instructed location.
Would be great if someone could confirm if all the tweaks are still being used even if the in game graphics menu still shows ultra+.
The game just shows the setting it that mostly closely matches the settings in the .ini, and for setting that is not in any vanilla presset, it will show "low".
There is a way to test that the file is actually loaded, edit the .ini file with a text editor, and add this:
Find this section
[Rendering/RT]And add this
EnableLightingOnlyMode=trueAmbientLightingOnlyMode=true
Then the game will render the world in a greyish way without textures, this is a lighting debugging mode.
I'm pretty sure some of it, like the RT settings, are working - my FPS is lower and I can tell the reflections are clearer.
What I'm unsure about is the rendering or foliage settings that are included as like you said, when they are set to a value which isn't a preset, it should display as 'Low' in the in game menu. For some reason, for me, all the settings in game keep showing as Ultra+, which may indicate that these settings aren't taking effect.
What I've done for now is install the ini file as instructed, then copied some of the settings in your preset to the dx12user.ini file (mesh, LOD, grass, and foliage render distance plus a couple more); found in the documents/The Witcher 3 folder. Now some of the in game graphics settings are displaying as 'Low' as expected.
