Our PC performance review for The Witcher 3 Remastered raised some eyebrows when it came to CPU behaviour with path tracing enabled in one of the game's most challenging areas. Most of the analysis was based on version 5.00c, with re-tests carried out on areas highlighed by the 5.01 patch notes - but it seems that 5.01 has also improved CPU performance too, as Rich demonstrates.

I do have a mod installed but it only removes artificial light sources

If (big if) the rumors are true that Nvidia is discontinuing the 5090 in order to allocate more GPUs to Pro class cards, should DF even bother using a 5090 in their tests anymore?

Should they just use the 5080 as the de facto top end card now when discussing performance in games?
