Best The Witcher 3 (Next-Gen) settings for the NVIDIA GTX 750 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 750 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Witcher 3 (Next-Gen) runs at roughly 31 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 11FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 750 is a entry-level graphics card with 1GB of VRAM, and The Witcher 3 (Next-Gen) is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 31 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 11 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 31 FPS at 1080p and 18 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 10 FPS at 4K. The Witcher 3 (Next-Gen) offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 750 isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
The Next-Gen update adds DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A big GPU-side boost, especially with ray tracing on.
Ray Tracing (GI / Reflections / Shadows)Offsaves FPS
Ray-traced global illumination and reflections — beautiful but very heavy. Turn Off for big FPS; pair with upscaling if you want it.
Foliage Visibility RangeLow+10% FPS
How far grass and bushes render — a real cost in the open world. High is a great trade.
Shadow QualityLow+8% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Ultra.
Grass DensityLow+7% FPS
How thick the grass is. Lowering is an easy saving in fields.
Detail LevelLow+6% FPS
Overall world geometry detail and draw distance.
Ambient Occlusion (HBAO+)Off+5% FPS
Contact shadows for depth. SSAO is a cheaper alternative to HBAO+.
Number of Background CharactersLow+5% FPS
How many NPCs fill towns like Novigrad — a CPU lever in crowded cities.
Terrain QualityLow+5% FPS
Ground geometry and tessellation detail. High looks great and runs well.
Water QualityLow+4% FPS
Water detail and reflections. Modest cost.
Light ShaftsOff+4% FPS
God-rays through trees and windows. Cheap; nice atmosphere.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. Cheap; leave it On unless you want a sharper image.
Motion Blur / DoF / BloomOff+2% FPS
Post-processing effects bundle. Nearly free; pure preference.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — cheap if it fits your VRAM. Keep it Ultra on 8GB+ cards.
NVIDIA HairWorksOffbaseline
Physically simulated hair and fur. Surprisingly costly (especially on monsters) — most players leave it Off or Geralt-only.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp into the distance — essentially free, use 16x.
