Released in May 2015, the Witcher 3 is the final game in the Witcher series. It utilizes the REDengine3 with Umbra 3 developed by the developer, CD Projekt RED. It features the hero, Geralt, on a quest to eliminate the Wild Hunt and rescue his adoptive daughter. Taking place in an open world that is one of the largest worlds in a game, it includes multiple ecosystems, a day and night cycle, dynamic weather, and roaming NPCs.

Benchmark Results: A 5.5% performance difference between the two processors, shows that the Witcher 3 doesn’t have a huge amount of Physics calculations to perform. That little difference in performance is so minor. While playing The Witcher 3 on both processors, it is impossible to tell which processor was running at which time. Overclocked, the G4400’s performance goes up slightly, less than 1FPS, making it not worth the added stress on a budget processor.
