Nvidia confirms The Witcher 4 reveal trailer was rendered on the $2000 RTX 5090

NVIDIA has confirmed that The Witcher 4 reveal trailer was rendered using the recently announced GeForce RTX 5090 GPU. Initially, the trailer said it was “pre-rendered in Unreal Engine 5 on an unannounced Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU,” leading to speculation about the hardware behind such impressive visuals. Now, with NVIDIA’s official announcement, the RTX 5090, priced at $2,000, emerges as a key player in the game development process.

In a recent post, NVIDIA stated: “The long-awaited sequel, The Witcher IV, recently debuted with a stunning reveal trailer, which we can now confirm was pre-rendered in Unreal Engine 5 on a GeForce RTX 5090. NVIDIA has been working with CD PROJEKT RED since the beginning of the game‘s development, and once it is ready for release, The Witcher IV will launch with the latest technologies powered by RTX.”

While the trailer offers an exciting glimpse into the game‘s potential, the use of pre-rendered images raises questions about how accurately it reflects the game‘s performance. CD Projekt Red has emphasized that the trailer shows “a cinematic look at the type of experience The Witcher 4 aims to bring to players” and is powered by the same Unreal Engine 5 technology used to create the game. However, until both the title and the RTX 5090 are available, it is unclear whether such images can be achieved in real time.

The RTX 5090 itself represents a significant advancement in consumer GPU technology, suggesting that The Witcher 4 aims to push the graphics envelope. Fans and industry experts are now speculating about the hardware requirements needed to achieve the visual quality shown in the trailer.

It’s clear that The Witcher 4 will likely set a new benchmark for graphical excellence, combining Unreal Engine 5 with NVIDIA’s cutting-edge RTX technologies. For gamers, the key question is not whether the game will look impressive, but what level of hardware investment will be required to fully enjoy the experience.
