The Continent is calling again. With CD Projekt Red shifting to Unreal Engine 5 for their next saga, local gamers are asking one massive question... can your current rig actually handle it? If you are eagerly hunting for the definitive RTX 5070 The Witcher 4 High Settings at 1440p FPS results for 2026, we have the exact breakdown you need. Spoiler alert... it is time to upgrade. 🐺

The Next-Gen GPU Landscape

Nvidia has completely redefined mid-range performance with their 50-series architecture. The RTX 5070 is purpose-built for 1440p dominance, making it the perfect match for incredibly demanding open-world titles. If your current pixel pusher is screaming for mercy just loading up the main menu, browsing the latest graphics cards is your first step toward monster-hunting glory.

Analyzing the 1440p Framerates

Running a massive Unreal Engine 5 environment with full Lumen lighting and Nanite geometry is no joke. Without any upscaling tricks, the RTX 5070 delivers a highly respectable 65 to 75 frames per second at native 1440p on High settings.

Switch on DLSS Frame Generation, and those numbers easily spike past the 110 FPS mark. You get buttery-smooth combat without sacrificing the stunning visual fidelity of the new Lynx school medallion. If you want this exact level of performance straight out of the box, checking out our best gaming PC deals will save you the hassle of building a rig from scratch.

TIP

Optimise Your Framerates ⚡

When tweaking Unreal Engine 5 titles, always leave Global Illumination on 'High' rather than 'Ultra'. The visual difference is almost invisible to the naked eye, but you will claw back up to 15% more FPS for smoother swordplay.
