I'm looking to upgrade my gaming setup and I'm curious if the RTX 5070 with 12GB of RAM (priced around $600-$650) will be able to handle The Witcher 4 on high or ultra graphics settings. My current setup includes a 1080p monitor with a refresh rate of 75Hz, a Ryzen 5 5600 processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 750W PSU, all of which I've had for 5 to 8 years. I'm not particularly after ray tracing—just maybe a bit of low ray tracing. While I know the official requirements for The Witcher 4 haven't been announced yet, I'm hoping to get some insights for reference. Also, I'm considering upgrading my RAM to 32GB in the future.

Your setup seems solid! The new Witcher game is expected to run well on a PS5 at 60fps, which means your PC should definitely outperform that. While we don’t have the exact specs yet, I think you'll manage fine at medium to high settings depending on how demanding the game turns out to be.
Just a heads up, if they implement advanced ray tracing with Lumen in UE5, then it might be tricky without a more powerful GPU. But you could always resell it later if you decide to upgrade.
Honestly, it’s tough to predict right now since the game runs on Unreal Engine 5. If they fully leverage the engine's capabilities, it could require some serious power. I’d suggest being prepared for a possible GPU and CPU upgrade in the future.
No one really knows what the final specs will be, but if you just want to take a guess, you might get Witcher 4 running at decent settings with the RTX 5070, especially since it won’t have to deal with ray tracing on full blast.
