It's amazing that more than a year later and gamers are still finding ways to make CD Projekt's open-world, adult-themed fantasy RPG interesting. Linas_002 had mentioned that there were gains of up to 15fps using the modification and thus worked as a way to play The Witcher 3 with a PC that doesn't quite meet the minimum system specifications. The funny thing about it is that some people in the Reddit thread are asking about using this mod as a way to bypass the minimum system requirements.

Unfortunately, it also makes the sky look pretty terrible as well, but it gives the game a very interesting look, nonetheless. Check PCGameBenchmark to see how well your PC matches the Witcher 3 system requirements. Having low mip-mapping on The Witcher 3 with high resolution means everything looks really sharp, and somewhat cartoony, similar to a Nintendo 3DS title.

Low mip-map settings are oftentimes applied to objects in the far off distance, outside the standard view range of the player.


In the case of The Witcher 3, purposefully turning the mip-mapping down to 8 will make the objects appear with lesser detail and hardly any anisotropic texture qualities, including removing transparency and certain alpha effects to make the foliage appear more realistic.
