The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Hearts of Stone DLC adds a load of new locations to the NE of the map. There’s now a runewright who can modifiy kit with three levels of enchantments. He’s very very very expensive though.
 
A few things, there's a new Ray traced optimisation mod out that improves perf by 5%, maybe more in other areas. It focuses solely on RTGI and RTAO:

Faster Ray Tracing Ultra Performance RT

Improves performance with ray tracing. Varies by scene but is about 10% in GPU limited scenes with dense trees. This mod contains two ini files. You can use one or both.

I did not know that there was a 21:9 fix out for the cutscenes, just like in Hogwarts, this one though needs a bit of manual labour via hex edit:

I am now using the above faster ray tracing mod and it seems nice. The loss in image quality from disabling RT reflections and shadows is not that obvious anyway it seems, so am leaving it this way. Indoors I registered about 8fps gain with the mod. This gain is not from disabling RT reflections and shadows though as I had tried that in the past and saw no obvious change in fps.

I also disabled "bloom" - It seems pointless, all it does is removes detail in highlights like where sunlight hits through a window and also uses up 2fps:

So as it stands, my personal "optimised" settings for excellent image quality, and excellent performance all round looks like this:
