3. How much this modification hit performance?

It mainly depends on your video card, but generally modification doesn't hit
performance too much. Modification requires minimum a 2GB VRAM for smooth gameplay.
For best results 3GB is recommended.
Possible decrease in fps are 0-5 which depend on pc spec, game settings and ingame
location.
On GTX 970/AMD R9 290X and higher there should be no fps drop.
Also in some cases, modification can give smoother gameplay.

4. Installation:
Just install mod according to the installer's steps, be sure to enter the correct
path to your Witcher 3 Main Folder.
Explanation of installator components:
* Main HDRP files: Required core files of HD Reworked Project
* Halk's Ultra HD Config: Highly recommended to achieve best quality and game
look. Thanks to this configuration general quality of textures will be better
(better sharpness, no flickering/shimmering, better smoothness) and game will can
render 4K textures (instead of 2K). Also in some cases game can work smoother and
faster by increased textures budget.
* Priority settings for HDRP: Choose it, if you have several textures mods. This
mod requires the highest priority among textures/meshes mods, this will avoid of
any errors and glitches. So if you are using other texture/meshes mods, you must
choose this option.

5. Uninstallation:
Just use uninstaller which is located in your Witcher 3 Main Folder or in Control
Panel (Program Uninstall).
If you installed HDRP manually, to uninstall go to your Witcher 3 Main Folder/mods
and delete folder "modHDReworkedProject" and optionally (if you installed Halk's
Ultra HD Config) restore original game config from your Witcher 3 Main
Folder/Config backup.
