the game uses Nvidia physx 2.7.1 SDK and it can runs even on CPU with modified settings on XML file.

If you want to use a three and a half year old driver on a 15-year old OS, you should probably also use an old DXVK version such as 1.10.3. DXVK 2.0 onwards requires Vulkan 1.3 support.

@ROG820
why don't you try radeon 22.6.1 ?

that's right.
I used version 1.10.3 and its worked!
however the performance was lower than expected and worse than normal DX9 while forcing PhysX on CPU
thanks for helping.

@ROG820 why don't you try radeon 22.6.1 ?

I used that driver with RX 480 under windows 7 and I had 15-20 lower FPS on Witcher 3 v1.32 Compare to 21.5.2.
that's why I never going to use that driver since its has nothing but some security and bug fix only for RX 6000.
