GD3D11 (aka DX11) – Renderer for Gothic has been added to the website

Most of the regularly active players in our Discord community are already familiar with this renderer and the graphical improvements it brings, but it's nice to give it its own place on the website. I'll also be using it as part of my new tutorial series on how to mod Gothic, which I’ll be launching on YouTube.

Thanks to the GD3D11 renderer, Gothic gets a modern graphical look — however, you’ll need a sufficiently powerful graphics card. Everything is configurable through the in-game menu by pressing F11, or Shift + F11 for the extended mode.

To install it, simply extract the contents of the downloaded archive into the System folder located in your Gothic installation directory (where the game is installed). I’ll show more details in my YouTube videos.

From now on, the latest version of this renderer will always be available here on the website, and we'll keep track of updates to stay organized. This renderer can be used with virtually all modifications as well as the original game, and it’s become the standard way to play Gothic nowadays.

You can also update to the latest versions even if you’re playing the New Balance mod, which usually includes a slightly older version of the renderer (as it comes bundled with the version that was current when the installer was created).

You’ll find the GD3D11 Renderer in the newly renamed section – Texture Packs and

Here’s a comparison between the default Gothic graphics and the visuals with this mod:
