hmmm maybe path traced aaa games are actually closer than I thought. Very cool nice video.

Performance's very good with an RTX4070ti at 1440p with DLSS 3.0, everything cranked up.
It also looks really, really good.

This is the next evolutionary step in video game graphics. Holy shit.

2018 demo vs new update.

JESUS CHRIST... I just saw on Twitter that the 7900XTX gets 9fps at 1600p FSR Balanced mode
this isn't tailored to AMD hardware it seems
Suck for amd users

3080 Ti somehow managed to impress me here, 45-50 fps in the city. Looks insane!
This is very polished so far for a technology preview, way way better than Witcher 3 RT.
I can’t believe what they pulled off, holy crap it looks good!

Holy shit, I started a completely new game and playing right now (1440p, Quality DLSS). It's so good!!! To me this kinda changes everything, the atmosphere, the grounding... I actually care about what happens in the experience/game now, and I feel like a kid at christmas. Yeah, I'm a graphics whore, and I'm totally fine with feeling good about it. 4090 justified.

yes its good performance
before anyone jumping to say "but its 720p at 1080p dlss quality"
well, I made some tests. 1080p dlss quality produces identical quality to native (or better in certain stuff). however both looks very blurry sadly. its a win but not a good win regardless
DLAA is a solid win tho

1080p60 I'd say.

Can *easily* stay consistently over 70 FPS with DLSS3 enabled all cranked up at 1440p with a 4070ti and a 13700k, so I imagine you can get slightly better results.

They're gonna have to pump up those RT cores for the future.
I wonder how Intel performs here. (if intel even has drivers ready)

There is so much material from this floating around now showcasing the tremendous difference it makes and there are STILL some idiots downplaying RT in general when the discussion should have been done and gone with Metro Exodus EE at the latest already.........

I could see intel performing on par with comparable Nvidia cards if the drivers work

Looks good but yeah it can destroy your framerate in some scenes. It's not just 10-20 fps drop, in some cases since I have lots of saves, I've seen it eat even 60 fps. Doubt ill use it when Im replaying it when expansion launches, but maybe theyll optimize it a bit more until then. Psycho-raytracing still looks good as it is.

are you salting or you love pseudo RT?

Then the military is going to invest in that tech, make it cheaper through government spending and then it will reach consumer goods.

I was finally able to play the game maxed out at a high frame rate before this update, now I'm back to ~100 FPS. It looks great but I may try to reduce some other settings to get more frames out of it. I'd love to finally finish this game but there has always been an update I held out for.

This update is insane. Game already looked great without pathtracing. Everything looks like its in the same space now if that makes sense. Everything has weight to it.

NO RT vs PT
PsychoRT vs PT
NO RT vs PsychoRT
Honestly not sure how to feel about it. I mena yeah, some shadows are better and look nice but on the other hand some distance areas dont look good, like they are not lightened up as they should but instead are too dark/covered in too many shadows.

Yes
This is something that is hard to put the finger on and doesn't transfer well in screenshots, but your brain knows it feels more grounded in reality, just like VR tricks the brain with depth perception of objects even if they look simplistic. Your brain knows when the lighting doesn't make sense but we've been on that rasterization train for decades now, so it just has that "gamey" look.

13700K / 4080 / 3400x1440p. Got 75 fps average in the benchmark with everything maxed out, DLSS Quality and frame generation. Occasional drops below 60 in Night city but not that frequently. Ultrawide takes its toll I suppose.
I guess I'm gonna spend the evening optimizing settings. I will probably bring some settings down for some frames and go with DLSS Balanced.
Guess it's time to start overclocking as well. Psycho RT already felt incredible, this now is just crazy.

Makes me think VR with pathtracing would be revolutionary. Might be possible with DLSS.

WOW 16GB VRAM usage at 4K, not even TLOU1 require so much VRAM.

Yeah same PC as me, been going around in crowded city areas and it runs absolutely terribly without DLSS (roughly 30fps) but with frame generation I’ve never even seen the counter go below 100. Top update! Time to get some new raytraced Panam booty shots

This one then
Anyway,
Not mine but
Psycho vs Overdrive
Psycho vs Overdrive 2
Looking at those, the brain just settles in a mode where the scene makes sense, it is physically based lighting. Not that it looks bad without RT, but it's a freaking world of difference when we stop to look for it, especially with anything that is with light bounces - in shadow.

Ok so I just tried it on my 12900k / 4090
While this is very cool, I think CP2077 is not the right type of game for tech like this. I'm thinking something more constrained experience that is also designed to use this kind of lighting from the beginning. Maybe something like Hellblade 2?
For CP2077 I'd like denser simulation of city and game mechanics, not necessarily even better graphics.

I've seen the video on my 65tv, definitely improved and more accurate... but I don't know if I can say this is a game changer. Maybe it's because the video compression, or because Cyberpunk was not meant to have RTX, or the level of geometry is not insane, so everything looks accurate but still game-y to me.
For example, the Matrix demo is still more impressive and realistic to me, while Cyberpunk still make me feel I'm playing a videogame, a beautiful videogame, but still a videgame.

I haven't had time to look deep into it but it seems like ambient occlusion and SSR can be entirely disabled now. There's like a small fps difference, but i honestly couldn't tell the purpose of it now.

As with any game with RT reflections and AO they get replaced by RT so no need.
Buggy Loop

I was thinking so but even in RT psycho they had remnants of being used sometimes. Here I can’t find it though with overdrive, but had a ~3 fps difference, maybe just a case of repeating benchmark or something.
Also control is borked with RT, screen space reflection remains in effect.
The Cockatrice

I just tested and saw no visual and perf difference with them on or off. Didnt know about the Control bug. Maybe they still use SSR on certain surfaces that RT wasnt used?
Buggy Loop

For control probably, hybrid rasterization+RT is always a mix result.
Ok so no performances difference, must have been on my end.
