    wow, maybe ill sacrifice playing at 60fps if it tht worth

  2. It sure looks nice, if only it didn’t require 4090 to run at playable framerate with RT and PT on.

  3. Ana_Nuann

    Why on earth does the second picture look so much less realistic?

  4. TheFourtHorsmen

    On SX mean 30fps on Ray tracing and an ugly experience.
    With a 4k TV and the right settings, you can still have a very good and cinematic experience.

    I wish I had a card that could run this, I don’t think my 3070 can run this at a stable framerate, maybe I’ll try it in the future when I’m able to get a 4070Ti

    With an i7-11700K and 10GB 3080 I see 38-52 fps with full path tracing. 1440p, DLSS auto, .15 DLSS sharpening. Looks incredible but I prefer the higher frame rate with regular RT

  7. SomePyro_9012

    Damn, wish I had a ~~4090~~ 40 series graphics card to be able to run the game with any kind of RT without playing like a PowerPoint presentation

  8. My PC would blow up if I tried this but holy shit what a difference

  9. *cries while barely being able to run 60 with all raytracing off*

    Still managing 60fps on a 4090 at 5k2k ultrawide dldsr and woo man. Its pretty fuckin guuuuuud. It’s making my 2.0 replay feel like a sequel kinda? Lol

    I would have probably agreed to anything in that smoked out car…

  12. Experienced this scene yesterday on my OELD and my 4090 and was really blown away how awesome pathtraying just looks along with RR.
    Yes, RR isn’t scored, but the gain in atmospherics is just impressive.
    Photorealism has never been so close.

  13. CozyUncleAdolf

    Yep. too bad glass and plastic glows with RT or PT, everything, including Dex’s glasses if you’d snapped a moment or two later.

  14. Marmeladun

    Yeah people focus on reflections, but the real meat is when all character models are properly lit.

  15. Andresc0l

    Yeah, it truly makes a difference when i go from 60 to 10 fps

  16. Shutup_England

    I wish the PS5 looked this good with RT

  17. radon9999999

    I can run the game 70 fps on max everything but no raytraceing really wish i could run it bc it just looks gorgeous espesially in the rain almost makes me wanna play 30 fps but with my build that would be horendous

  18. MRDotted

    If only AMD gave us RX users a chance to experience this at a playable framrate.

  19. Knewklear

    Isn’t path tracing different from ray tracing?

  20. A_Long98

    It’s like being able to look into the future and see what games could look like in the next few years, although the fps makes it unplayable for me I’ve been constantly using it for photo-mode at every corner I turn.

  21. it would be hella nice if RT didn’t require a new gen/high end card to be able to play with deceent fps even on 1080p, thought ray tracing would get “better” overtime but 2 gens after is still somewhat of “you need the best to run” kinda thing, even if it’s avaliable on other cards since the 20 series

  22. This is the reason why I play it in the cloud. Just a few bucks for maximum graphics.

  23. dovah164

    I recommend y’all to watch both of digital foundry’s videos on what ray tracing and path tracing does in cyberpunk 2077. Knowing the little technical stuff on what is happening is nice when you see the result in game.

  24. MyUsernameBox

    What about Psycho RT vs Path Tracing?

  25. Oneirowout

    Let me guess, me as a console player am out of luck if I want my game to look like #2? That looks ridiculously nice

  26. The problem is this pictures don’t represent this mode at all.

    As soon as there’s stuff going and motion it falls apart.

    Insane ghosting, blurry materials and reflections, weird textures on NPCs, input lag…

    I honestly like some of the good stuff, like in this picture. But overall not sure what to say… this tech still needs a lot of work.

    I’m hoping the blurriness and ghosting is a bug and will get fixed, i can live with the others. But man, riding a bike and watching your hair distort to oblivion feels bad.

  27. Charon711

    I’ve been thoroughly blown away by it on my 4070ti. Also after this update I’m getting between 60 and 120fps with frame generation.

  28. Electrical-Contest-5

    Look at Dexter’s clothing in the second pic. Bruh, it legit looks like a different game

  29. Commercial_Shine_448

    The path tracing smoke is a metaphor for my GPU trying to output more than 10fps of pathtracing

  30. Vox_Mortem

    Fat-ass Black Jesus of the Afterlife.

    I can run ray tracing, but I have a 3050 so it chokes down to 30fps. I don’t like to upgrade for just one game but it’s tempting.

  31. Aertanis

    yeah a ridiculous difference in perfomance !

  32. Game looks beautiful for me too but I’m getting grasses glitching/glittering in nighttime, anyone else with this problem?
