Support NeoGAF

[Buggy Loop]

Yeah smart move, im gonna do the same. Still on 11th gen i7K, does the job for now but next upgrade needs to be big.

Still doesn't explain the delta he had with GHG for the same setup, while i don't know GHG's memory speed, on AM4 you're limited to DDR4 anyway and going too fast has little to no return on X3D.

Topher did you bother with PBO tweaking or you ripped it out? I can only think of thermal throttling left as the culprit. 5800X3D is a bit weird depending on coolers, but PBO tweaking is crazy on those chips. I can even run mine on a NH-L12s with tweaked quiet fan profile. When i slapped it in the tower initially without any adjustments, it had crazy thermals and fan spun like a jet engine.

I ran the Cinebench stress test and my CPU got around 49-50 degrees max. Didn't feel like heat was really an issue for me. But hard to compare two systems like that. Different MBs, RAM, etc. Also, GHG mentioned updating the bios. I didn't do that either. I'm betting his system is just better optimized than mine.

Photo mode enhances the image. You can tell that by the FPS difference when you enter photo mode vs actually playing.

I've taken comparison shots between gameplay and photo mode galore, and besides resolution that is indeed increased, I have not seen anything else. No extra shadows, better draw distance or more rounded objects.

I like this as I hate photo mode where extra detail is added beyond resolution.

My understanding of the photo mode was that if you leave the other settings alone it will basically only remove vignettes and apply sharpen (and too oversharpened for gameplay IMO)..?

(It seems to also change in-game screens/displays content).

Is it just me or does the DLSS option jump back to "Auto" when restarting the game, I'm confused.

Yeah, don't know about vignette, as I have disabled all those effects, but as I said, I've seen only the resolution being higher.

 

[Turk1993]

1 thing i noticed is that if you enter photomode all the kids and midgets disappear.

 

[djinferno807]

I was very excited for this update as I was having the same issue as lot of people with the "memory leak" or gradual fps loss since launch. Or more specifically fps tanks and GPU shoots up to 100% when opening the map or inventory. Actually opening these triggers the issue then until a restart occurs the game runs poorly and even leaving the map keep fps low in the 20s for a few minutes.

I will say 2.0 gave me 15 more fps with exact same settings and the traversal stutter is all gone. I can run super smooth 60 fps 4K dlss quality now. Before it would be between 40-50 fps.

But sad to say doesn't last long. Opening the map or investory a few times triggers the fps drop and GPU 100% utilization issue. Actually main character interaction cutscenes triggers this as well. Then I have to restart.

Anybody else have this? I'm banging my head against my desk. I just want to enjoy the game. I don't know what else to do.

some video settings are bugged. they revert to default like RR going back to on no matter what.

It adds the layer after you hit the space bar to take the pic. It's mostly what you see there. Pretty stunning real time gfx.

 

[Mitsurugi Reiji]

I'm not sure.



Psycho RT preset. No PT. Turned off Film Grain, Chromatic Aberration, Depth of Field, and Lens Flare. Everything else default.

Thanks. Is your screen space reflection quailty also Psycho? What is your DLSS Sharpness?

Just checked and SSRO was on Ultra rather than Psycho. DLSS sharpness is .50.

Cool. I dont know why I feel IQ has taken a hit since last update.

 

[yet_another_alt]

dude zoom into stuff.

cyberpunk has some weird texture layering system where the closer you get, the better textures it loads

I dare you, go ahead and make close inspections. everything will look amazingly detailed actually lol

this game has insane detail that would actually make a 8K screen usable in a good way. most of this detaill will even be unnoticable at 1440p/4k resolutions. it is that good.

Now post a picture of the french fries.

Btw, here are screenshots "before layer" vs photomode "after layer":

I for one don't see a lot of difference. But I may be blind, so take with a grain of salt.

Edit: It just occured to me that perhaps closer objects are more affected than architecture. IDK.

Look at the reflections. Look at the lighting reflecting off the magazine laying on the desk. Fucking wild.

This is the best looking games right now with PT. Only thing that bothers me is that they didn't upgrade 2020 textures...

 

[Windom Earle]

Pls ban low res screenshots itt. Well, 4k is not exactly high res for a screenshot thread either but a couple more:

Even 32K won't help if the screenshots are bland.

Is there a better looking game out there, even without PT?

That "games" was meant to be "game".

No, there isn't, CP is the best looking game both from technical and visual perspective. It's the new Crysis in this aspects, it wasn't topped since 2020 and only got better looking after PT patch.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Theres also a texture mod coming from the same guy who did the Witcher 3 one, he said shortly after PL release. Will work well with the blurry dlss.

Agree 100%. Every time I jump back in, I'm just marveling at the scenery and atmosphere. Was just driving through downtown and wished I had stopped to take a screenshot of the two holographic fish. Amazing.

Got a link to that? Keep us posted when that hits.

It really isn't, besides resolution, I've taken tons of photo mode shots vs gameplay shots. Also I don't take the screenshot with the game tool or steam.

Man this game when it fires from all cylinders looks bonkers, it may have lows, but the highs are fucking sky high.

[Bonfires Down]

Yeah, I’d say this is the new Crysis. Except that it’s actually pretty well optimized.

 

[Schmendrick]

I tried to run the game with PT on my new Double UHD ultrawide monitor just for shits and giggles... think I got 1 to 5 FPS with my 3080.
This game will be a GPU benchmark for years.

 

[Mitsurugi Reiji]

Is anyone having this light flicker issue? it is kinda distracting.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It's rare and only happened in the beginning before I tweaked the RR and PT initially. It's not rampant and haven't noticed it for most of my play through.

[Zuzu]

This game is the greatest city based open world game now

 

[salva]

Holy fk from dropping this at launch with how it ran on Xbox One and the bugs, to starting a new character on my PC with the 2.0 update, this is amazing.

Also, after around 50-60 hours in Starfield, the NPC conversations, voice acting etc in Cyberpunk are next level and makes Starfield look even more robotic. I still absoltely love Starfield and up to the last main quest mission, but I think once that's done and I spend a bit of time in NG+ - I cannot wait to get back into Cyberpunk and then Phantom Liberty expansion later.

True story I actually thought it was part of the 2.0 enhancements at first! I wiped the install and reinstalled the game so never thought about mods. But I didn’t wipe the mods in Vortex and forgot I had that added lol

 

[Windom Earle]

This game is not the new Crysis because it is well optimized. Sure you need a 4090 and frame generation for 4k, but I get 100+ fps mostly since the DLSS 3.5 update.
Crysis runs like shit to this day due to the poor CPU performance when a lot of AI is around. This is better than Crysis.

 

[baphomet]

Hitting 120fps average at 3440x1440 with everything at max and DLSS quality. Balanced was up around 155fps.

UI bugs have been a part of CP2077 since day one, usually theyd get fixed with a reload but guess they just kinda messed it up recently. Its CDPR, thats why I didnt start replaying it right away Witcher 3 next-gen updated broke the entire game.

This bug doesn't go away in no other way except choosing a different option during a discussion with metal arm, so it is just a matter of how old that save is.

The answer about howto fix it from the devs is the same as it was 3 years ago, absolutely laughable.

I swear i'm having more bugs and glitches with this 2.0 version of the game that when i played 80 hours at launch.

 

[GymWolf]

Yeah, i'm playing the game maxed out and it is nowhere near that clean, especially with all the visual noise and shit introduced by pt and rr.

 

[Tunned]

The game runs smooth maxed out, on a 4090, and update 2.0 finally pulled me in after 12 hours of not feeling the game.

Is the game known to have hardcore pop in, and non loading LODs? For example when I was driving past the landfill next to the dam, half the garbage will load but the other remain as a low res lod..

And I don't understand how the rain effects are so cheap in this game, it's just a cheap texture. GTAV did it well 10 years ago, each rain drop seemed to be individual, yet CP rain looks like ass

The atmosphere in the game though... god damn it's immersive. I wish the game had third person view on foot.

 

[sertopico]

Unfortunately they fucked something up with lighting and self shadowing. If you notice npcs hair do not project hair shadows on themselves anymore. I don't know if it's because of ray reconstruction.

That's true. Crysis in 2007 showed and and completely destroyed both hardware and competition. There was no better looking game for years, even now game still looks impressive in some aspects (physics) after... 16 years.
