CYBERPUNK 2077 [PC Specific Patches and Settings]

[GhostofWar]

Extremely impressive. I'll be taking a look at DLSS 3.5 right away on Thursday. If someone had told me a few years ago that games would soon look like this I wouldn't have believed it. Especially not in such an open game with dynamic weather and times of day.

It's very cool, can remember back to when I was a kid playing around with a cracked copy of lightwave on my amiga 500 trying to copy the babylon 5 spaceships and waiting like 1/2 a day or more for them to render and thinking one day games will do this. Then fast forward 30 odd years and turing ships and i'm thinking well we finally are getting to raytracing I guess but this looks like i'll be in a nursing home before we get full raytracing, then we get quake/minecraft and i'm thinking it's still too much for a AAA game to do by the looks but maybe before I get too old, then cyberpunk overdrive comes out and it's like you crazy bastards did it, then my glass half empty side kicks in and my first thought is it's a shame we wont probably get anything else this ambitious and then alan wake 2 goes for it.

Excited to see where we end up in 10+ years (and i wont even be in a nursing home from old age yay).

New system requirements for Phantom Liberty:

New system requirements for Phantom Liberty:

Either that expansion loves Nvidia or those specs are a bit off. Even for non-RT Ultra they have a 7900XTX in the same category as a 3080??!

edit: also is this the first game to actually recommend an NVMe drive (over standard SSD)?

In Path Tracing a 3080 is indeed 30% faster than 7900XTX @4K. With the 4090 being 3.5x times faster than 7900XTX.

However in Ray Tracing the 7900XTX ties the 3080Ti at 4K, while the 4090 is about 2x times faster than both.

You must have missed the key bit there...

Even for non-RT Ultra ...

And then you go and link RT only benchmarks?

Hopefully AMD will have a driver out soon because getting beaten by a 5yr old card (2080ti) is some cringe.

Just as a heads up, those 40 series numbers are not comparable to other cards:

"Due to configuration error all GeForce 40 cards were tested with DLSS 3 Frame Generation enabled. We're retesting right now and will update this review ASAP"

Yep. That’s why I compared with the 2080ti and the fact it’s sad/funny.

Going through the TechPowerUp comments it seems they might need to redo the benchmarks. @W1zzard's response to one comment:

The 7700XT is now faster than a RTX 3090 in raster

@W1zzard​

GeForce 30 numbers seem to be wrong, too. I just retested 3080 1080p and got 106 FPS

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Benchmark Test & Performance Analysis Review

The Phantom Liberty expansion brings big improvements to Cyberpunk 2077 and adds an exciting new story line. The game also gets support for DLSS 3.5 and Path Tracing. In our performance review, we're taking a closer look at image quality, VRAM usage, and performance on a wide selection of modern...

The charts have been updated. Some cards missing, will add those tomorrow

Sorry about that. Any way the raster performance didn't change that much in Cyberpunk Phantom Liberity (though the game became more VRAM heavy, so I am going to focus on 1440p to alleviate that bottleneck).

Though I think RT performance became a little bit more heavy, a 3080 beats 7900XTX in Ultra Ray Tracing.

Yep. That’s why I compared with the 2080ti and the fact it’s sad/funny.

With Path Tracing, yeah a 2080Ti has the upper hand.

 

[Silent_Buddha]

So, non-RT Ultra only needs a 7800 XT to match the 3080. Still better optimized for NV than AMD, but better than needing a 7900 XTX to match a 3080. I wonder if that was a typo by whoever made the recommended specs graphic?

40 series really shines in path tracing.

40 series has SER enabled right?

I would assume so.

 

[gamervivek]

I wonder how much performance they can improve. I tried the PT update on 6800XT and it performed like Portal RTX with low power usage and framerate in single digits. So AMD have had time since Portal RTX to update the drivers and maybe 7xxx series does better with its higher number of registers.

And as I had noticed earlier when PT dropped, the intel cards are another reference point now.

CYBERPUNK 2077 [PC Specific Patches and Settings]

Evaluating SER in Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing. With SER, runtime for DispatchRays calls decreased by 24%, so SER is a large overall win for performance. NVIDIA’s efforts should be applauded here, as SER is able to increase the number of active lanes in a wavefront by 46%...

From the TPU Phantom Liberty benchmarks, the Arc A770 goes from being 85% of 4060's performance to just 30% of it at 1080p moving from RT Ultra to PT. Compared to 2080Ti, it's 77% to 33%.

 

[RobertR1]

Nice performance bump from RT reconstruction:

Before patch and reconstruction:

After:

In the benchmark, right away inside you can see the impact of RT Reconstruction with how the colors in the lights spread out more naturally.

The next obvious point is the reflections in the water as you go through the back alley. It's night n day there.

 

[Malo]

Here's a comparison specific to Ray Reconstruction.

 

[pjbliverpool]

The performance uplift alone (which is definitely noticeable) is worth it. But the fact that the game looks so much better to go along with it is crazy. Everything just looks so much cleaner and stable while the lighting looks more vibrant and dynamic. I'm REALLY impressed.

One problem I did notice is that NPC's leave weird colour trails near very dynamic lights which is extremely noticable. But it's still a small price to pay for what you're getting in return.
