CYBERPUNK 2077 [PC Specific Patches and Settings]

[Jupiter]

These Indoors places are just delightful with Pathtracing. I have never seen so much color and vibrance in any other game:

Imgsli

And this here is one of the worst cases for rasterizing: https://imgsli.com/MTY5NDc4

There are places that realistically become darker. However, many darker indoor areas also become a bit brighter compared to before.
So far I have not found a place that I liked better before path tracing.

Does Cyberpunk use a lot of alpha tested geometry? Leaves of the palm trees maybe?

Yeah, lots of foliage in general, trees, palms, stretches of lands covered in grass and pushes. However, Portal RTX had none of that, despite this, OMM helped path tracing performance in another cricuial way.

Opacity micro maps should help in cases like this one where there is a lot of particles on the scene and the particles have a lot of empty space on them.

The problem with empty space is that you have a single large billboard that contains that empty space, but it also contains non-empty areas, so whenever the ray tracing hardware in the GPU hits this billboard it doesn't know whether this hit is useful or not, so it will return the hit to the shader. and the shader must load the texture to determine if this hit is actually useful. If it's just empty space, the hit will be returned back to the ray tracing hardware to continue looking for useful surfaces, which is obviously suboptimal.

So, we can reprocess the opacity texture of the particles and build a so-called Opacity Micro Map here, which is kind of similar to a BLAS, and then we can bind that Opacity Micro Map to the geometry and let the ray tracing hardware decide if the hit is useful or not before returning it to the shader.

As you can see in the bottom picture, Opacity Micro Maps can reduce the number of shader interactions with the rays quite significantly because there is a lot of empty space in these particles, and that makes the G-Buffer pass almost 40% faster in this case.

NVIDIA Shows Ada Lovelace's Opacity Micro Maps Feature and How It Can Boost Ray Tracing Performance

At GTC 2023, NVIDIA engineers showcased the potential of the Opacity Micro Maps feature available in Ada Lovelace's GeForce RTX 40 GPUs.

Its really cool to have a Pathtracing and Rasterzing lighting modell for comparisions: https://imgsli.com/MTY5NTI3/0/1
This scene looks so much better with Pathtracing.

And kodus to CD Project for updating DLSS. DLSS quality and FG allows even a 4070 to use Raytracing with ~100 FPS in 1440p.

I wouldn't expect it too, it's an Nvidia technology and AMD GPU's require different RT tuning to Nvidia GPU's.

What's an Nvidia technology?

What's an Nvidia technology?

RTXDI and Restir GI run on any DXR card but are probably optimized for Nvidia’s stuff as they came from Nvidia research. SER is icing on the cake.

Ah yeah, just wasn't sure which technologies he was referring to.

 

[techuse]

Don't they require Nvidia themselves implementing the code into your engine if you aren't using UE? I also wonder about what the developers are allowed to do with the code. Gameworks for example were often black boxes that developers were not allowed to modify.

From the article above:

Game developers interested in the implementation of this feature can check out the Opacity Micro Maps SDK available on GitHub

From the article above:

I meant RTXDI and Restir.

I meant RTXDI and Restir.

all that is available on github

I have to test that. 1 bounce and shorter wave lenght.

that video is quite confusing. the narrator often times talk about things that were NOT being visually presented in the video. Nearing the end, it became even more egregious where they openly says that the things he will speak from now on, is not what you are seeing.

smeone have side by side IMGSLI comparison instead?

 

[Jupiter]

I only saw the video in the morning before work and shared it here with it's modification.

Here is a comparison with different settings. From 1 bounce to 8 bounces.

2 bounces are a good compromise. I would only recommend 1 bounce for older graphics cards.
If you have an RTX 6090 at some point you can easily improve the accuracy and go up to 4 rays and 4 bounces.

I need to try this out on my 3090.

Overdrive is highly impressive. While it makes a huge difference at night, at times I almost felt as if I was outside on a sunny day. The magic would've been even more impressive if my TV could do higher brightness.

But TLOU has ruined me with its amazing texture quality and CP77's now look like an older generation game's. Overdrive can make them look very realistic but I miss the details.

Have you tried the HD Reworked mod?

 

[gamervivek]

Have you tried the HD Reworked mod?

No, I already have older texture mods and judging by the posts under the HD Reworked thread, it's not better.

You can run frame generation with FSR or XeSS if you want btw.

They say they will optimize it more to make it run faster.

Chuds : lol you mean dumb down the technology for the plebs
