Let's explore the immensely detailed world of Cyberpunk 2077 where every square meter of Night City is packed with detail. In this video we start under Bladerunneresque rainfall in Japantown and have a chat with Delamain as we ride through Night City's drenched streets to the massive Landfill outside the city where we make a surprising discovery.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a wonderfully optimized game that gives you many options to play it in, depending on how good your PC is. RT overdrive for the best rigs, RT Ultra for good rigs, or RT off for older systems and most AMD GPUs, but visually the difference between these 3 modes of play is barely noticable unless you know where to look and start comparing scenes. What matters more is at what resolution you play the game at.
I play on a 16/10 monitor, so please don't mind the black bars on the side as my screen is a bit taller than widescreen format.
I'm pushing my (now midrange) system to its limits. I want to squeeze every drop of performance out of my 3070 while playing in settings higher than what is intended for this GPU, which would be, for Ray Tracing Ultra, either 1080p dlss quality or 1440p (2k) dlss balanced. On 16/10 monitors, this would be 1200p and 1600p, respectively. Instead, I play at 1800p dlss performance, which is 16/9's 1620p (3k) and with Digital Foundry's optimized settings, I can still maintain an fps above 50 with RT ultra (lighting, shadows, reflections).
