Do I need to subscribe? Isn't there an way to just purchase one time then it's all good?

[@jorge69696]

Prefer the original. This looks sorta washed out? Like they lowered the saturation and gamma.

[@Arshyfishy]

Agreed 👍

[@BenCH417]

Same here,the original has much more character.

[@lucianf7157]

Original Is way Better

[@erisium6988]

its not its just overexposed, too high gamma

[@david-sz4be]

Vanilla = path tracing | dreampunk = rasterization

[@nemesisrtx]

I love that you're one of the few people that actually benchmarks mods and not just the base game, nice video as usual!

[@MxBenchmarkPC]

Happy to help!

[@Vladx35]

Nova LUT Pure 2.0 looks better imo, and doesn’t bring the performance hit (afaik).

[@lucianf7157]

Yes, and it's not washed out like dreampunk

[@erisium6988]

there isnt lut that takes ur performance lol u dumb slave

[@TheJusticeLeague]

Dreampunk doesn’t have a performance hit

[@Vladx35]

@ FPS difference in the side by sides seems to suggest otherwise.

[@akdragonpc473]

Looks blown out, washed out in the day, crushed blacks in the night and oversharpened; all behind a paywall, lmao. Never found any LUTs/EVN's that look good on an OLED in HDR. For me I use the Vanilla Plus Visual Enhancement mod (no green tint) + the White balance reshade but tweaked (disabled luma sharpen and use CAS instead and tuned to a more blueish/natural tone), imo looks better than anything else i've tried.

[@Ragssssss]

Original has that life in it, which looks fake and washed out with "dreampunk" turned on. Also, original has better reflections & accurate shadows imo.

[@lucianf7157]

I agree..dreampunk totally destroy shadows

[@DimkaBlondi]

I enjoyed using Dreampunk 1.0 for graphic wanking, there was that wow effect after installation, ride a car (especially high-quality modified cars), walk around the city, rotate the camera and once again go nuts over how cool the photo-realistic graphics are (even though such an effect is only in cloudy weather, a softbox instead of the sky) and how masterfully Cyberpunk 2077 is made (the developers are ambitious gods, although they had serious technical problems from the very beginning). But after trying Dreampunk 2.0 after a long break from CP2077 for 4-5 months, there is nothing even close to the first version, the picture on SDR is absolutely uninteresting and is not photo-realistic, eye adaptation is generally a pain, everything is overexposed terribly. To see beautiful colors, you have to find the right position with the mouse by lifting the camera. I'm not even talking about clear sunny weather, it's terrible, unfortunately ...

[@rafograph]

Great comparison: real stuff, no touched up demos

[@Fergus-H-MacLeod]

I disagree that this looks washed out. It's really bright, but realistically so. When I think of washed out, I think of everything being coated with a gray foggy appearance but this doesn't really seem to have that. That being said, I can still see why some people prefer it looking like Gotham City:)

[@lucianf7157]

After 8:00 my eyes...it's overexposed

[@erisium6988]

white asphalt is very realistic!

[@david-sz4be]

@@erisium6988 clipping highlights are not realistic

[@gerfald-zr2qg]

@@erisium6988 8:56 this is realistic? are you serious

[@sexybaaack]

In my opinion nova lut looks better and realistic, not this such a eye blow toxic colors in dreampunk

[@gytispranskunas4984]

Not gonna lie in a lot of cases original is far superior

[@outofspace424]

Literally just looks brighter

[@romaticmary]

that reminds me Toddyhancer with highlight crush and sharpening, better call it Dreamhancer🤣

[@SwurvGaming]

i couldnt believe it, when he released the "mod", I looked at what he did in the reshade and he just turned up the sharpening effect. LMAO. it explained why he kept showing the same map in battlefront.

[@romaticmary]

@@SwurvGaming they come from Sweden... probably they are the same person

[@Ovenru]

Thanks for the mod review, I realized that Nova LUT is better and free

[@MxBenchmarkPC]

Happy to help.

[@KiD.Gaming-t7l]

these reshades are in par with nova lut.. nice btw bro:)

[@arkgaharandan5881]

every freaking race tracing video is grey, too clean, no shadows and everything is oily. It even makes panam white.

[@twinstars8812]

So for dreampunk, are you able to tweak the gamma and saturation etc? I like how reflective things are, but it's way too bright and washed out for me.

[@ruslanmulyk8601]

So we can use redux.

[@HoreanAir]

dude we want to see ACTUAL gameplay like how it looks walking and fighting

[@noxofeich]

Опа и всю магию "реализьма" как рукой сняло. Просто пересвеченная картинка

[@travislindgren7158]

Why is the FPS so low? 60fps? Is this a Sony PS5 Pro console game? Can't be a RTX 4080 Super 16GB. Cyberpunk 2077 v2.2 RTX ON is getting 144fps on my setup. MSI RTX 4080 Super 16G SUPRIM X on MSI MEG Optix MEG381CQR Plus 3840x1600 144Hz G-Sync Ultimate. Nvidia GeForce 561.09 c/w DLSS 3.7.20 Cheers 🥂 🍻 🍸 🍹

[@DimakSerpg]

trash preset

[@remxmbr]

Just get an LUT mod off Nexus. Looks the same or better, it's free and no performance cost. You can also just make your own reshade as well for even better results. This shit is such a scam lol. 4k and Path Tracing w/o DLSS/Upscaling is how the creator gets results like he does in his videos, nothing else.

[@TheLastLineLive]

Brightness filter to dip the framerate 😂

[@lucianodematos1094]

Thank you for this! I was considering paying for the mod based on what was showcased on the creator's channel. But seeing it in a real situation, it’s not as impressive and sure not worth 40$ BRL.

[@MxBenchmarkPC]

Happy to help.

[@Aaron_LH]

So… they removed the warming filter?

[@madhurbajaj652]

original is better

[@rencrysis4694]

After the game is upgraded to 2.13, this MOD will have BUG

[@DavesTech999]

running a 3080 ti, i7 11700KF yet im getting more FPS and on higher settings

[@lifeofnoah1578]

I get these annoying blurry spots on my screen any way to disable this?

[@avantaejackson3522]

When you find out let me know. I've been messing with the settings but no luck yet.

[@rsocks]

left hud on? noob mistake, these realistic photo mods are scams, they all only look good in very very slow, and specific situations.

[@chucknorrisffs]

Realistic color grading has it's use cases. Cyberpunk isn't one of them..

[@markpaterson2053]

It just looks different, not better---I don't get it.

[@lilSmurf69]

looks like in avg it takes away 8/7 frames is it worth it🤔

[@BeyondtheBox1]

soooo the mod makes performance worse? yeahhh hard passs

[@darek85]

I have Dream punk 1.0 It's pretty cool. I think I will subscribe for get this one too.

[@Никита-й7р6п]

why 70fps looks like 40?

[@oni179]

I dont get the hate? the creator was trying to make it look more stylized while maintaining a realistic look, imo it looks good

[@Unbornchikkenable]

Prefer GITS Legacy

[@jetsp]

overclocked gpu?

[@MxBenchmarkPC]

The GPU was slightly overclocked in this video.

[@Unknown_Revolver]

Looks too bleached out, takes away all the colour and aesthetic of the original game

[@NextGenGamerss]

Paid mods... did I subbed to Bethesda channel

[@nonstoplegend3775]

where is mod link ?

[@scntillatedseed]

Yeah… this totally ruins the vibe of the game

[@AnonymousMerchant]

Wow, that looks like shit!

[@rinzlerv2320]

Original better

[@CarthmanBro]

good i didnt buy it

[@mikeryan1043]

Not gonna lie, this looks terrible ^^

[@davideghirelli4453]

looks just a tonemapper, auto exposure and white balance and glow/vignette removal
