[@ImAltair1]

The effort you put into these videos is very appreciated! These videos are great. Keep up the amazing work

[@Luc-kp2vl]

Hello iam à noob in PC and i would know cyberpunk on xbox séries X in a gréât télévision or on PC ( my PC RTX 3080 processor ryzen 9 5900x. Thank’s

[@DawnApon]

The fact you can give examples between different hardware-bound scenarios is extremely useful for someone like me. And also gives me confidence in your testing methodology that you can say and show that.

[@biofringe4983]

Really appreciate the hard work and the long hours that this took. Thank you so much. BTW, really love how you separated everything into groups. Works well that way and all Benchmark videos from everyone should be like that going forward. You have revolutionized the genre.

[@ThiagoJaqueta]

Just a small heads-up, settings that increase the resolution of shadows or textures, might not seem to have an impact on performance at first, but these settings will increase the amount of VRAM used, so if you're running low on VRAM (On a GPU with 4GB or 6GB for instance), you'll get more stutters while playing if you're capping the VRAM usage. RT Shadows will also add Variable Penumbra to directional shadows. This means that the shadow of an object that is far away from the point where the shadow is being casted into will look soft, while objects that are near the point where the shadow is being casted will look sharp. This makes a big difference in most areas in the game, specially around skyscrapers. There's a similar rasterization technique for that called PCSS (Percentage-Closer Soft Shadows) which doesn't requires Ray-tracing, but sadly CDPR never implemented this.

[@juliansjeandawsonarchive]

Yeah, and I believe AMD has PCHS but I’m not sure if that’s better / worse. The last game I remember seeing both in was GTA V. Great port IMO, and I think holds up for being a port compared to a native PC/Console development.

[@HallyVee]

Very helpful, although I've usually found I've been able to turn textures up as high as I want in basically any game with only 6 GB of vram. I wonder if maybe they just load fast enough that I don't notice at 60 fps.

[@shotnothing3419]

​@@juliansjeandawsonarchivePCHS is available on both AMD and Nvidia, its game specific

[@DawcioX16]

Love the video!

[@bananaboy482]

Fantastic video. Not too dumbed down, not too complicated. Fast and to the point. Great analysis. Love it

[@viktoremil5428]

In this game, I updated DLSS from 2.4.3 to 2.5.1, use the NVIDIA Image Scaling sharpness filter and downloaded a texture mod from Hulk Hogan, now thanks to your settings I have raised the DLSS (4K) level from performance to balance and the picture has become even cleaner, without significant loss of quality! Thank you for what you are doing!

[@Xilent1]

What GPU are you using to play this in 4k? I waited to play this game cause I want to play it in 4k RT. Which is one reason why I waited to play this game, plus bug fixes from launch.

[@viktoremil5428]

@@Xilent1 I have a laptop based on the 3080, it is similar in performance to the dextopic 3070, but with 16GB of video memory. There can be no question of any RT. All I can hope for is a smooth 60 FPS with these optimized settings + DLSS on balance, without RT. I have seen tests where even 4090 on ULTRA+RT PSYCHO without using DLSS gives ~45 FPS. I recommend waiting for Overdrive Mode for Cyberpunk 2077, buy 4090 (if the budget allows), use these optimized settings + DLSS.

[@fioralangust]

​@@Xilent1 For RT 4K you can only play with a nvidia card. And you gonna need a lot of VRAM (at least 16 GB imo). There is only the 4080 or 4090 to consider as of today (3090 and 3090 ti need to lower settings and RT too much). You gonna have to play with DLSS even with a 4090, DLSS + Frame Generation with a 4080, buy a 144hz 4K Monitor and optimize a bit.

[@superslavbross9935]

Can anyone playing in 1440p on DLSS quality tell if going to 2.5.1 makes any difference ? OR is it gonna get better performance ? Thank you in advance

[@redclaw72666]

​@@superslavbross9935 plays fine on my end using 3440x1440p have a video of it on my channel with dlss 2.5.1

[@stylie473joker5]

It would be a great idea to set up a patreon so that people donate for you to buy more games and test them

[@luizmchd4]

"Shut up and take my money!"

[@takemysauce]

Agree. I'd pay for him to test more games. We need more guides like these

[@MarkFox-nt7ls]

Can you not just buy the games yourself and test them yourself 😂

[@takemysauce]

@Mark Fox because these videos help you get a better understanding of what each setting does, differences in graphics, and how it impacts performance, all in a video format. And it's quicker to watch a 10 minute video than testing every single setting yourself. Not everyone has the time for that. I'll happily pay him a little bit of money to test more games and at the same time support the creator for what he does. This isn't easy work

[@toad7395]

​@@MarkFox-nt7ls Its a win win no? We support a youtuber he like and he posts more videos

[@MVITCU]

Hands down one of the best comparison and optimization videos on Cyberpunk - well done sir. Much appreciated

[@VadymPecherskyi]

Yes, man! Please continue to do such videos! I recently bought 3060ti and your guides (for Hogwarts for example) helped me to play games at full potential of my gpu. You got my thanks, subscription and like!)

[@itayraviv2422]

Thank you so much!! You put me from sub 60s into averaging 80-90, with no drop in quality.

[@unbreakableironman]

Awesome! This is what the developers should disclose to the players. Thank you. Just one thing, you say sometimes 4% drop in frames when it should be 4 frames dropped. Like at 5:40, it's 4 frames difference, so the math is 4/64, which is 6.25% drop frame percentage.

[@benchmarking4386]

Yes that was a mistake it's 6% not 4% , Thanks for pointing that out.

[@reixie]

@@benchmarking4386 but thank you so much for the video and the work u put into this! i subbed for more

[@collinsrv]

This guide is pure gold! Once again you've outdone yourself

[@mfenix88]

Highly underrated mate. Hope the algorithm blesses you soon. Appreciate the hard work. It was a great video

[@HugoM.M.]

You rock. Amazing work that helps the PC Gamer community a lot.

[@MazzSpaticus]

This is a gem of a channel.

[@ExistentialSadness]

I just upgraded from GTX 1070 to RTX 3060 Ti and playing with Ryzen 5600, damn man, your settings made my gameplay fluid and smooth as hell, thanks!

[@ll42557]

literally yesterday I was checking if you made a video about optimizing cyberpunk xD after your atomic heart optimization video only you could save me on this issue, thanks!

[@raphaelouellet7325]

Reallly high quality content, seriously goodjob

[@WilsonBradleyTheOfficial]

This was a perfect way of explaining settings (considering there are so many different variables of hardware). When people know which are the big performance hitters, people can adjust accordingly. Please keep it up. (Subscribed)

[@carpelunam]

my man put the optimized settings all a the end in one picture.. Nice! 🤠 Subscribed!

[@welshman2011]

Wow thanks dude! you have not only helped me gain up to an extra 60 FPS on my 4080 in 4k, but you also helped me to improve the 1% lows by a good 40 FPS :) Keep up the good work my friend.

a note i want to add is that setting color precision to high causes flashes of light to appear while ray traced lighting is enabled

[@cyroin4146]

Thank you so much, by far the best and detailed Video about that topic! I want you for all my games and the rest of my life.

[@MrVvulf]

5:32 One thing you might point out if you do other videos on settings with field of view. Wider field of view does allow you to see more of what's going on to the left and right...BUT there is a cost. The higher you set your field of view, the further away objects directly in front of you appear. Personally, I like 80-85% is where I like it best. 100% is far too warped. LOVE your guide, and it's been a great tool for me to optimize the settings to my hardware.

[@Xinamon98]

Great video, I was on lowest settings and this increased the quality with only a small performance hit. Thank you!

[@jameshardy6277]

Excellent video mate. I'll use these settings for the DLC later this year.

[@danielma1359]

Amazing optimization. What a truly KING channel! Thanks for our service to us :)

[@662mann8]

this video is amazing, subed becuase of the quality

[@matthewcpaul]

Thank you for the video! Following this allowed me to get stable 50-60 fps without much drop while keeping crowd density high.

[@MMOLegend]

our 3060Ti handled CP like a champ

[@THEYEAR2143]

The exact break down I hoped to find ! Thank you

[@Rony_Weasley_]

Pure gold, I love these videos.

[@JustBeloga]

I just purchased cbp today and this helped so much. Thank you

[@jamesbowman5062]

Thank you my friend, nice to see a modern take since the updates.

[@UNMERILLY]

You already said it but it's very important, this game can go from GPU to CPU bound territory really quick depending of where you're located on the map. With my 5600x and 3080 I see only 10 fps of difference with all rtx stuff cranked up VS off when I'm in cpu bound place like outside V appartement, if I do the same test in less crowded street the fps difference go up to like 40 fps. I suggest everyone to really take this into account while tuning your settings, don't tune them in busy place, find a spot where you get GPU bound and only then go to a crowded place to fine tune

[@NuclearCha0s]

This video is fantastic. Seen lots of these, none so well thought out.

[@ElectroMoe]

Really appreciate these videos. Cyberpunk is a beast. I love it.

[@xDebugger_Gameplay]

[@conyo985]

Heyo! An updated optimization guide. This is awesome!

[@Neroskully]

Dude, thanks. I had been looking for a way to optimize this game. At first it was buggy. But now it's super smooth. These settings work great, especially with dlss.

[@TheAncientVessel]

love these guides enjoy sharing these with my friends when they are having issues on random games! thanks for all you do brother

[@DAVICII]

Thanks a lot, I was searching for videos like this. You are the best. You helped me with using my 8GB vram 3070Ti for the time I have to wait till I can buy a new GPU. Now I can enjoy my games with more fps without losing to much visual quality.

[@iJoltedJosh]

You never disappoint man!

[@_PsychoFish_]

Looked for this, because the Digital Foundry video is a bit outdated. You did an amazing job! The only thing that would make it even better is, if you put your optimized settings into the video description 😁

[@zekkecaina3684]

Here is someone who has an rx 6600 and a ryzen 7 5700g, with this configuration I was able to achieve stability at 70 or 85 maximum fps, before in areas with a lot of load it dropped to 55 fps, it is a change and a quite satisfactory configuration, thank you very much

Benchmarking, you give digitalfoundry a good competition with such an across the board great video! Keep doing what you're doing! 💪

[@WilsonBradleyTheOfficial]

Thanks, one of the best tuts for settings. One recommendation, on the comparison screens, could you add the name of the setting? For example for the Hard hitters, a person could look at the different settings and what they are getting , but forgot which setting it was. Hope this makes sense. Basically the name of the setting on same screen shot

[@pedjasrbija]
