Cyberpunk 2077 | Overdrive Path Tracing Comparison | RT OFF - Psycho - Overdrive

[@someonesgoat]

The trees and greenery looks phenomenal in comparison. I thought they already looked quite realistic before but this is next level.

Over drive transforms some scenes completely. The close ups you showed were great because you kept showing us flashbacks of RT off, psycho and OD and it was night and day difference in some shots. Specifically the Global illumination shots. Best video out so far comparing RT off, ON and OD.

[@gracecalis5421]

You can really appreciate the difference in spaces that have a roof but aren't enclosed spaces, like under an overpass or highway. The other modes are unnaturally washed out and lit but Overdrive makes the spots meant to be dark actually dark. It's a world of difference. I don't know if it's worth such a hit to your performance but there's no denying that it looks WAY better.

[@tkzii6207]

I feel like it's phenomenal when comparing still sequences, but as soon as the player starts moving it's not as noticable and not really worth the perf hit... That would make an killer photomode feature for now tho

[@MIchaelSybi]

@@tkzii6207 For me it made a big difference, as it lacked contact intricate shadows, especially for characters. But overall, I don't like the game, I just strolled here and there, somehow feels dead

Doesn't look "better" enough to justify the perf hit though. Standard lightining => RT is a much bigger difference

[@nononononame8904]

7:24 the biggest noticeable difference. Path Tracing can illuminate the room with indirect light. A true game changing in industry

[@hotteariver]

I would say this is the only noticeable improvement. The other scenes have differences too, but I wonldn't say these are improvement, just like watching at differece time only, may be 1pm vs 6pm

I talked with my cousin about path tracing before Nvidia started testing Cyberpunk and whatnot with it while playing Spider-Man Remastered on the PS5, and I talked to him about how in real life, reflections can reflect other reflections, and I wonder, maybe not initially, but at some point path tracing will develop some way to create layered reflections

[@ZalvaTionZ]

Path tracing can, it's just limited for performance reason to 2 light bounces.

[@gabelukasko6589]

@ZalvaTionZ That's actually pretty cool man. I never knew that. I've seen blender animations that have double layered reflections where it's like a dude on a bike and he's reflected onto its mirror and his visor in that reflection is reflecting the bike again, but never knew they did that in game

[@klaik30]

Best comparison out on youtube right now. Not enough people who actually review and test this tech focus on the right things. Psycho RT is an approximation, and a really good one at that. Path tracing is an even better model that captures everything that can be captured by Psycho RT but does it without as many tricks, only by following the rules that govern natural light. Most scenes will look great in both but Override will be as good or way better in specific scenes. Unfortunately, global illumination and indirect lighting are still a problem which is why the Path tracing model has to accumulate light in closed environments with little light influence, which is why we see lighting problems at 9:15. Psycho RT doesn't even do the same type of indirect lighting in those cases and therefore "looks better" in comparison but this is only because we are in the early stages of implementation. Its okay to criticize new technologies and have a preference but everytime this happens one sides seems to think that the new tech somehow is just worse by nature and shouldn't be used, when really the problem relies in having to wait for improvements of the tech. The tech itself is absolutely the right step and gives a visual upgrade today already but might not be preferred right now due to low performance and other artifacts.

[@someghosts]

It looks more realistic, but sometimes it looks worse. Would love to see a version of this where the artists take another lap on the environments to make them look better with ray tracing in mind

El Path tracing, era lo que Nvidia en verdad quería traer a los videojuegos, pero debido a las limitaciones se tubo que implementar el Ray tracing, ahora que el Hardware es lo suficientemente potente por fin tenemos un Trazado de rayos hiper realista, como el Path tracing todavia está en prueba, (todavia no se ah lanzado al publico) tiene esos desperfectos que ojala arreglen antes de lanzarlo al publico, muy buena tecnología, ya casi no le queda nada al cine de la animación.

I was using it and I didn't notice a difference I thought the image was the same or it lost detail but in fact it was some things that got darker because of the better shadow and it gave more texture to the objects but before this video I didn't notice any difference because my eyes got used to RT Overdrive and I thought it was just like RT Psycho.

A good example of this is the Last of us on PC I dont even think that has any raytracing at all.

[@crestofhonor2349]

TLOU has the advantage of being a linear game where every scene is artist directed thanks to static times of day. Most of the lighting is baked. Cyberpunk is a fully dynamic, open world with a dynamic time of day. It would be basically impossible for them to achieve graphics like that due to the lighting all needing to be dynamic. Personally I think this looks much better than TLOU Remake lighting wise. Plus baked lighting uses RT to generate the lighting maps to specify how the scene should look

Didn't know the word for it was "noise" but the glittering effect that shows up in Path Tracing on fences, metal surfaces, and even some clothing, is a deal breaker to me -- very distracting. In the scene at 5:00 where the Path Tracing makes the plants look great, it ruins the overall scene by the glittering windows in the upper left. And there's an unwanted side effect as a result of the improved illumination -- errors in the game world become even more distracting and noticeable because everything else is more realistic looking. Models that clip walls or pixellated decal textures (even at highest LOD), break the sense of immersion quickly and noticeably. If they had made Cyberpunk 2077 in the cell-shaded style of the Borderlands games, I think we wouldn't notice those errors as much.

[@danielgomez7236]

That "glittering" is probably due to DLSS, you can bet DLSS would introduce many artifacts, hope they can fix that

[@Kondiqq]

What you called "glittering windows" is a sloped fence around the building. It has issues with specific fences - the ones which are very dense with small holes in it. The way overdrive works is like real path tracing - you can't use infinite amount of rays to render it in real time, so number of rays is limited and they use Nvidia denoiser so you can't see the grain/noise. However, like we see, it doesn't work good with fences. The easiest way to fix it would be to replace all the fences with another model. There's not that many of them. When I tested Overdrive, I only noticed one such fence during like 2-3 hours of playing, but it was crazy distracting.

Thank you for the detailed comparison and comparison of modes in a visual form. It helped a lot. RT Psycho looks good enough on its own, and Overdrive is for even more enthusiasts. And of course, the developers still have a lot of work ahead to eliminate all kinds of artifacts (especially in motion). And I hope they will make a mod to completely replace all advertising. It is not only too monotonous, but also exaggerated in the direction of black humor. Which undermines realistic forecasts for the model of the future presented in the game.

However in future games this might be amazing

[@TheEPICskwock]

Well yes some areas look a lot darker now because they are not in direct sunlight and there isn't many artificial lights around. For example the scene at 13:37 is a lot darker with path tracing, but it would look like that in real life also considering the sun is facing the opposite direction and that section has a large roof blocking light as well as many large buildings casting shadows on the area too. A shaded section in real life with that big a roof, (and on the right time of day, basically any time other then 11 AM to 1 PM), would be quite dark even on a bright sunny day.

Lo unico que no me gusta es el aumento de particulas brillantes en las zonas con poca luz directa con el pathtracing, pero desde luego es un gran avance... en un par de generaciones de graficas espero que se mejore, tanto el numero de rayos, como la velocidad de casteo y la reducción de ruido.

Tengo una 4080 y en 4k con dlss en rendimiento le parte la madre con bajones a veces a los 59, eso si en 1440 DLSS en calidad tengo un promedio de 90 y lo mas bajo es a los 75

[@Aaronsitooo]

yo con la 4090 en 2K DLSS en calidad y generación de frames me va a 130-140fps se ve de película.

[@marcomaldonado9274]

@@Aaronsitooo Si, probé más la resolución de 1440 y me llega a los 100-110 y no baja de los 90, lo del 4K es una locura lo que quita en ese modo yo creo por todo lo extra que se tiene que renderizar en esa resolución, yo creo que seguiré con el 1440p esos 100fps están ricos aunque pierda un poco de nitidez se sigue viendo que se te cae la boca al piso

Im waiting for 50series 😊

[@carlomdlf]

im sure these environments were designed for raster lighting so some of the path traced examples do look a bit worse

[@sean2val]

wow path tracing is the future

[@offlinegamer6756]

but it come at a cost , it tanks the performances by 50 to 60% on the GPU ..........but even so , i can't go back to "Normal" RT , it's the futur right now !

[@James.Gatsby]

man Path tracing is close to realistic lighting

[@crestofhonor2349]

Path tracing is a simulation of how light works in real life. It's how basically all movies do CG whether it's animated or a very VFX heavy movie

[@sibiris8474]

All I want is to play cyberpunk with pathtracing. But I don't have Nasa budget!

[@lorenzosanchez2006]

Pregunta! a que resolucion esta moviendo el juego? el dlss esta en modo calidad?

[@Evil_Xuevil]

they said that each light bulb and light source gives an effect, as a result, the camera with a red stripe (light source) weighs, but does not throw light on the wall, how is it?

[@Phil-Philips_0505]

Now here comes to the question, which "MOD" would you prefer to turn "ON" most? RTX "ON or GTA "ON"? If you have only one choice to turn it "ON" or "OFF" between the graphics details of "RTX" and the city's daily life details of "GTA", which one you gonna be choose if the latter's various kinds of vivid daily life details were being applied to the content of Cyberpunk2077, huh?

[@crestofhonor2349]

Why are you comparing them like this. The team that works on lighting is not the same who does more gameplay focused stuff

[@9zetsu]

How much of a difference correct lighting can make. Little boxes and wires on the floor suddenly look like they belong there
