Cyberpunk 2077 Visual Tech Tour - The Maxed Out Next-Gen PC Experience

Never has so much been demanded from one game. Cyberpunk 2077 can push the most high-end of PC hardware and delivers a true next generation experience - and as our upcoming console videos shall reveal, the last-gen PS4 and Xbox One machines struggle to manage, even with a brutally pared back experience. But what has CD Projekt RED achieved at the absolute high-end? Armed with a high-end PC running with an RTX 3090, John Linneman shows you Cyberpunk 2077 at its absolute best: ray tracing, max settings, DLSS, the works.

Anyhow... the day before the Cyberpunk Release I got a RTX 3080... and all the people around me have been talking about Cyberpunk. Had no real idea what to expect but said to myself.. let's just try it out. And I'm amazed how awesome it looks (everything maxed out, raytracing psycho, DLSS quality)... I'm looking at it as amazed like a caveman would be looking at matches. I can wander around for hours and just enjoy this city. Also haven't had many bugs so far... Truely amazing.

The amount of bugs and crashes I've run into is not only "not bad", but is honestly less than the vast majority of AAA games I've played in the last 5 years. Sure, there's pop-in, but that exists in essentially every game these days (especially open world ones). But as far as crazy shit like T-posing NPCs and such, I've seen maybe 4 or 5 things in 30 hours of play. Nothing worth even mentioning, and certainly no broken quests or anything. That said, I don't think you're a "fanboy" if you can't "see beyond bugs". We were told in 2018 that the game was content complete and just being "polished". This product was marketed and sold as being finished-- so if you spend money on it, you shouldn't have to "see beyond" it not being finished.

I"m a bit confused as to why it's so rare to see characters casting any sort of shadow.

[@Ayoul]

I feel like it must have something to do with all the possible lighting sources present all around characters at all times. Having all of these sources cast shadow would be crazy taxing for any system (remember the torches in Valhalla?). Might as well save on performance than have a lot of characters cast the wrong shadow from source A, but not B.

[@callmeivan2064]

Because a good number of times, especially in a first person view single player games, the game doesn't render a full player model but only the arms as that's usually the only thing the player will see. It saves time on resources as... Well there's just less things to render that the player will never see.

[@TheAnoniemo]

At 18:26 you can see the car LOD changing just after the scene transition, so I don't think that was precalculated.

[@Manamonke]

Hopefully that issue will get fixed as it seems prevalent

[@SianaGearz]

I don't know. I thought they simply made a video without V in it plus a video-encoded HDR probe for the position where V would be, then they just have to render V into the already rendered scene. This is an adequate and moderately low-effort way of doing this. Why spend more effort than strictly necessary on a 90-second sequence, just as long as you can achieve the results that are creatively desired? The POV is fixed, you can't even turn your head at all, which if it was a true realtime sequence, makes sense that you would be able to. Doing it prerendered and baking in a LOD transition into the video would have been a little absurd, or maybe just sloppy. There's absolutely no doubt that even if it's pre-rendered, it would for sure have been captured in-engine, and would retain whatever engine deficiencies are there. When you look at every single video out there, and they all have the same LOD transition at the same exact time, how comes? I also had the impression that the sequence looked better than my video settings would allow. But what's even more absurd is how it would be managing to stream the world data for this sequence. Maybe it's just a series of smaller room-sized environments that are capped right around the FOV and have an blocked-off far plane, and they're all inside one interior-style map. That's how it would have to be done previously several generations ago. Maybe it's a splice of both video sections and realtime sections, with outdoor areas all being purely video, and some of the indoor ones are realtime. I think this is something that can be investigated. Maybe take some RenderDoc or Nsight probes during the scene. Maybe dial down the settings to absurdely low and see how the scene degrades, or doesn't. Maybe i'll get around to doing that someday.

[@AbirZenith]

Can you imagine that there are people saying this game looks like a last gen game thats not even impressive?

[@WADAFOK]

Yeah it does look like a last gen game on the base console.

[@polishrocker93]

I would agree with them. It’s not next gen and yet requires resources of next gen.

[@AbirZenith]

@@polishrocker93 Digital Foundry and a lot of other analysts put their #1 in terms of visuals. Its as NEXT GEN AS it gets on this scale. Next gen is a fancy word which simply means newer tech, which this game uses more than any other game out there now at a scale much larger than any other game. I doubt you even watched the full video. Also what do you mean resources of next gen, a 2080ti can play this game just fine on 1080p nearly maxxed out, thats year old hardware and same for current 3xxx CARDS, which are current gen hardware.

[@The_Gamers_Gamer]

@@AbirZenith Yet it was in production for several years under "last gen" tech. Now everyone says it was never for last gen. Man some of you apologists deserve a gold medal in mental gymnastics cause you have away of flipping things in your minds to match your own biases.

Turn off chromatic aberration, film grain and depth of field. Put shadow cascade at medium. That will improve both fps and image quality by a ton.

DLSS is a software crutch. Should be another consumer friendly feature to enjoy, not a necessity, which will ultimately result in investors not wanting to build better hardware. Nvidia been scamming customers without competition for so long they haven't built up their raw horse power until this last batch of cards. Even now they held things back with basics like VRAM while still charging premium prices. Smmfh.
