Cyberpunk 2077: First preview of the RT Overdrive update

Overdrive for Cyberpunk 2077 is here — at least in preview: starting today, Nvidia graphics card owners can test “the most advanced real-time lighting in games.” GPU intensive requires, among other things, Geforce-RTX-40 and DLSS 3 in order to be able to use the lighting and reflections known as trajectory in real time. Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry shows what that might look like in a video posted to YouTube before the official launch.

4K video material rendered exclusively using a Geforce RTX 4090 with DLSS Super Resolution active in performance presetting and frame generation. According to the report, “Depending on the scene, a combination of different graphics settings were used” in the scenes shown — but it’s unclear if those settings were specified by Nvidia or if CD Projekt Red selected a best-case scenario for the extreme. performance.

To compare the new overclock settings in Cyberpunk 2077 (Buy now €74.89 ) Both the “usual” bitmap display and ray tracing options are used in the Psycho Preset. However, the comparison video doesn’t allow any conclusions to be drawn about performance with graphics cards that aren’t exactly Nvidia’s current flagship model or with lower high DLSS settings. Likewise, truly lossless video compression for YouTube uploads and low bitrate is an obstacle to an understandable benchmark for DLSS performance.
