Cyberpunk 2077 E3 Demo Ran at 1080p Ultra Settings with RTX On; Visuals & RTX to Improve Further

Alexious|1790d ago |News|52|

Cyberpunk 2077's E3 2019 demo ran at 1080p resolution and Ultra settings with RTX on. Optimization has barely been done at this point, though, and the developer also reckons the overall visuals and ray tracing in particular will improve for the final version of the game.

Man I remember 10 years ago when the best gpu on the market, the 9800 gtx, cost $350 brand new and it did everything a gamer could possibly ask of it.

I might get disagrees for this, but I was hoping this would launch with the new consoles.

It would be great to see how a ps5/Scarlett could run this game. I’m sure there will be a patch for it down the line, but it’ll probably be finished by then

If console gamers think they'll get rtx with the new consoles they're delusional. Consoles barely can hit 30fps as it is and they want literally the most expensive thing to render to date.

You need to have an RTX 2080 at minimum to get just half- descent performance. You need an RTX 2080 TI to get proper performance, and here in Canada, that will set you back a cool $1,600.00 give or take. RTX is not worth it at this point.

@harmny

Well, MS did confirm Scarlett will have hardware accelerated ray tracing, so its not really about believing or not. It will happen.

To what extent? Who knows...
will it be on the same level as what is seen on PC right now? Probably not.. then again, would you have said that next gen consoles would have significantly better loading times than PC next gen? I really doubt that, and yet its going to happen.

We dont really have any idea how AMD is doing ray tracing or even how much has nvidia optimized hardware accelerated ray tracing for their next set of cards to properly measure what can be expected on that front in next gen consoles

Agreed. Tbh I didn't expect any kind of Ray racing on nxt gen consoles so anything is a plus for me, audio or Ray tracing 0.5 will do me

They also said scarlet can 8k 120 fps, power of the cloud, wait for next e3 like 6 years in a row, dx12 secret sauce, best lineup ever, crackdown is looking good, promised lot of exclusives and then cancelled, you can't flip a switch and deactivate online only gaming, then flipped the switch, and many more things I dont remember right now

@tinchotin

They never said it would simultaneously do 8k 120fps, its probably just related to the hdmi setup in the console, as its not just any hdmi that can do those things.

Not really sure how all those other things you mention would be related to the mention of a specific hardware component in the console.

They'll probably be around the specs of the RTX 2060 Super that will be coming out. Real world performance will probably be more like the 2070 Super, due to console optimization.

It'll be interesting to see what devs do for resolution though. That's not really enough to run a game like Cyberpunk in 60fps 4K. I wouldn't be surprised if we either get games 60fps with a dynamic resolution around 1440P upscaled at or 4K at 30fps. I'm not familiar enough with the technicalities of ray tracing implementation, but my guess would be, if possible, they'll selectively implement it.

Big difference between hardware accelerated Ray Tracing and RTX. Just watch the Unreal Rebirth Demo & Cryteks Ray Tracing demo, then compare those to RTX based demo's, the proof is in the pudding. But competition always breeds innovation, so if they think they can produce a Software based Ray Tracing that compares to Hardware based then I am all for it. Maybe down the line I can finally stop buying Nvidia GPU's, pretty sure my wallet would thank me. But AMD is just slacking as of late on the GPU side soooo.. Still have to wait a couple more weeks to really see what Navi is about. But considering the early specs, still pales when put up against a 2080 or 2080ti.

@MarkyMark89

I think you are confusing the comparison.

Yes, RTX isnt just Ray Tracing, it includes other things, but the big actual difference is Software Accelerated Ray Tracing vs Hardware Accelerated Ray Tracing, which has a significant difference in the performance hit.

Which is why it was a big deal that MS confirmed it was Hardware accelerated and not software based. Though again, the actual scope is very much up in the air

Same buddy, I'm 43 now and normally a 1 playthrough guy (life commitments) but I don't want the game spoiled if I wait for ps5 playthrough (current ps4 base)
I feel this won't play as well seeing it on my Base model and god forbid how it will play on the Xbox S.
I think gamers forget 90% of us will be playing on base models

Yep, really enjoyed days gone, but that last 40hrs, south part of the map was dire performance wise (base model) will def be replaying that again on ps5.
I kinda wish I'd waited to play days gone though on ps5, same with cyberpunk, death stranding and tlou pt2.
My Base model ain't gonna do them games justice :(

When this game comes out the 3xxx series of cards will be too, likely much better than from 1xxx series to 2xxx as well hopefully. This gen has been very overpriced for the perf gains.

I'm expecting monster GPUs come next year.

I will not replace my GTX 1080 with an RTX card. Ray tracing needs to be on with hardly a performance loss, it's just not worth it for more pretty lights and reflections. Just use SweetFx and enable "fake" HDR, bloom etc.

Finally I get a game that will test my computer, unlike Battlefield V with RTX on. That game is so poorly optimized. ROG Strix OCed 2070 running at 1989Mhz with a 2700x running at a constant 4.1-4.3GHz and I still get lag spikes down into the 50-60fps range when I have RTX features on and I am in the thick of it.

Really excited to see this in all its RTX glory. I feel if a game comes out and does it right, it will show Ray Tracing from the Hardware side is the way to go. I was impressed by the Unreal Engine Rebirth demo and the Crytek Ray Tracing demo, but I feel both of those with Software based Ray Tracing pale in comparison to the Hardware based Ray Tracing on RTX Cards. The demo's speak for themselves, just hope people on console realize there is a difference in RTX based Ray Tracing and Ray Tracing in general. Lol this will be one of those features that both next gen consoles miss out on. But I don't blame Microsoft or Sony., how could they possibly afford to make a profitable consoles if they put Nvidia GPU's in them. That would kill their bottom line.....

I believe buying an RTX card is sending Nvidia the wrong message (last AMD card I bought was XFX 6970)
