I won't buy Cyberpunk until they made an actual version for the Series/PS5. AKA the "next gen patch". As of now those consoles actually play variations of the One/PS4 versions, but with less technical problems due to more horsepower. The release of this game is a total mess.
I keep seeing people talk about how buggy the game is and how poorly it performs. I mean, yes, it is very demanding graphically, but it looks really good cranked up to the max. You just need good hardware for that and no the PS5 and Series X aren't going to cut it. Right now the PS5 runs the game at 60 fps at just over 1080p. Don't expect an actual next-gen version to play at 4k or perform any better unless they seriously cut back on graphics fidelity. The hardware in the PS5 and Series X is a cut down RDNA2 chip and the fastest AMD gpu's right now have serious issues with this game, especially with ray-tracing.
I haven't seen a single bug pop up and I'm running at a constant 60-70 fps @3440x1440 resolution with everything turned up to max except Ray-Tracing, which I won't be enabling until I can finally get my hands on an RTX 3080. The game still looks really good.
Quote from a coworker in our work gamers chat
Oh boy, on 4K with RT on and everything max, and DLSS turned off, I get like 7-9 FPS on my dual 2080ti setup.
I think this is why I'm not impressed with the graphics, this requires significant hardware, that I just don't have nor can even get, to get the most of it. In 2021 I plan on getting a 3080 and I'm curious if it will show a nice graphical improvement. I expect it to, it's just how much and does it actually wow me.
The same person followed up wondering if this is the next Crysis
First of all the game doesn't take advantage of SLI setups, nor will 99% of games going forward. Also, why would that person turn off DLSS? The new version of it has basically no loss in picture quality. Really, none that I can tell. People like to complain when developers add in graphical options that they can't run on their 200$ computers, smh.
I think just to prove a point about hardware, that's not how he's playing it.
I'm so damn frustrated with setting up the audio. I figured out what went wrong, when I updated the nvidia drivers on release day, it updated my audio drivers as well which reset all the custom settings I needed to have all the audio routed properly to my headset, use my mic, and pass all that to the stream PC. I've got it working now (I think I said that 3 times the last couple days to myself so...).
Anyway, off from work today so I'm going to be playing A LOT and just killed Royce, I feel like I walked into maybe a tougher mission than I was skilled for as it took me a lot of attempts to figure out wtf I'm doing with combat. I'm also playing on hard to start. I am slowly starting to get the hang of things though, as Boom stated, its information overload so it's going to take awhile to understand everything. Also still adjusting my settings, I may play on medium settings for the 60fps I seem to more consistently get. Ultra is around 40fps during combat.
