Cyberpunk 2077 - Phantom Liberty Ray Tracing Comparison DLSS 3.5 | RTX 4090

Impressed with the visuals in this new DLC. Settings are at the end. Most of the scenes are done by reloading the save for consistency (swapping settings on the fly can glitch out), however as a result of that you sometimes get different NPCs. The environment / lighting is the same, any change in the lighting is from path tracing. All of the footage is using DLSS + Frame Generation and the non-path tracing clips are using Psycho. Consider leaving a like and a comment if you enjoy these videos, it helps with the algorithm. Thanks 👍

Please bring it to the 3000 series family

there are so many issues with path tracing and also dlss in its current state. it may look good in a stable shot. but playing is not great. also the artistic lightning choice in the ray tracing off mode is way better in a lot of indoor scenarios. ray tracing may be great in a couple of years. when dev´s use it in the whole development cycle.

Ah yes. A feature for only 5% of people who own rtx4090.

Lol AAA devs and their obsession with gRaPHicS. Why do people care about this? Just make a good game with a soul. If I want realism, I'll look out my window.

Path Tracing is nice, but we all know that in the future it will be done by IA with much less impact (you need an actual 2000$+ gpu just to run it correctly).
Ray Reconstruction is a hint, they intend to do a full IA calculated path tracing, avariable to mid end gpus.

RT will slowly disappear, RT cores will be replaced by dedicated PT Tensor cores.

Am I the only one who likes the image without PT and RR more?!

I tried using path tracing and my PC bursts into flames.

I love path tracing but it knocks me down to about 80fps with dlss 3 on which is enough to notice the latency tbh. When I play on psycho RT with this I max out my 144hz monitor and the latency becomes unnoticeable so tend to go for psycho instead.

Man, those load values...
GPU: 😡
CPU: 🥱

Never realized the path tracing made such a noticeable difference. For once, I'd be willing to use something like that as normally I don't use ray tracing owing to both its performance hit and that it only makes a small difference. But path tracing... yeah, that probably is worth the hit if it can make the game look THAT different.

Man, ghosting with dlss is unbelievable.

You chose some great spots to show differences, nice job!

and the low textures in the comparations are Ray tracing too😂😂

Great but also useless. The textures could have been made in a way to simulate Occulation and Raytracing shadows s its is less taxing to geet good visuals.

running this game in 120 fps with path Tracing on ultra (RTX 4070 Ti) is beautiful and impressive how high CG is nowadays

How do you push your 4090 to 500W? Mine can't break ~430W no matter what. Thanks for your reply.

Wish i had a 4090.

Amazing job on editing this, you really found some of the best examples I’ve seen. I’m playing at 1440p and getting 110-150 fps, pretty amazed by how well it runs thanks to the reconstruction and frame insertion. The ai is a big deal and if it keep getting better it’ll be affordable faster than people think. It’s black magic trickery but it works.

Not bad, but gameplay is boring

Cyberpunk just became literally best game in last few years, thanks CDPR for making this amazing product! at least its not broken like loadingscreefield

Ray Construction made Path Tracing so stable... omg.

damn... should have gotten 3080 instead of 3070

Can't wait for the sequel on UE5 (probably for next-gen and if they're smart next gen only).

there is only point to use path tracing+ray reconstruction as it is noticebly improving the looks, the regular rt just eats tons of fps and doesnt improve the looks as much at all.

RY is so fake

why the fuck would i want a 90% performance hit for no difference, garbage technology

why do you just keep changing the order just put it in same sequence

amd fanbois crying in the corner

Half of kW for this...

Guys, I would like to say do not be afraid to set DLSS ultra performance on Path Tracing at 4k at least. I have the 3090 and thought I couldn't play because Ultra Performance on regular RT looked so bad.

I set DLSS to UP expecting to look like shit, but it was actually pretty good. Of course there are some issues, specially in characters hair, but it holds up surprisingly good. Then for curiosity I decided to turn off Ray Reconstruction and everything looked TERRIBLE. I think it was because it was raining? But my god it was unplayable. The moment I turned on Ray Reconstruction, boom, everything looking good (Again, good as in pretty good but not excellent). Finished the game again with PT and was a treat.

Awesome, now all I need is a NASA PC :')

I mean, yeah, it looks nice. I think I wouldn't get a new PC just for this, as the default game is already very pretty - but it's nice.

What resolution does this run on? I assume 4k but is it native 4k or upscaled? Well the Ray Reconstruction works only with DLSS enabled as far as I know, but what DLSS setting is this? Quality? Or a different one?

tbh its not that impressive outdoors, looking at this i mostly see Cyberpunk is an amazing looking game at its core with out ray tracing in some cases even better like the truck windshield wtf is that ray tracing looks like fake glass.

Clicked the video to check if the thumbnail was bait. Congratulations you reverse tricked me. A like is due.

Yeah RT and PT look absolutely awesome, but can we agree that this game looks fine without them aswell?

Now here's my take on it. Would you and can you play on the max setting? Or is it just for show?

Path tracing outside looks good, but I'm not sure I like it in certain scenes indoors. It takes away from the intended artistic design.

hi do you have a tutorial of setting the top right overlay up like yours? thanks

i played in 2020 with 2060 super... looked good without TR. now 3080 ti, RT ultra.. but no path tracing, its never enough!!!

If I could afford that ridicules price for a 4090 or something similar, I would totally enjoy that frame gen and shit lol. To bad, shit is crazy expensive right now.

ppl say this is impressive, i don't agree it kinda looks better in some scenario but not always, the biggest problem is the massive drop in performance... i would keep my fps.
i realistically see this being used if we get actual performance/price uplift with next gen gpu, as it is now only ppl with 4090 and likes can have a playable experience.

а где динамические сцены? там всё плохо?

if only AMD would do these types of tech on their cards... blows my mind they refuse to innovate
