They are pretty intense, and will probably push my system to it's limits on Ultra (they only mention playing at 4K resolution):

A recently released 12 core CPU may be required to play smoothly at Ultra! It looks like a 7700X (8 core) will probably be sufficient to play at the 'High' preset.

They also recommend a NVME drive to play at 'Ultra'.

Essentially, it seems like a relaunch of Cyberpunk, with higher system requirements.

Maybe wait till the end of 2024 to build a new PC, if you've waited this long! The DLC is coming out in September 2023.

Hehe, they are recommending just a RTX 3080 to play at 4K Ultra :cry:

tbf, I think they mean the 12GB VRAM version...

Also, if you have an AMD card, the answer to RT Overdrive is 'Just no' / 'you can't even try'. Or any Nvidia card below the 4080.

Thankyou CD Projekt, for contributing to the now widespread joke that is ray tracing system requirements for games.

You couldn't make this stuff up!

Is CDPR relegated to the lazy Devs now?

Alex@DF is gonna go right off his nut on one when he finds out an existing engine has just upped the min requirements.:p
 
It does make me wonder if CD Projekt have even tested the RX 7900 XT with the Ultra Preset.

Or just decided that the RX 7900 XTX would definitely be enough at this preset, and won't even try to optimise and test the RX 7900 XT.

Maybe they just want people to buy high end cards, to prepare them for future games...

and tacitly admit that the game won't work perfectly with a RX 7900 XT, at least not without some patches, or perhaps FSR3.

The older requirements stated that a RX 6800 XT was required for 4K Ultra.

Didnt think those requirements were that high but then saw the small print at the bottom which says those frame rates were attained with dlss3 frame gen on. Lol

The thing about any sys. reqs. is that usually it's just to indicate passing a threshold with the components tested, but it's not to be read as benchmarks or for comparative results between different vendors. They don't actually have every GPU/CPU from past X generations and test with them until they drill down to what's actually the minimum required for a specific res/preset/fps.
Really the only thing that stands out here are the CPUs, but it doesn't mean much because we see it go from 7800X to 7900X with no change in CPU settings except resolution (which should in fact decrease CPU load due to higher reqs. from GPU) - there's just no world in which this can be read as accurate requirements. High -> Ultra preset doesn't actually change crowd, which is what matters.
The SSD part also doesn't mean much because as they've said in the blogpost, they are really only not validating for HDDs but not that it will necessarily change anything in practice (we'll see). Unless they introduce DirectStorage with the expac then they simply don't have the tech stack required to actually put a faster SSD to use beyond shaving off loading speed times, let alone to differentiate a slow SATA SSD vs a fast NVME.
The GPU reqs. are probably the most accurate but they are also exactly in line with what CP2077 already requires so it didn't actually go up in that case.
Personally I really hope they do fix the streaming system and allow us to push it further, it's by the biggest graphical weakness with CP2077, and if they fix that then they're pretty damn near perfect for 2023.

Why would increasing the fidelity and thus the requirements mean they're lazy? That makes no sense. Ofc reqs. should go up if you push the settings.

if cp2077 had released with these settings and cut off the older gen of consoles/pc hardware completely it wouldnt have taken them this long to patch it into playability and it could have been a lot better game from the start
 
Why is a 3080 being compared to a 7900XT,is it because it's a Nvidia sponsored game? because it easily beats it in raster,and is around a 3090 in RT
 
Those graphical settings i can’t run cause i bought AMD make me really upset and jealous. Better go and pretend to make fun of them fast/blame devs to feel better and also try to convince others i dont care about them by saying how much i dont care! Phew, good plan. Glad i thought about that, saved!

Or, you can just not run RT, nevermind Pathtracing since you dont care about it and then no real reason to complain!

That's what I was thinking.

Looking at these results, neither card can handle the current version of Cyberpunk at 4K Ultra, at least at a smooth 60 FPS:

CP2077_4K-p.webp


But both cards can comfortably play at 1440p.

It looks like the RTX4080 would've been a more accurate recommendation at 4K (rather than a 3080), but maybe they thought that just sounded too high spec + expensive.

Considering the 7900 XTX delivers 1% lows of approx 62, perhaps that's not such an unreasonable recommendation.

It's not gonna be any better than what we see above, especially if they are upgrading the graphical quality further.

Will be interesting to see if frame generation on it's own can push this game over 60 FPS comfortably on a RX7900 XT, or hopefully upcoming Navi32 GPUs as well.

It's not all all clear how they are going get the game running smoothly at 4K ultra at 60 FPS on a RTX 3080 12GB, when the 1% lows are around 39 in the current game version.
