Played around 3 hours so far and absolutely loving this. It's such a nice evolution of Max Payne and the elemental powers just add to it.

Playing on my 2080 Super with RTX on high and it's sooooo smooth. Their DLSS implementation works well with the slightly reduced resolution and it ticks along very nicely. The lighting/reflections etc which come with RTX are just beautiful and add to the immersion and atmosphere for sure.

I recently purchased some Philips Hue Light Strips for the back of my monitor, synced up with this game are just brilliant as well.

Also try shooting a Fire Extinguisher and then picking it up...it's brilliant to run about with

What resolution are you playing at?

Finding the motion blur offputting, it's something I always disable in games as I really don't like the effect, I understand that I'm going to have to live with it to some extent but are there any tips to reduce it? The latest NVidia drivers seemed to help a little.

Joker tells you here how to disable the blur.

Blooooodyyy ell this game looks epic! With DLSS at 4K its smooth on my rig, even at 1080p render res it looks good but I have it at 1440p. Excellent

Poneros · 28 Aug 2019 at 16:27

I honestly didn't expect it to be this good, but they really did a great job!

If this looks this good I expect Cyberpunk to be perfectly playable on almost max settings

1440p with the DLSS render at 1706x960. I was also playing it without installing the new driver set so will sort that tonight

Running that myself with RTX on Medium (only got a 2060) and Sharpening at 50%, looks and plays great.

Yup, that's "only" gonna do GI. But I suspect people will be in for a shock when they realise it's their CPU getting murdered. Dense open world/city after all.

Hopefully my 3700x will manage it fine.

This really is a great game and no bugs so far.

Had one where it doesn't seem to load the high res textures on certain assets now and again (simple toggle between High/Ultra brings them back).

But other than that it's been solid.

Amazed how this runs on my gtx1060. Only at 1080p but everything on high, no RT but it plays so smooth.
Great storyline and graphics are physics are excellent.

His solution is to add a -noblur switch to the end of the command line for the game, I've just tested this with DX11 & DX12 and it doesn't work, Joker by name .........

This works - Thanks a lot for posting.

This game did get decent reviews, and I loved the old Max Payne games from Remedy.

But whenever I watch footage, this just looks really samey and boring to me.

Am I missing something?

NB: I didn't enjoy Alan Wake either.

The max Payne games aren't exactly that different are they. Shoot, bullet time, shoot rinse and repeat. The story and atmosphere are what you play for and the gameplay is simple but nuanced with the powers and the service weapon plus mods. Hell of a lot of fun as well.

VincentHanna · 30 Aug 2019 at 09:41

Fair enough, what I meant was that I enjoyed those games at the time (nearly 20 years ago).

Whether I would enjoy those still now, maybe not.

How will this run with a GTX 1080 at 1400p?

Should run reasonable ok. Unfortunately lots of variables so just adjust graphics options accordingly. Certainly loads better than any version of the game console for sure.

jrodga2k5 · 31 Aug 2019 at 17:25

Just finished this...around 10 hours is right...and thoroughly enjoyable combat throughout! The story is rather confusing but enjoyable too, they really did put a massive amount of effort into just about every facet of it.

sewerino26 · 31 Aug 2019 at 20:53

I have 33fps-to 60fps and when its 33fps its definitely slows on combat, on 2080 ti Aorus Xtreme Waterforce with 9900K.

Is any way to improve screen tearing/slowing on 30 fps? Its only in light areas. On darker i dont see even.

Using RAYTRACING HIGH,1440P render without DLSS. It looking so real. I am impressed.
But when i use DLSS ( 960 P ) i see an difference. Now its not looking so real and in fightning i just cant be happy with image quality + definitely i see low res and jaggies. Ehhhh.........

Or maybe its in my brain?

So what now. Play with 33fps+ 40+50+ or with DLSS full smooth?
