If you want to use frame gen then yes it's currently a 40 series exclusive, which may or may not be an issue if non 40 series cards cannot maintain decent fps with just DLSS Super Resolution (DLSS2 without frame gen).

I think we will have to resort to using DLSS 2 in Performance mode to get half decent fps in this with PT enabled on non 40 series cards at 1440p and lower some other settings maybe. AMD cards may want to skip the update altogether :p

I might try upping my resolution to 5120x2160 and then using Ultra Performance to see how that looks. Never tried Ultra Performance before :cry:

Edit* The video shows RT on vs PT on, screengrabs of both, as suspected, the tech demo trailer cherry picked instances where RT is amplified, the same amplification is visible in normal hybrid RT, the differences are more subtle in RT vs PT:

Is this worth the up to 40% performance cost? Certainly not, I think as a tech demo it is great, but I have no doubt people will go out and buy a 4080/4090 for Frame Generation as a result of this update alone. This game world isn't photo realistic enough to really show off what path tracing is capable of delivering in terms of visuals. The art style is such that it looks like a game still, whereas engines like UE5 are focusing on photo realism with hybrid RT methods instead. I think the latter is more compelling and better for gaming, you don't need the 40% performance expense, you get richer more detailed game worlds. Everybody wins.

Agreed. What a waste of money, but then people do love to send all their cash to Nvidia.

Amazing they still haven’t fixed the game, but focus on these gimmicks instead.

Most of the comparison shots look nice in the above but two in particular are annoying me. The scene inside the nightclub and the one outside the door looks like shadows are set to off in the non PT shot. It creates that game breaking illusion that the characters are just floating and/or have no weight.

I need to watch the video as it looks like a lot of the changes are more subtle but in a good way.

Assuming it isn't 4xxx series specific it will be hilarious watching the 3080M in my Legion (or the Flow) attempt to run it... (ARC A750 anyone... :cry:)

Beacuse even with RT not all shadows are ray traced and some are not even drawn at all since they're too expensive. And yes, that can cause weird looking scenes.
 
The RTX 50 series is said to be 2-4x more powerful than the 40 series, so it makes sense that to properly realise path tracing without having to rely on frame gen to up the framerate (and in turn introduce the artefacting seen in various games using it), that this will be the way to go tbh. 40 series was always ging to be the gen 1 stepping stone to true GPU power. On one hand the 40 series is at least 100 watts more power efficient than any higher 30 series card, whilst still being more powerful than then, so I expect 50 series will be even more power efficient - Which is good for consumers in a world where people now carefully choose when they game because of electricity bills and whatnot.

Pretty much, ada is what turing was. 50xx is the way!

Hopefully 5xxx series is when I'll finally to get to play the game properly since I just want to go through it for the graphics and atmosphere, it doesn't do anything groundbreaking or out-of-this-world amazing outside of that from what I played so I'll gladly wait some more time to experience the visuals at their best. Assuming I'll be able to buy a 5xxx that is:P

I will have a quick go now at 30fps for the graphic now, but next playthrough will be near the time the expansion is out.

I'll ride it out on the PS5 till 5xxx series, then it gets flogged for a new gpu and since I'll be renovating my room I'll use that opportunity to run a cable to my TV in the other room. Then it's Cyberpunk time:P

I tried 30fps but it just kills me on OLED:P

I only intend to do it for a short while to see what’s what with the new pathtracing update. Not a full playthrough :cry:
