*** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

Installed and played for the first time yesterday. Seems a bit janky but ran ok using optimised setting from nvapp with the new drivers.
I did the first mission and it was working ok but crashed while talking to Jackie, tried again and crashed 5 more times. Ran the file checker, verify thing on gog and tried again and got through the convo. Got through the cut scene and started the first tutorial and it starts crashing again. Not a good start hopefully it's just a problem with the new nvapp or drivers.
When it crashes it just freezes for a second then goes to desktop with the oops crashed popup.

Just noticed I get far higher fps in the actual game than in the CP benchmark with the same settings. Very odd

That's deliberate I think, it's supposed to be a very stressful benchmark that gives you a quick and conservative estimate of what your hardware can do. If it can run the benchmark well, it can run anywhere & any situation in the game well.
 
This is wierd. So having an RTX4090 you would think Nvidia's DLSS would run the game faster than AMD's software.... NO. AMD's gets me around 170fps but Nvidia only around 70fps. *scratching head*.

Any overclocks on your system?
I had crashes when I'd set my ram to a higher speed setting.

Changed the speed around a little and it's run fine since

Cheers for the info, I got it working.
I hadn't updated the mobo drivers and bios since building the system 2 years ago, after doing that i ran the benchmark 10 times in a row and then played several hours and no crashes, so fingers crossed its ok now.
My cpu and gpu are undervolted and the ram is running expo with slightly tweeked settings so if i do start getting crashes again i'll look into it.

Finished the main story earlier today and here are my thoughts having played on ray tracing ultra preset - 1440p OLED monitor.

i thought the graphics were very good, around a 7/10 but i was only wowed occasionaly, mostly looking in shiny reflections. Going round the city and the Alcedo camp in the daylight looked great. At night the city looked decent but not like wow thats amazing.

In the first few hours of gameplay I have to say i was getting quite irritated by the amount of cut scenes and lack of gameplay. For context this is the first pc game i have played in about 6 years ( Witcher 3) so maybe i was looking forward more playing time. Over time though i did ifnd myself getting more invested in the story and overall it was all worthwhile. I thought the character animations were very impressive as is the voice acting.

Gameplay was very good, i particularly enjoyed using melee weapons, the haptic feedback from the dual sense controller was excellent. Gun play as well very good. Driving seemed a bit off but still enjoyable.

I did one more mission ( with help from my friends) after the main mission but to be honest i'm not sure if i want to carry on. I am curious to see if V finally hooksup with Panam thoug so maybe I will go back and find out.

But for now i am going to play Horizon Zero Dawn remastered, i have played this on the base PS5 and that is a game that wows me graphically. Can't wait to see what the remastered version looks like on pc maxxed out.

I've finally got back into this I played about 10 hours a couple of years ago but abandoned it I've started afresh again I'm about 15 hours in and I'm enjoying it. I'm a bit of an AMD fan boy if I'm honest and haven't really bought into ray tracing. I've been playing this on my Nvidia based laptop because I'm away from home and I'm pretty wowed by path tracing.

Quality.good game
 
Just finished replaying this after buying it just after Christmas since I had played it when it first launched when it was still a big buggy mess.

Really enjoyed my 2nd playthrough and enjoyed the DLC even if the endings for that were a bit depressing but great game, probably play it again once I get my new GPU just to see how it runs then and do a different run
 
im pretty shocked the new DLSS supports none 50xx series cards....the performance boost has completely ruled out any need for me to current get a 5090, im sure im not the only one in this position.

1440p: I can get a decent framerate (40-50fps) on a 3060Ti with RT on and DLSS Balanced and most settings high/ultra. 20ish with PT on. With DLSS3 RT was in the 20's and PT single figures

Pretty sure the bottleneck is the 8Gb VRAM on the card.

Started playing again after I hit a wall shortly after release (spread my upgrade points too thin, didn't do enough side quests to boost progression), but this time round I've mainly focused on Tech Ability, Intelligence & Reflex, which has resulted in a pretty powerful Netrunner/Sniper build.

Just hit level 5 on my Cyberdeck, so all my Quick hacks are pretty lethal, which makes heavily populated combat zones a doddle (hack a camera to scan for the boss, upload Contagion to affect everyone around him, then CyberPsycho to get him to fight for you...)

I've reached the end, point of no return mission (Meet Hanako at Embers), but still got plenty of side quests to finish, so I'll do those before seeing how much of a mess I can make of Adam Smasher...
 
Never had the motivation to complete this game, been that way since near launch. That, and I've held out for better hardware to play it as intended
 
Completed my first playthrough this evening. I know there are several more endings to experience, but for a game that I was seriously in two minds about buying (for £20ish!), I've struggled to stop playing the game once I'm in it. In a way, I've got to the end of my first playthrough and have similar thoughts to when I finished Red Dead Redemption 2. Without going in to detail, I didn't want that to be the end. Along with the other endings, I'll probably pick up Phantom Liberty at some point. In terms of side missions, etc., I had completed all apart from a few races and NCPD missions when I started the last mission, I remember that I made a concerted effort to complete all of them some time last year before thinking about carrying on with the last few hours of the game.

The game has surprised me because I don't usually get along with games that have weapons/things that don't exist, and I usually just refrain from buying games with futuristic themes, but I enjoyed this. The only things that kind of annoyed me was the length of the intro as kind of mentioned in a previous post, and the car physics/handling was just about OK and I always felt like something wasn't right with the speed of vehicles. As I took a break from the game in the last couple of months I can only remember one bug that was an actual problem and that was a guard getting stuck below floor level in one of the final missions which meant that I had to start the mission over.

I'm on a fairly outdated PC, so I can't comment on graphics as I think most options were set to medium.

One thing is for sure, walking/driving around Night City has kind of made me glad that, should technology become anywhere near that advanced, I won't be around to experience it.
 
Its hard to believe this is what DLSS Ultra Perf looks like these days, especially when it holds onto its clarity in motion. The detail on the car is crazy

I enjoyed the DLC, i know they are pretty much done with the game now, and it is an excellent game to play.
Still think as i did many years ago that the Judy romance story was one of the best ingame character development things I've seen anywhere, and with the new ending brought forth by a certain way of ending things in the DLC, it is even more upsetting, and engaging.
 
Have been trying to find settings that will allow the game to run at a constant 60fps at 1440p because in certain very busy areas of the city it dips a bit.
Still perfectly playable but the occasional slight stuttering is jarring.
Could anyone please tell me if they've found a setting or two that can be lowered which would give me 5 ish frames for the least/no degradation in visual quality.
GPU is an AMD 7800XT
I've ruled out upscaling as an option.

Thanks.
