I wanted to do a big comparison after the smoke cleared with update 2.00. Looks like everything is as stable as it's going to be, so please enjoy!
Cyberpunk 2077 got it's last big expansion with Phantom Liberty earlier this year. With the update came big improvements to ray tracing fidelity. This is probably the best looking lighting system in a game right now, and all the updates and hard work has made it run "reasonably" smooth too! It will take one more big leap in GPU power to really run the game at 4k, but for now I'll take any path tracing I can get even if it needs DLSS 3.5, ray reconstruction, or any other kind of A.I. powered wizardry...
Settings I used are at the end of the video, every clip uses the new Ray Reconstruction feature introduced with DLSS 3.5. Last time I had a lot of complaints of overdrive being too dark, so instead of using the default 1.00 gamma setting, I used 0.90. Hope that being a bit brighter helps to see the difference! I also wanted a direct comparison of the best ray tracing has to offer vs off, so I omitted path tracing without ray reconstruction this time around. OD+RR means Overdrive with ray reconstruction. DLSS is on Quality and frame generation is on.
What do you guys think is the biggest impact of path tracing? What does it change the most and would you consider it a high priority for gameplay?

Think he did it on purpose , the diff its not that huge in game , when u play at ultra settings with RT off. Think he used low settings for non Rt. just to make RT look much better in comparison ^^

My first playthrough was without RTX and my second with RTX then the Phantom Liberty with RTX + OD + RR It felt like another game with RTX On. But graphics aside .... it´s one of the best games i ever played. And i am 39 now playing videogames since im 5 or 6 P.S: Badass soundtrack as well. The Game and this Vid :D

Had a 4090 for review testing when phantom liberty came out and it wasn´t any problem. Now with 2.02 i went back in with my own 3090 RTX All Ultra Settings RTX On DLSS Quality without OD & RR and got around 60FPS. Usually totally playable but i am glad i played it through with a 4090 and really all RT Settings on though @@Artman.7007 edit: I am on 3440+1440p resolution just fyi

How do you feel about the immense amount of ghosting that comes with path tracing, and more with Ray Reconstruction, and even more with Deep Learning Super Sampling 3.5? I'm looking for ways to help mitigate if not treat that problem. Some people say it's due to a low monitor refresh rate. Other people say it has to do with DLSS. Some even say it has to do with screen space reflections. I don't know what to do.

@eightleafgaming 6 ай бұрын

I'm thinking there is not much you can do. I play at 4k with a 100 field of view and only rarely do I notice it so much that I think about it when I'm actually playing. I've remember reading the higher your resolution the better it will look though. It's pretty much not worth tracing without a 4080/4090 imo. It doesn't look sharp enough otherwise

if u have the hardware the best graphics is path tracing and ray recostruction off and rt on with hdr on but u need to set it. ray recostruction do nothing pathtracing give u better reflection and light change but blurry faces as hell and also a lot of texture, the path tracing changes some scenes but looks like not real and plastic graphics. if they fix the sharpening of image and face this poath tracing could be a game changer

feel the same man. I've got 4090 and doing mu second playthrough and still can't choose between PT+RR or RT Psycho with no RR. No RR means a crisp image, but reflections and lightning are worse of course. Still I can't stand those cartoonish faces with RR on

why RT off?

@harryshuman9637 6 ай бұрын

Some of the scenes look better without RT OD - at 4:20 the plastic bags are too shiny with RT OD, they look like they are made of latex instead of a translucent material like a plastic sheet - at 4:30, RT OD makes the scene way too bright, all objects lose shadows although they are under a bridge

Od is supposed to immitate real life light reflection, that's why it's not as BRIGHT or SHINY as the videogame.

It depends a LOT on the scene. But at the end of the day, it's just lighting. Some games have no RT but the lighting looks beautiful and convincing. Here the lighting is made accurate, but that doesn't automatically make every scene look "better". Every light was placed to look good with no RT.
