A digital artist has created a stunning graphics overhaul for Cyberpunk 2077, utilizing over 300 mods, 4K resolution, 170FPS, and full pathtracing, making the game look more realistic than ever, but requiring a high-end PC with an RTX 5090 to run smoothly.
MachineGames has released the first update for "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle," introducing path tracing for NVIDIA RTX GPUs, enhancing the game's visual quality with ray traced shadows, reflections, and indirect illumination. This update also addresses several bugs and promises future integration of AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution. While the path tracing feature significantly improves graphics, it also impacts performance, particularly on the RTX 4080, though DLSS settings can help manage this. The game is now available on PC and Xbox Series S|X, with a PlayStation 5 release planned for next spring.
A new video showcases Cyberpunk 2077 with full path tracing and additional mods, including the Nova Lut graphics mod, resulting in stunningly realistic visuals. The game, along with its Phantom Liberty expansion, offers an immersive experience with over 120 hours of content, especially for those with high-end PC setups capable of handling the advanced graphics. The video by @MisterSpace3 highlights the significant visual enhancements that modding can bring to the game.
A modder named 'TenebrisVenit' has released a modification for Cyberpunk 2077 that enhances the game's path tracing and ray tracing effects, which had faced issues following the 2.1 update. The mod, which involves a simple .ini file tweak, can be downloaded and added to the game's directory to potentially restore and improve visual quality. CD Projekt Red's Global Art Director, Jakub Knapik, has also discussed the ongoing development and improvements to the game's path tracing technology.
A new graphical showcase of Cyberpunk 2077's Overdrive mode with Path Tracing and over 100 mods has been released, featuring the game running in 4K resolution on an NVIDIA RTX 4090 and an AMD Ryzen 9 7950xx CPU. The showcase includes various Quality-of-Life improvements and changes to characters, NPCs, the minimap, cars, and more. Cyberpunk 2077 is available worldwide now for PC and consoles, but the Overdrive mode with Path Tracing is only available on PC.
Cyberpunk 2077's RT Overdrive is the most ambitious RT implementation ever created, adding path tracing to one of the most visually impressive PC games currently on the market. The upgrade is a performance nightmare for anything other than best-of-the-best hardware, but it's also scalable and delivers impressive frame-rates. The tests were done at reconstructed 4K resolution aided by DLSS 3 frame generation. The upgrade will be available as a free upgrade to the existing PC release.
