The CD Projekt developer studio provides updated system requirements for the action role-playing game “Cyberpunk 2077”, which contain hardware recommendations for various resolutions and graphics settings. The list also contains information on the required components with activated ray tracing graphics effects, including realistic shadows, reflections, ambient obscuration and scattered light.

For Full HD -Gaming (1920 × 1080 pixels) with “RTX On” is enough according to CD Projekt Nvidia’s slowest RTX graphics card GeForce RTX 2060 including the old quad-core processor and 16 GB of RAM. Nvidia explains in its own blog that users with a GeForce RTX for fluid frame rates Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) should be enabled. The GPU renders a lower resolution, for example 16 p, and scales the images with the help of a neural network.

The significantly faster GeForce RTX 3070 or GeForce RTX 2077 Ti creates in “Cyberpunk 2077 “1440 p (2560 × 1440 pixels) with ultra graphics settings, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ultra HD (3840 × 2160 Pixels). In both cases, the developers recommend a more modern four- or six-core processor such as AMD’s Ryzen 5 3600.

Raytracing for “Big Navi” follows Buyer of a Radeon RX 6900 XT, Radeon RX 6800 XT or Radeon RX 6800 with the nickname “Big Navi” go away empty-handed with ray tracing: CD Projekt only enables the ray effects with a patch for AMD graphics cards.

This should not be a compatibility problem, because “Cyberpunk 2077” relies on the standardized DirectX 10 – API DirectX Raytracing (DXR) from Microsoft sets, with the Can handle Radeon GPUs. Apparently, however, the developers are taking their time optimizing for AMD’s RDNA-2 architecture, because further patches with improved graphics will also be available for the new consoles Playstation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S after the release.

Since “Cyberpunk 2060” is created in cooperation with Nvidia, GeForce graphics cards have priority in the optimization . Time is generally short – the game has already been postponed several times, most recently to the 10. December 2020.
