cyberpunk 2077 has been launched but
instead of me
rambling on i'm just going to show you
guys the differences
in this whole video where we've got here
low settings
versus medium versus high versus
ultra at 4k 60fps so feel free
to put this video on a big tv to see if
you can tell all the differences and
also if you want to see what
this game looks like in all its glory on
its maximum settings
on an rtx 3090 and the funny thing about
this game is
it can even bring the almighty 3090
to its knees and we're talking like 20
fps
at 4k max with ray tracing on but i'll
let you guys be the judge
with your eyes and be sure to hit that
like button for us early
because this one took a lot of time
where premiere was almost just
crapping out with four images stacked
over the top of each other
in one different scene now we've also
thrown in ray tracing
as well as dlss and the amd fidelity fx
upscaling static feature
so get ready for all the eye candy your
eyeballs can handle
right after our sponsor spot brought to
you by asus mwave and intel
bringing you the ultimate gaming pc at
the thunderous core of this system is an
intel core i7 10700 kf
a cores and 16 threaded overclockable
cpu that already goes to 5.1 gigahertz
out of the box
powered by the rog strix z490 490-g
gaming wi-fi motherboard which helps you
get the most out of your gaming pc
with upgraded power delivery and
optimized cooling for smooth fps and
cool operating temperatures
intelligent controls let you manage
overclocking cooling and networking
settings easily
giving you everything you need to
harness the full potential of your build
for top tier gaming performance though
powering the graphics is this off rtx
3080 with its tried and true
axial tech fan design we've covered this
card on the channel and it's amazing
links in description below if you're
interested in getting a pc like this
and now we're back into the comparison
where we've got night city
up here yet again with the low medium
high
and ultra detail settings now one thing
you'll notice about the roads
is that they drastically change between
low
and medium settings but then when we
move on to
high settings you'll notice that the
fps changes a bit but the detail is very
similar
so you're going to be losing about 20
fps
from going from low to medium settings
and then you'll end up losing say
another 15
going from medium to high settings but
then moving on to ultra you lose an
additional 10 on top of high settings
and you're not gaining a whole lot of
visual fidelity so
medium settings is definitely where it's
at in terms of a quick preset
now we've got the ray tracing up here as
well which does use auto dlss
but in this case on the ray tracing uh
presets i find they do take a little bit
of detail away
from the texture of the roads and you
should be able to see this if you pull
it up in
full 4k glory on your monitors
however you're probably wondering at
this stage what about the daytime
what's the daytime looking like and
here's where we're going to pull up the
daytime
in night city yet again with the obvious
difference being between
low and medium settings this is for me
personally when i'm looking at this and
i'm
pulling this up by the way on a 4k oled
55 inch
so the bigger the monitor you can pull
this game up on the easier it's going to
be
to see the differences whether they're
minute or big
and what i'm noticing is yet again in
the daytime
there's some huge differences between
low and medium but that being said
the low settings preset in cyberpunk
2077
is still gorgeous and it's still
absolutely playable
on this game it looks really good it's
just if you want to get that
big boost in visual fidelity then
definitely do
change that from low to medium now going
to high settings here
for me personally it didn't do a whole
lot and in some cases
in the daylight especially you can see
when the
preset turns on things like chromatic
aberration
and depth of field i personally am not
a big fan of these settings i just like
to keep them off
so wherever my eyeballs end up
gravitating towards
i can see more detail in that area at
the given time especially if i'm doing a
mission
or i'm on a certain task and i want to
see every detail and pick things up
though the next setting we've got up
here is the floors like this is just
in the city at night time and we can see
that the low medium high and ultra
settings the presets
don't take advantage of the ray trace
reflections
though you will see yet again the
detailed difference
between the low settings and the medium
settings now there are reflections that
are built into the game's engine itself
by default however these don't look
anywhere near as good as the ray trace
reflections
in this game and we'll pull that up very
soon for you guys after you
just see the difference between the high
settings and the ultra quality settings
but do
um ignore that bogan who keeps walking
back and forward
in the shot he seems to love getting a
bit of camera time
though now switching to ray tracing we
can see that the puddle and everything
else just changes completely here where
you now got ray trace reflections
and you've got definitely dynamic uh if
i was to move for example
then those ray trace reflections do move
around with the camera
so ray tracing in this game i will give
credit where credit's due
it looks absolutely phenomenal though
i'll continue the
settings here with a custom settings
that i'm dialing in for how i play this
game personally at the moment
when we go with the medium setting
preset and we switch on
anisiotropic settings to 16x
and then we leave on ray tracing and
dlss on quality
and you see that it gives a similar
effect but gives us the best sweet spot
for fps
next up we have night city before you
meet the ripple dock who put some
implants
in your cybernetic core and this one's
a big one between low and medium you'll
notice like just all the other
comparisons
there are some big differences
especially looking at the second floor
right in the center you'll see it all
light up
very soon on medium but then we move
over to high settings there's not a
whole lot of a difference i mean between
medium and low
you may notice some of the characters in
the background look a little bit more
detailed
than they do on the low settings of
course the fps
does pretty much that drop is universal
between all the different settings that
we're seeing in all these scenes here
but the 4k high doesn't have a whole lot
more to offer over 4k medium
though what you'll see with ultra is
actually some pretty subtle differences
if you're looking close enough
especially on those neon
kanji lights that are wrote above the
nightclub and that's that they do
i guess beam off more detail on the
reflections or the wall though when we
turn on ray tracing
it doesn't actually do a whole lot in
this scene i'd say in this particular
scene
it's probably out of all the recordings
i've done in today's video and actually
all the play
playing i've done this scene's probably
the least
noticeable in terms of differences
between ray tracing
off and on though one thing you will
notice when you turn it on ultra ray
tracing is the second floor does
light up and change a lot
and the top part also does start to
become a bit pixelated so there are
trade-offs
going with the ultra 4k which uses dlss
auto on performance
however what i'm going to show you now
is no dlss
on 4k ultra settings and you'll see the
fps drops down to 20.
this is when people are saying rtx 3094k
20fps max settings
this is it this is what you're looking
at does look gorgeous
but you won't be able to play the game
at 20 fps i can tell you that
the one i'm pulling up now is custom
settings which i'll show you
a little bit later these are the custom
settings i'm playing at medium settings
dlss quality
16 anisto tropic filtering and it looks
gorgeous with ray tracing on medium and
reflections on medium
they'll pull up another example here
with ultra ray tracing setting
with dlss auto and no dlss
now for this next comparison here we are
in the big
city during the day and this one's
really good for edges
edges and more edges we've got a lot of
sharp edges here to the point where
you will see a big difference
yet again going from that low settings
preset
and it comes in the form of especially
that kibaya food symbol in the
background
you've got the lowest anisiotropic
filtering setting set with
i guess unoptimal shadows where you can
really see a big difference here if you
pixel peep
between the two and the medium settings
it just looks gorgeous
as it is though when we start stepping
it up to
high and ultra i really was hard pressed
to find
big differences besides very minor
differences pixel peeping and that's
probably to do with the higher
anisotropic
filtering settings which is why i'm
using a custom blend of
anisotropic on 16x on the medium
settings preset
because it's giving me that good fps or
at least playable fps
but still giving me an absolute gorgeous
picture
so what we're learning here is that for
all these examples that i'm showing you
guys
medium is the way to go if you're on pc
at the moment but then change it to a
16x an isotropic filtering
so this next one we've got here is just
uh pretty much another example between
medium ray tracing and ultra ray tracing
where if you look hard enough
you will see the performance mode which
i believe is what they're using for
ultra ray tracing
performance mode dlss doesn't work as
good as the quality mode dlss
so if you're using dlss definitely set
this to quality
though next thing we're going to talk
about here is of course
hdr now i can't show you guys hdr in
this video unfortunately
because it just looks washed out this is
if i try to show you this is exactly
what you're gonna see
it's just a complete washed out image
and also when i tried to record it
we were getting some real weird bugs
like jackie was just teleporting and
stuff like that so
there's that comparison out the window
though what i'll show you now is
4k custom this is my custom settings
that i use
you can see it looks awesome dlss is
turned off
but then i'll turn on dlss for quality
and you guys can check
that you see the fps goes up literally
like 50
it's huge it's a big boost and the
quality looks very similar and you're
getting pretty much the same detail now
same goes for the custom fidelity fx
static on 80. that looked really good as
well when i checked that out
though the colors did change quite a bit
i found it to be a bit more of a
contrasty picture
between dlss and the fidelity fx on 80.
and the fps was slightly better on dlss
quality
and speaking of dlss we've got a quality
comparison here between
no dlss versus the quality setting
versus balanced
versus performance now all four of these
settings are really good
i wouldn't personally use the ultra
performance i found on both monitors
that i was testing on here
it just looked really bad even though
the fps was good it just looked bad
but on my 4k oled i'm using dlss quality
and then on the super ultra wide
i'm using performance so dlss is
definitely worth turning on in cyberpunk
but do tune it to your personal
preference
and with all those comparisons aside do
drop a comment in the comment section
below
if you are playing this game or if it's
just too difficult to run on your pc
i will say one thing this game is
definitely pushing the
hardware limits in 2020
it looks absolutely phenomenal but the
thing is about this game is the story
is absolutely amazing like i'm having so
much fun
pulling out this samurai sword and just
chopping
the proverbial shiz up everywhere
it's a lot of fun they've done a great
job on this game
and i mean look there's some bugs where
i've like i hold tab and i jump
sometimes and i can meditate and there's
also like times where i can run really
fast
but those bugs aside the story is
amazing
the gameplay is amazing and the visual
fidelity
is absolutely gorgeous this game is
jaw-dropping
to the point where like i was driving
the other day
and it was raining and i'm just noticing
like wow all the reflections off the
road in real life
which is something i've never really
paid attention to in real life but
because this game
has such a realistic look to it and it's
coupled with that 2077
sort of vibe if that's what happens in
2077 i mean who knows
world could go that way but this game is
one that's
pushing the boundaries of graphics and i
like
it's it's go it's gorgeous it's eye
candy but before we get on out of here
do keep in mind this is a comparison
done on pc
i have heard that the uh ps4 especially
the last gen consoles and the xbox one x
the game looks hideous on those two um
i mean yeah pc gaming's where it's at
you guys know i love pc gaming and
i hope you guys enjoyed today's video if
you did be sure to hit that like button
for us
also let us know below what was your
favorite scene
in today's video and i look forward to
catching you another tech video very
soon
peace out for now bye
