Cyberpunk 2077 RT Overdrive - Ray Tracing vs Path Tracing On vs Off Comparison | RTX 4080 4K DLSS

Do you use hdr or not? I don't have an oled monitor and I'm not sure it's worth it. It looks good, but waaaay to dark, and I'm not techy enough to know how to calibrate it correctly. I'm also only running at 1440p.

Path tracing is so glowy i dont like it

As is often the case with these things, you don't REALLY notice the difference until after you get used to it, then downgrade. Been playing Cyberpunk 2.0 on my RTX 3090 with path tracing, but there were some moments that just bottlenecked things so I downgraded to RTX Psycho settings for a while to get my 55 FPS back. Many hours later, during some select cut scenes without too much activity, I turned PTX back on and it really popped out how much more realistic the lighting and skin textures are for everything (as if this game didn't look realistic enough already!) with PTX.

Not as revolutionary as the leap from RTX off to RTX on but it's DEFINITELY there and has me sold to buy a 5090 when it comes out. It's been trickery though. There's been a tradeoff between this enhanced lighting and FPS. I'm looking forward to the future of games this decade with the 5090 whenever Nvidia releases it.

The future is bright (and well shaded)!

What is the background music?

Different between Path Tracing and Overdrive?

I managed to get 45fps with a rtx 3070 ti

In many cases, it seems Ray Tracing is like an ENB or Reshade. Path tracing, on the other hand, is the real deal.

Rt Path adds bloom

Dlss is gonna save us

I hope 5090 will be able to do 4k ultra graphics rt psycho at 60+ fps in any area

The questionable benefits that RT gives compared to the performance hit is not worth it.

Короче, пацаны, не стоят эти лучи урезания производительности больше, чем в два раза! Долбался, долбался с графоном на RTX 3070, чтоб и лучи были, и фреймрейт хороший, искал компромиссы в настройках. В итоге плюнул, выключил RT и поставил все на ультра. Полет отличный

The accuracy for lightning and shadow Path Tracing gets is crazy dude

Path tracing rulez.

Do I need to have the rest of the rt settings on for overdrive to take full effect? Or is it enough to turn it alone? Does it provide the reflections shadows etc?

I feel like my eyes must be broken, because I feel like the only situation where I'd be able to tell the difference (without seeing them side by side) is when looking at reflections.

I play this maxed out with PT on my 3080ti. Dlss quality at 1440p and the fps is playable.

to add shine and change brightness with palette shades - no rays are needed. This is manipulation and deception from Huang

Imagine in a few years when we can do path tracing without dlss at 144+hz at 4k!

Bro max the game settings out Jesus

I think path tracing hurt my eyes😅

For me Path tracing looks the worst. Its eighter too bright or too dark. Its also more Blury than standard RT or no RT. at 1.04min You can see that Path tracing picture seems like during day light rather than in night RT off and Ray tracing are better looking.

The whole damn game is a blinding, shiny, cluster-F

Path tracinf is the most noticeable, but RTX on and off look, similar i guess? RTX on looks like 15% better

damn path tracing literally so real like right now

Pathtracing is so demanding but I would rather play 30 fps path tracing than 60 fps ray tracing

Path tracing is fucking incredible man. I only ever cared for RT reflections, in most games I could barely notice a difference with RT lighting, this comparison confirms that fact even more. In some games/scenes RT lighting even looks unrealistic. Path tracing is the real difference maker tho, it just adds a level of depth you didnt even think was possible. Coming from a 6800xt, I'm just waiting for the day where this is the norm in studios and even the lowest GPUs manage to get 60+ fps in low/med settings. It will likely take a while to get there but with the way things have been accelerating, you never know. Exciting times (even tho the current situation is ass)

yo what song is in the background? I can't find it, i know it's not the official ost

Too gloomy though.

Path tracing is what raytracing was back in the 20 series. Beautiful but the cards can't run it. Now in the 40 series even 60 class cards with 3rd gen rt cores can play games with rt easy I am guessing will be another 2 generations at least till 60 or even 70 class cards can actually use path tracing in proper gameplay

which song is that?

So contrast/shadow ratio very innovative technology

the ray tracing looks fantastic

i got a 4080 i can get over 100 fps ? with dlss3 and pathtracing? in performance+?

Only way to run Path Tracing on a 4090 at 4K is to have Frame Generation ON, but then v-sync is disabled, therefore screen tearing 😞 Hopefully DLSS3 is compatible with v-sync soon!

Which song is this from the score?

i mean... i would choose RT off anytime. the change is almost nothing? and 70-80% less fps? never

Impressing! Thank you!

”Ray tracing and path tracing doesn’t even make a difference”. Why I’ve lost faith in humanity.

Unlike others, I like what I see with path tracing, even though it's just in videos as I have a GTX 1660 Super. The differences from RT off to RT to PT are perhaps not day and night, but they are there and they do make the world feel more realistic. That's the best thing about it. This in turn will push graphics (textures and not just) become more realistic too.
It's a great move by whoever did this and yes I do wish I could have a PC to run this game like this. It won't happen for...ever perhaps.
Anyway, my point is even though I can't afford this and it is not perfect yet (at the very least performance wise), I think it's super cool and I hope they keep improving the technology.

But we are going to need AMD to do their magic too, leaving this more or less on Nvidia alone is not good for quick advancement.

I plan to play overdrive mode on a 4080, capped at 60fps 4K. Can anyone tell me what settings would be best as far as DLSS, frame generation and all those options? Thanks.

Path Tracing = mexican filter

the street scene from the thumbnail looks just amazingly realistic

PhatTracing is ubersaturatión of the lights. Can't read some illuminated signs

Path Tracing is the Future, but in 15 Years ... or more.

11-13GB of VRAM used with both RT and PT... tells a lot about how useful the 4070/4070Ti will be in 1-2 years... Nvidia is peak Planned obsolescence...

nice comparison, clearly shows that improvement in just lighting and shadows eats riduculous amount of fps, not worth it imho.

2 years ago Nvidia proposed us the 3000 series ... 2 years later it suck now you need the 4000 series ... ur not getting me anymore nvidia :P Ill wait at least 4-5 years before changing
