Ray Tracing “Overdrive” or Path Tracing mode benchmarked on RTX 3070ti & 4070ti Graphics cards @ 1080p and 4k. Keeping my opinions at a minimum here. This is mainly for your analysis. The technology is incredible, and when coupled with UE5, it’s going to be harder to tell games from real life. Exciting times, let’s see where this ride takes us!

We’ve been busy packing boxes for an unexpected move! As a result my new office is already stripped and this is not quite the in depth analysis I wanted to make but it does show some good comparisons showing 3070TI and 4070TI visuals and nifty diagonal wipes. Also, I highly recommend Sam Bram's video on this topic (link is in the description) if you want a great overview and analysis of this preview mode as a whole and what it means for the future of videogame visuals. And if you could drop me a like on the way out the door I’d appreciate it!
👍
Excellent video Tez, P/T makes me wish I went Nvidia rather than AMD 😛
👍 How to take something that looks incredible, and make it look incredible-r.
I agree – having cut my teeth on 80s and 90s graphics… Even this in vanilla is amazing.
Good luck with the move!
It does look amazing, but the trade offs… I don't know. 1 – to take complete advantage, you need a 4080/4090 for 4K. I'd bet it might have actually looked better at 1440. 2 – you drop 1/2 to 2/3 of your frames 3 – your latency douples or triples. lastly, graphic abberations are teh trade off to get a playable frame rate.
I have a 6700XT and play at 1440. I am forever stunned by how beautiful, and 100FPS playable it is on Ultra settings. I think this tech demo (which pretty much destroyed my game vis a vis mods for several days) is a great taste of what the future could bring, but only truly usable by roughly 1% of gamers (based on Steam hardware analytics) at the moment. I would guess that half of PC players are currently unable to even load the game, though.
The future sure does look pretty, though.
Nice testing, good job brotha. And thanks

I want a pc so i can play modded cyberpunk but i know jack about computers.can someone point me in the right direction of the cheapest solution?i am very naive so every damn commercial or youtube vid that says "cheapest gaming pc" has me sold.fortunately i know how dumb i am so havent spent any money yet.would rather have something i can hook into my projector(250 dollars got me a 120 inch screen y'all) is a raspberry pi capable of that?
Hanako is still waiting xD
Can we get much hiiiiiiigher
It’s actually good enough without ray tracing. Sad that I say that as a RTX4090 owner…
runs pretty okay on my 4090, about 80-110fps.. but to be fair, 80-90 fps drops seem a bit laggy with frame generation to me… but overall its a playable and smooth experiance
Can hardly tell the difference between SSR in combination with AA and this RT shit show with just a few puddles of water in the whole game. Don't get me wrong, I have a 4070ti which gives me the bandwith to use psycho level RT in this game, especially thanks to frame generation, but still I don't think it's worth sacrificing the performance for. If it wasn't for my frame generation, I'd glady use SSR instead of RT.
People need to understand the difference between more accurate lighting, a more realistic looking scene, and a better looking game. The three are entirely different. Ray tracing and path tracing alone only achieve the first, and could potentially offer the latter. Most games are in very fictional environments showing you quite made up areas so developers can decide what they look like. The environments in games like God of War, Metro, and Horizon Dawn are all made up. Red Dead Redemption has no ray tracing and looks (and performs) better and more realistic than Cyberpunk all day, every day.
Honestly, it's a calculated choice that nVidia is picking Cyberpunk — a fictional world with obsessive neon lights, completely still pools of water on the street, and shiny buildings to showcase ray tracing. Reviewers can be completely full of crap or duped into certain things that must be computationally expensive, are better, and make the overall graphics experience better for a game. I've never looked at Cyberpunk and thought "wow…this is great showcase for game graphics." Not once. At this point, it's the new "but can it run Crysis?"
The difference with environmental path tracing makes a massive difference. The city just feels more gritty and dangerous with PT on. Without it, it looks too glitzy and fake.
I'd say it makes a fundamental change to the playability of the game
I have a 3080 so most likely I won't sacrifice that much fps on relatively small improvements.
Still, looks amazing!
Thanks for the comparison.
Also I recalled a small detail. I don't remember if you covered this one or not but:
In one of the memory missions with Johnny, you're storming Arasaka HQ in order to rescue Alt. In that mission there's a part where a door needs to be blown open with explosives and the quest says to arm the explosive and take cover. You can choose not to arm the explosive but instead step back and simply shoot the block of C4 on the door and it will also blow up that way and the mission continues normally.
I know, a very minor detail, but a nice one IMO.
Great work as always brother. But damn you for making me wanna snatch up a 40 series card. 🙂 <3
After i get my 3080ti i played cyberpunk with rt on only, and the game without rt looks like trash, its become obvios only if u play a lot with rt on. New path tracing mode looks amazing, especially in closed areas with neon lights, and advertismants wich all cast shadows and colorful lights. Ofcourse perfomens is garbage but it is somehow a little bit better than portal rtx, and trade off is worth the picture quallity.
This reminds me of when Crysis first came out and the question was asked back then "Can your PC run it?"
Now we're getting asked the same question with all these new shinies for Cyberpunk. I have a 1080Ti and the game looks good enough to me. Of course, I'll be buyng a whole new PC in the next couple of years to experience all the shiny goodness for myself but for now this one will do the job just fine
Of course, the bigger question is "Do all the new shinies improve Tez's driving?" and it appears not. Too many distractions…
😁
Good luck wth the house move…🤞
So glad you're back. I wish you a lot of courage for your moving !!!
