Cyberpunk 2077 Overdrive Mode – Ray Tracing Comparison
Ultra, Psycho and Overdrive Settings, with a variety of Balanced, Performance and Ultra Performance DLSS at 1440p. Lens Flare and Chromatic Abberation turned of in some scenes.
Even with real-time ray tracing still being in its infancy, I believe RT will become more important with current and coming generation hardware, so I created this channel with the intention of covering ray-traced games. There are plenty of channels doing mainly performance comparisons, my intention is to focus on the visual aspect and make the differences more obvious to viewers through my videos.

I ran into very great scenes. For example when I went to Judy’s the sun shined on my back and I saw my shadow in front of me as the light came through the door. I tried with Psycho and there was no shadow casting. There are very great surprises what that game capable of with Path Tracing, sometimes just feels “right”.
Edit: RTX 4080
on which driver was the comparison recorded?
New 531.61 released
4:34 Gotta verify the changes of quality on these trashes
I hope Nvidia spends this much effort working with Rockstar on GTA 6 and implementing ray+path tracing.
Great comparison, it shows the difference can both subtle or dramatic depending on the scene. I only have a 2080ti but I’m playing at 1080p dlss performance mode with 40 fps to use overdrive. I prefer blurry good graphics to sharp bad graphics and overdrive looks amazing.
A lot of these comparisons are impressive. But they really make you appreciate how good the OG lighting is.
You can see the clear difference between RT and non-RT but nothing changes from RT and path tracing
The 4000 series can stay on the shelf
Nvidia clowns
No thanks
Once again, bringing the best RT comparisons on the web.

hm, did they move local shadows to overdrive only? It's like they are missing from Psycho RT now, maybe it's just the scenes in the video. That sucks if so, they didn't take much performance.
Amaxing
Ngl I'm impressed.
Even though it looks amazing with path tracing and I'm very glad that a complex geometry game like CP2077 has received a feature like this (unlike Q2 RTX / MC RTX path traced which lacks complex geometry… although still looks incredible), I still think that devs had done a great job with faking GI in some scenes so that the difference between no raytracing and overdrive isn't that much in some environments. But one can clearly see that it really depends on the situation. That shopping cart loaded with trash looks just phenomenal in overdrive.
Thanks for the comparison.
Side by sides would have been nice.
Insane people will still say they can't see the difference lmao
Nice soundtrack you used
4:24 Damn his hands legit went from human to demon to alien
finally we have new Crysis😊😊😊
But can it run RT Overdrive without upscale?😮
Surprisingly for me, the game looks much more realistic.
even after that people keep saying ray/path tracing are gimmicks… wtf
yess I was waiting for this! Upload more of this please! especially indirect lighting in daylight
The game is still a let down
What's going on with the Psycho RT at 4:20? The interior looks way different from no raytracing and Overdrive RT, and the skin texture is very strange.
I was waiting for your video on this, and I knew you wouldn't disappoint. Very nice compilation.
I'm surprised how much better Overdrive looks even compared to Psycho because I never realized how flawed the basic ray tracing implementation was compared to full path tracing – but man, does it look good. CP2077 is not a great game, but a great tech demo for graphics, lol.
Overdrive looks very natural and realistic, but only in a camera sort of way, with stark contrasts. I mean even if you correctly trace the path of light, albeit backwards, you still have to decide in the algorithm the reflectivity of surfaces as well as maximum bounces – both will impact the contrast of the scene. We're still living in an SDR era that's trying to look like HDR. Our own eyes would adjust much better to different brightness levels than cameras, anyway. Whenever I have capable hardware and Cyberpunk 2077, I will try to turn down the bloom and reduce the dark corners somewhat to further enhance faithfulness to reality.
Best real time raytracing/pathtracing youtuber out there for comparisons. Knows exactly what scenes benefit the upgrade from rasterization and showcases those scenes beautifully. If you haven't subscribed then DO IT!
It is REALLY revolution. Amazing. Shadows and refractions are very realistic
Some times the difference is subtle, other times it is night and day. However, the overdrive mode brings a kind of visual consistency which is transformative and really increases immersion and believability of the world.
Cool man! As an artist I think the intracacies of shadows and reflections are really beautiful. I hope enough new games come out and the tech keeps developing fast enough for your channel to blow up
Throwing my PS5 in a garbage compressor as we speak
It's not exactly an "upgrade" if you need a NASA pc to run it at 40 average FPS.
I miss the days where games were optimized and beautiful for its time.
In some of these the jump from Psycho to Overdrive is like going from low/medium to ultra, wasn't expecting it to be that significant. Especially liked that segment that starts at around 2:50.
For the brave souls out there, someone made a mod that lets you increase the amount of light bounces and rays per pixel for even greater visual fidelity(with diminishing returns in some cases) and it butchers the framerate even further.
I honestly can't play without now. It makes such a huge difference, and it's amazing. CDPR really outdid themselves here
3080ti wants to kill itself without dlss 20fps max in some places. With it a laggy 45. 40 series upgrade or wait for 50 hmmm
Fantastic comparisons here. Simple and to the point. Path Tracing is really transformative in some scenes, even when compared to Psycho RT. Crazy stuff! Hopefully this will be the norm in another 5-10 years!
I can't get over how insane overdrive setting looks. Destroys pretty much any PC except 4090 and 4080 with frame generation.
