Having extensively tested many settings, I'd say keep these settings in mind particularly:
Shadows: low/medium will offer a significant boost in frames.
Offline mode: playing in offline mode somehow increases my performance, by about 15 frames surprisingly.
RTX: I play on ultra, there's hardly much difference performance-wise between each choice. Ultra just looks nicer since the draw-distance for it is longer. Them rainy nights!
DLSS: Quality
Environmental: Low (there's not much difference visually between low to ultra honestly)
Geometry: Very high/ ultra
Textures: Probably the hardest hitter since it needs all that VRAM: Medium textures still look great on most surfaces. The obvious quality issues show up when looking at computer monitors, hand scanner panels and other such devices.
Using these settings I'm getting smooth and responsive gameplay, and hitting well above 60 inside buildings using 16GB ram, i7 3770k CPU and an RTX 2060 (not super edition).
My resolution is set to 1440p since I don't have a 4k monitor, and vsync is turned off.
So far apart from some bugs and minor annoyances, this game is blowing me away. The creativity in these main story missions are really great! Micro-drone mission especially! With RTX on that entire place looked gorgeous!
REMINDER: This is actually a very resource hungry game. Remember Crysis? The main issue there wasn't "PLEASE OPTIMISE!!!" it was more "Damn I need better PC parts" and the meme was born: Can it run Crysis? Now due to the massive technological boost in shader technology and draw distance it's "Can it run Minecraft?" "Can it run legion?" and soon "Can it run Cyberpunk?".
I'm thinking of upgrading just as soon as I find a job haha
Thank you for your insights, I will try this just after this message. But what do you mean exactly by offline mode ? Just logging out of the internet or is it an option in the game menu ?
I will be reporting here after I tried it with my i5 9600k and RTX 2070s
Honestly, I don't think we can only blame the fact that the game is demanding. There is a serious optimization problem and many people can confirm itOriginally Posted by Abacabblock Go to original post
I really wonder how you can have such performance on these specs. I also have rtx 2060 and 16GB RAM but paired with Ryzen 3600 and my FPS on DLSS Quality on 1080p resolution looked about 40 and whole thing ended, once again, with a crash after 10 minutes.Originally Posted by Abacabblock Go to original post
This game isn't demanding it's just terribly optimized. Just to point out how true this is; CDPR just released their full detailed system requirements chart. Their most demanding setting; 2160p w/ RTX on Ultra and settings on Ultra only requires a i7 5700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 lol. You can play the game on Ultra with RTX off @ 1440 w/ a 2060, not even a 2060 SUPER. WTF Ubi, we've seen Cyberpunk. It looks 10x better than your game. How in the hell are the system requirements for your game more demanding????
No this does nothing. You're just grasping at straws trying to find a solution. The solution is that Ubisoft fixes the damn game. This unoptimized piece of trash is an embarrassment. I feel so bad for the team who clearly knew this wasn't ready but were forced to release it anyway by their corporate masters.
I noticed you're a Cyberpunk fan by your avatar. Look at the recent updated system requirements. My setup apparently can run Ultra on Cyberpunk @ 1440, I can't even get locked 60 on this trash game without lowering everything to high to low settings. Not even very high, ******g high! A $1900 PC can't run this trash game in very high settings! Seriously, this game is joke.
We can't fix this on our end. The game is poorly made.
I literally had tried setting all the settings to the lowest possible settings, the lowest resolution, in windowed mode, to the point I basically couldn't even read what's on the screen. And it still ran garbage, there was maybe a 5 FPS difference, which might just as well have been because of the part in the city I tested.
