Thanks to various tricks, and provided you have a cyberpsycho machine, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to give us a masterful graphic slap, as this video superbly demonstrates.
Despite releasing in 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to be one of the best-looking games of its generation. For this, it can count on the integration of the latest technologies from NVIDIA, but also on the support of a passionate community. A new video from Digital Dreams illustrates all this to us in the most stunning way.
Cyberpunk 2077 ever closer to the border between the virtual and the real
If Cyberpunk 2077 often occupies a place in benchmarks to evaluate the performance of new graphics cards or processors, it is for very good reasons. A true concentrate of the most recent technologies, the CD Projekt RED title continues to be a graphic benchmark, almost four years after its release. With the release of Phantom Liberty, it notably served as a technical showcase for DLSS 3.5, path tracing and image generation, technologies exclusive to the RTX 4000 on NVIDIA’s side.
The result is a game that is already visually impressive in itself. But the modders have pushed the vice even further by pushing all the parameters of Cyberpunk 2077 to their limits. Digital Dreams is back with a breathtaking video illustrating all of this, all in 8K with more than 300 mods used. The result at times borders on photorealism thanks to superbly well-transcribed reflections and weather effects that scream credibility.
Of course, to display such prowess in complete fluidity, you need to be equipped with a truly monstrous PC. Digital Dreams displays a very muscular configuration in this case: RTX 4090, Ryzen 9 7950X, 60 GB of DDR5 6000 MHz RAM and an M.2 NVMe Samsung 970 EVO SSD.
Night City sleeps, long live Night City?
Cyberpunk 2077 will now have to rely solely on modders to keep it in top shape, both graphically and otherwise. CD Projekt RED has officially ended its development, now feeling satisfied with its state. It wants to look to the future and focus on The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2. After a chaotic launch, particularly on PS4 and Xbox One, 2077 has thus experienced a beautiful redemption.
Let’s hope for the Polish studio that their next games will do better when they are released. The move to Unreal Engine 5 instead of the capricious in-house RED Engine could help them in this regard. In any case, that’s all we wish them for the sequels of their two now iconic licenses.
