Rejoice, for Cyberpunk 2077’s RT Overdrive mode (opens in new tab)<\/span> is now live in all its path tracing glory. Well, rejoice if you own a recent Nvidia graphics card. Don’t rejoice if you own an older Nvidia GPU or any graphics from AMD, because it won’t run on your PC.<\/p>\nPath tracing, of course, is essentially full-fat ray tracing with more rays, more reflections, more of everything that makes lighting realistic.<\/p>\n\nAccording to the creators of Cyberpunk, CD Projekt RED, the patch, “pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in technology. However, because it is so new and fundamentally different from what we’ve been using so far, we know it’s not going to be perfect from the start and players might experience some issues \u2013 that\u2019s why we\u2019ve decided to call it a ‘Technology Preview’.”<\/p>\n
CD Projekt RED also describes the patch as, “a vision of the future that we want to share, and we’re committed to continue working on and improving this feature.”<\/p>\n
All of which is just as well given that, set to maximum detail, Nvidia’s own demo video shows RT Overdrive mode crushing an RTX 4090 down to just 16 fps (opens in new tab)<\/span>. Try running it on an RTX 2060. Yikes. Except you can’t.<\/p>\nWith DLSS including frame generation the RTX 4090 was shown returning over 100 fps. But frame generation is only available on the latest RTX 40-series family of GPUs. That may be why the release notes say the patch is currently only supported on RTX 40-series board and then just the RTX 3090 from the RTX 30-series.<\/p>\n\n\n

Behold, an RTX 4090 brought to its knees… <\/span>(Image credit: CD Projekt RED)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFor other GPUs with at least 8GB of VRAM that support ray tracing, there’s an option to render, “path-traced screenshots in Photo Mode. This is possible because it means rendering just one frame, as opposed to rendering several frames every second (i.e. FPS), which would happen when playing the game.”<\/p>\n
It sort of makes sense given the inevitable slide show that would result from enabling the mode on lesser ray tracing-capable cards. But it’s also a bit of a pity.<\/p>\n
It would have been nice to at least have the option of seeing it run incredibly slowly on unsuitable GPUs just for kicks and also to compare the frame rates and demonstrate how much more powerful the newer GPUs are.<\/p>\n
Anyway, for you lucky few, get downloading and try not to forget about the rest of us as you bathe in path-traced glory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
